Are they the Kopacek ones? Seems like a rookie question, but how difficult was the install?

Aliexpress ones £15 ish delivered. Think the same ones are only a few quid more on ebay for quicker delivery though. Easy enough installed they come with all you need in box inc a T20 (I think) screwdriver and a trim removal tool. This video is very helpful for install.

Did have eye on a mint 2018 manual V8 Mustang in grey with 10K miles at a SEAT dealers, it was there a while and priced very well, but sold last week... Will just drive the Fiesta for now as it's only on 30,700 miles and see what happens over next while, no rush.

Clear out some of the cobwebs in the wee thing then?

It's a bang tidy wee motor tbh. Totally stock, plain, boring, slow, but it's a class wee workhorse and very appropriate for my 7 miles commute. Might replace the heated windscreen, prob won't.

My fav pics folder for my 5th vRS: 

[mac11irl]

i still love the colour. 

it would look vulgar on a mk1, and weird on a mk2, but it looks class on a mk3

[mac11irl]

as for the feshty, we ran a few '05 vans for engineers pool vans back in the day, before they all got replaced by bog level connects 🙄

the feshties were grand. nippy (ish) but with an empty boot f'kall over the rear axle could make them a bit lively on bad roads. and noisy on a long journey... bleeding eardrums after a 2hr motorway to HQ kinda noisy

100% pure aluminium and a bit of paint / lacquer, the BIG 15" beasties not the wee 14" steelies I will have you know! 

[AnnoyingPentium]

I take it that it's a Ghia? It looks like the courtesy car my Granda had when he crashed his Punto, except his was maroon.

No no no, that's a 'Zetec Climate' (heated windscreen, electric heated mirrors and AC)

I've got most of those, besides the heated windscreen, so yeah, still posh.

Only a few lines work on windscreen lol, needs replaced. Still has factory barcode stickers on the windows it's that fresh and un messed with! AC I got gassed and worked but not for long so something leaking somewhere but compressor did its job and clutch worked etc. Not worth the hassle cost £69 and the main dealer that did it reported pressure test fine GURRRR. Everything else works, like those mirrors lol.

All my side windows and the tailgate are original, the windscreen was replaced last November.

Mine is the same, my Mum gets 50% off work carried out on family members' cars at the Peugeot dealer she's working in (or something like that), so I'm just waiting for a time when I can afford it or be arsed.

 

My mirrors are a godsend when it's baltic as well. I'd be lost without them.

My vRS had headed windscreen, I really will miss it. Might pay the £250 to replace it, but as i've had this Fiesta 3 years now I've wasted 3 years not getting it back then and 3 years use I won't get from spending that now.... Might just stick with water and less of a feck being given... Dead handy for condensation though
