hi all. ive bought an R reg mk 4 fiesta after my mk3 si fell to rot.lol.

ive owned it for 2 weeks this friday and am coming to ford fair for the first time this year with unfortunatly only a set of rims and a tidy install but il try my best to represent this great club.

Im going to be putting the prophet kit on it in the next month as its orderd but wont be ready by ff.just wonderd what people thought of this kit? i like that its subtle but different from standerd but i just thought id ask what you think of it? tap PROPHET KIT in to google pics and judge for yourself?

cheers :thumbsup:

I had the MS Design version of that, and I liked the lines. It suits cars, but you need to lower the car with some bigger wheels for it to really go down well.

I didn't fit it all, and I only went 25/30mm on eibach springs with the standard 14's. It needed another 25mm I thought. The Fiesta was an unfinished project really :lol:

the lines do suit it though. I never fitted the sideskirts, just the blue front and rear. Hardcore chav. :lolz:

i know everyone has their own view on things and that the mk 4 is possibly the least desireble of all fiestas but iv never had as much enthusiasm for a project car as this mk 4, it can be dirt cheap to make smart which is good for me being a family man.lol. dont suppose u still have that zetec spoiler????? i think a 30mm drop will suit it well?

Mine was the MSD kit, that was made of ABS plastic or something, so it's probably a little different to the prophet kit (this one costs Â£600+)

It was such a good fit, I didn't need tappets or anything but a bit of glue, and the sideskirts were perfect!

Great fitting kit.

I had a puma/zetec s oval pipe on mine. 2.5" or something.

Mk4's can be made to look better than Mk5's IMO

excelent.its good to no its a DIY job rather than a body shop.iv have a quote to have it all sprayed for Â£200 including the bumpers which are currently black.

i think im gunna go for the piper 3" outwardly rolled exhaust, dont think its really worth putting a full system on a 1.3.lol.
