I was looking at getting one myself. I think they look great. Was going to ask how did you fit it? The ones I have seen just stick on but I'm not sure I would trust it And would like to know also. Great job with the car looks amazing

cheers chaps
the roof scoop was on the car when i got it about 5 years ago and it has been bonded to the roof with mastic type stuff, proberly tiger seal. i have also stuck the roof spoiler on the same way
the horns i managed to find on Ebay after about 3 months of looking, i got them for £40 everywhere i was looking were more like £80 so i was pretty happy with that lol.
splitter was also a ebay find think i payed about 70-80 for that ages ago, its fibreglass aswell so pretty easy to repair when i bottom out lol

Thanks I might get one then if it's lasted 5 years that you know of and still stayed on. It was worring me that I would have paid to get one, then see a Fiesta drive past sporting it in its windscreen

Loving this bug.
I was just thinking of a wheel upgrade for mine, and was searching for pics of this wheel size to see how it looks, and perfect is the answer :-)
What size tyres are they? 225/45/17 or 235/45/17?
Thanks
Andy

the tyres are 225/45/17s, i had to do a little bit of arch work at the back to stop it rubbing but that was down to me not wanting to raise it up any more lol
