O......................K.
I don't really like it.
It seems to be an American car... did they sell them over there?! Those indicators / reflectors on the wings look like a Yank-spec thing. The bumper looks different too.
For me it's the wrong car to have something like that done to it.

Its a special kind of horrid  Yeah the Yanks got the Fiesta Mk1, AFAIK all Fiestas sold over there had the XR2 style grill with round headlights, but slightly different finish to it. I think they probably sold about half a dozen! It may have been badged as a Mercury or a Mazda? Dunno. |

Mutant, no reason why it should look so disformed.

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Mmmm - that really isn't right at all  There was a much more subtle one at Billing last weekend's NSRA meeting It was a MK2 mind but the bodywork was pretty much stock - no wide arches or wings - just huge back tyres under a tubbed rear end & a big bonnet scoop Didn't get a picture of it though unfortunately  |

it has some redeeming features...............
maybe on different wheels, put the bonnet back into the original position and remove the complteley stupidly located bumper.
maybe, juyst maybe............

That's a VERY extreme way to cover up all the areas that go scabby on a mk1 Fiesta....  Mine will be staying scabby I think! |

Bonnet back as normal, bumper off, get rid of running boards and put some (can't believe I'm saying this) slightly more sensible wheels on and it might look quite cool. Indicators look alright, colour is good but as is it looks like it's on a trailer- which is never a good look.

I think if you just took the bumpers and side steps off it'd be nearly fine but there's something about the rear arches, they just don't sit right.
