Any Plans for Exterior Upgrades?

I have already ordered a "Clear Bra".
Unfortunately some of the roads I drive have eaten the front of my current Fiesta.
I don't plan to let this happen again, or at least slow it down.

I will also be adding my rear spoiler extensions.

I think the clear bra is a good idea... I'll be more interested in seeing how that goes for you and others this next time around.

Do you know if the extensions will fit the FiST spoiler? I know the non-FiST hatchback spoiler is different (extends out more) than previous years.

I want to see what changes the Fiesta SFE has. I think its mostly aero under the car but if it adds some mileage and top speed I'll put it on my ST.

I will not install the clear bra myself.
I have an open appointment to have this done on the day I take delivery of the car.

The spoiler extensions are not removable and also are currently not available.
I have only been able to take external measurements but the FiST spoiler appears to be the same as the previous years Euro Spoiler.
I kept this from my current car.
The plan is to have it repainted and put on the FiST.
So right after the clear bra I will confirm the fit, then it is off to paint.

Do you have any pics of the spoiler extension compared to stock?

Do they have any function?

Looks just like the Focus ST one. Nice, but I think I'd have it paint matched.

The rear spoiler on the Focus ST was copied from the Fiesta Euro Spoiler pictured above.
The FiST rear spoiler is the same piece.
The extensions are the black fins glued to it.
They were designed by an ex-Ford engineer working for Mountune.

The only external mod I want to do is to shave all the badging. Keep it a secret what it really is.

What about the front grill ST?

Maybe get a billet grille powder coated black to replace or cover the original grille after I remove the grille badge.

Will you change the rear spoiler and wheels as well.
Then put an SE badge on it and you will have a real sleeper.

Dave

No, just leave the rest stock. I'll change the wheels for the winter. I'll be keeping a separate set of wheels and tires for winter.

The non-ST spoiler is longer than the 11-13 models.

Looks old ones smaller to me... I could pull mine off the shelf and measure.

Let me know, but it looks exactly the same to me...

For those talking about clear-film, I have opened up a new thread in the detailing section asking for opinions, ideas and experiences with new car protection.
