Just a follow-up: I plan on installing Continental ExtremeContact DWS 195/50ZR16 to replace the OEMs and Continental ExtremeWinterContact 185/60TR15 for winter duty.

I emailed Trevor for a price on the headlamps, and he did not get back with me. I got a price from another site, and realized that project can be on hold until later. Think the quote was over $400 for the non-projectors and without shipping. With refinishing my 17" wheels, getting new summer tires, new winter wheels/tires, painting/installing the body kit and spolier, a few odds and ends, plus whatever I want to do to my Mustang and RC cars the $400+ for the lights put me over my budget for this year. Next year I am thinking about the european black headlights and the FSWerks exhaust. My Mustang still needs some parts too, so I need to balance out my projects. I need cheaper hobbies

Isn't there a chance your headlights will point into the wrong direction, when you order them from the UK?!

No, I decided to drive on the other side of the road so I will match the headlights.


Just kidding, I had left hand drive lights quoted.

When I do purchase for sure I'm going Euro lamps all the way around. I dont care for the honeycomb over the backup and the turn signals. Euro projectors halogen, rear lamps, aftermarket custom made rear fog lamp, possible intergration of the European light switch, I'm skirting the issue of doing a front end swap I really am, rims with a good directional tires and call it good. I may just crack and go with Euro bumpers all around and Eurotize my Fiesta like what I'm doing to my Focus. Sometimes it takes a while for Trevor to get back, if you get nothing in a couple of days send the email again. They get backed up really quick some times.

What I wonder is WHICH "customers" they polled...and why did they need to match the Verve concept when the EU Fiesta was getting gangbuster positive reviews....I too would like to smack the marketing department upside the head their decisions just don't make sense to me.

Matthew,

It seems like you have some insight on delivery dates. Can you provide any more information on the outlook?

Griff,

Yes, I do have quite a bit of insight. I can tll you that a May delivery is going to be almost unobtainable. You will most likely see delivery in June, or early July.

Reason being, we have to have one week of "clean" production. Meaning that all of the vehicles are built properly, and do not have any issues. Also, this isa new vehicle, and we could run into a problem somewhere along the line.

So, with that said, I would say that June sometime would be your best guess. We will know a little more once we start getting scheduled vehicles.

Email me at [email protected] with your information, and I will look into it for you to see if you have a schedule date yet.
