Yes it does, otherwise you will look like a douche, you cannot pull off wide wheels on a car especially one like that without it sitting correctly and having stretched tyres. Its just fact!

Just get a TDCI and drive it until the Si is done then sell it once the Si is done.

you've come along way with your fez since you first bought it

I'd still remap it. Any TDCi deserves a remap.

thanks terry i have but most of it hasnt touched the car lmao!

shout sam, but ur down southhhhh mate! no chance, i want to do this properly so i am now saving for a fiesta zetec tdci (not the zetec s)

cud remap it ry but my focus needs to be on the si.

i will be slamming the fez and whacking probz cossie rims, i know its expensive (as chris poiinted out) but thats as far as id go and it wud look quirky. so ill probably turn up to FF in it since my mot and insurance is up before then.... then hopefully shit will happen so hola if anyone comes across one. dont really want to go above £2500 tbh

thanks chaps,

ill do you a deal ben .. i wont make any snide, rude or funny comments about your choice of car as long as its not a 5dr ! if you buy a 5dr i will hump the fuck out of your face but i will keep an eye out for shiz for you p.s. not far from you

lmaooooo! genuine just thinking of a 5 door

the only reason is, once i finish fifi (engine etc) ill be giving the car to my mum as her piece of shit astra is expensive to run, tax the lot... so that is the plan. so not sure if a 5 door wud suit her more... n a slammed 5 door on cossie rims, u cant go wrong really?

thanks sam, will have a gander.... wont be buying for another month yet, save moneys etc like

i was looking at them, sensible offer of 500 like... but no stretch on the tyres? but, if its slammed, i will need stretch!

_________________

fifi

was thinking like 195?

_________________

fifi

still a bit of stretch like... not low enough though


tooo many doors lol, ur right. anyone got ideas on boot space? how does it differ between the 3 and 5 door? obviously 5 door will be smaller, but by how much?

got a pic of 195s?
