Default Panther Black Fiesta Zetec - New Owner

Ok, picked up my brand new Panther Black Fiesta Zetec this morning. It looks awesome, drives awesome, is awesome.

I can't wait until it's run in properly, 'cause it already drives better than my old LX. Gear changes are so easy on that the gear box & the suspension is killer.

The scuff plates hit your eye when you open the door & the ruby saphire seats look hot!

Man, I'm going for a drive...

Well I planned to take it in today, but it turns out they're booked until next Tuesday. Which is no problem really, the money is already paid, just gives me a few days of driving my new baby!

A little from column A and a little from column B, methinks. Congrats on finally getting your car mate! Don't forget the pics once that system has been installed too. :P

They make the right offset in these wheels, just not the right stud pattern :(
I wanted some originally too.

Congrats on finally picking up the car Sway

Very nice. You need the leather gear knob to go with the wheel. The silver bit kept popping out of my original one. Going to look sweet when you're finished.

Looks top, the colour of the seats is pretty damn sweet. I hadn't seen that particular colour yet. I'd be itching to colour code the bump strips though. The gloss and matte looks a little odd together imo.
