My First Car And First Ford :D

[Cieran]

my first car and first ford is a 2004 ford ka err i havent got pictures atm because the boot has been twisted in a previous accident "btw its by a previous owner and not myself" so as soon as i have a new boot for it and all new paint job i will get some pictures up

[justaddmud]

there is a lot of love for the ka's out there, based on the mk4 fiesta i believe so lots of parts and mods available, engine is loosely based on the kent/crossflow, (i say loosely as although they appear the same, very little is interchangeable)

get some pics up, and well done on passing the test

Yeh it looks more like the fiesta mk 4 face lift.
yeh there is alot of parts out there for the ford ka, im just saving up for some Ap coilovers, a bonnet bra and maybe some rs1800 or ronal R10 turbo's not too sure yet.

and thanks im getting insured in two weeks so i will be going to some more shows and will deffinetly be at bromley pageant next year; i went this year but i wasnt in my car

there is quite a good selection of ford wheels out there that look good on smaller car's, seen some of the mk2 mondeo st24 propellor alloys on fiesta's and look the nutz, also early 5 spoke turbine puma alloys look good too

there was a Ka or fez round here recently with capri 2.8 pepper pots and stupid stretched tyres, looked very wrong

ahh i was thinking of the ford rs1800 seen a couple on a mondeo down the road thinking of jacking em "JOKES!" but yeh im liking the rs1800's
and i was going to say pepper pots are meant to be left normal not stretched, you stretch stuff like ronals or every vdub's fav bbs lms or rs's.

but yeh im thinking of going to the ford dealership round my area in the next week or so and see what they got anything worth getting.

If you are thinking pepperpots... how about getting them diamond cut like people do with the RS 4 spokes?? Maybe something little different

[Cieran]

actually thats not a bad idea; i'll have a root around ford garages, and ebay etc... for some pepperpots and see what people want for them; its good to be unique

[sittingbudda]

A few ideas to get you going.... borrowed from various other forums

[Cieran]

i actually prefer the first picture; i dont like it in black :/

So the grey and chrome effect is looking for deffinite

[sittingbudda]

A couple based in kent.... cheap too!!
