Hi guys!

I hale from Brisbane, Australia.

Currently own a 'True Red' 2011 (WT) Fiesta Zetec.

(Zetec being the top spec model at the time with chrome trim, fog lights, big spoiler, slightly sportier seats and suspension, 16" alloys and 1.6 Petrol with 5 speed manual)

Me and the Missus have decided to take the jump and order a Fiesta ST!

Took one for a test drive a week ago and was truly deeply impressed on how it handled.

I have driven many a fleet car, and was always impressed how the standard Fiesta handled in comparison.

Not a wallowy, soft, mushy, uncertain autoslushbox powered "Whitegood".

Standard Fiesta was good, ST a huge step up again!

Now all we have to do is wait *boing boing boing* - This will be difficult!

Oh yes, and it will be red, of course

Im curious, what are the wait times like for ST's in other countries?

Australian ones are built in Germany, and there are essentially zero spare. 2-3 month wait for it to be ordered, built and shipped.

Its so red n cute!
Did you get any optional extras on yours?
Me n the Missus were thinking of a window tint + a rubber non slip boot mat for shopping.
The ST will be our daily driver.

Also hearing differing accounts of delivery times. Everything from 6 weeks to 4 months.

I'll bear that in mind.
Don't really know much about tinting.
All that I ask of a tint is to not too dark and normal-ish light transmission properties.
Was in another car recently and the headlights of all the cars behind were a weird alien green colour.
