IIRC Mk3 mondeo calipers and ST170 discs apparently make a great brake upgrade.
There is an article on these in this months PPC magazine too if you are interested. Actually I could probably photo it and post it up if you wanted.

"de-tuned" from the factory mate to make the gains from dealers offering the Montune IIRC upgrades seem greater (like Peugeot being very pessimistic on the XSi power to make the GTi6 look faster)
Cheers Chris, the stripes have grown on me, it's obviously not 'professional' for an office manager but on a fun car I think they work. I don't really understand the blue tint on the dash though, doesn't add anything at all!
If it's not too much trouble I'd be interested in that article, I don't get any car mags lol.
And yeah they are detuned, and also purposely restricted by the exhaust so I keep being told lol.

If you join the Fiesta ST Owners club then you'll see my 'How to Guide' on fitting the Mondeo brake upgrade
The car already has stickers on it so I guess I should join that forum! Might even find an old project thread detailing how to paint the dash badly and fit a worse stereo...
In other news, this is now taxed, insured and ready to go.
