Non ABS.
With ABS, i would have had to wait for 2 or 3 months.

Here we go with the recommendation ,,a NEW Fiat SIENA diesel ( whoa guys ) sorry but if u leave the resale value out of the pic,,this car is available at a significant lakh or so less than the fiesta,,or maybe more depending on the discounts u can negotiate

I think you got your new fiesta, why dont you post some pics of your silver fiesta. You might be thinking of getting some good registration number. What is the exact deal? What we can expect additional accessories?

It's come.
It came 3 days ago but as i didn't have net access i couldn't post.
Will be posting pictures shortly.
It was actually a surprise. I was expecting it yesterday and i thought i would go and pick it up on the way back from school but on wed. when i came back from school, i saw a silver fiesta standing next to the merc.
I spent a few seconds looking at it and then when my dad'd driver came and asked me ' gaadi kaise lagi ', then it struck me.
Anyways,
we have done 100km in these 3 days and i should have a review up in 10 days and pics tomorrow.
I have decided against putting any mods like alloys and wider tyres as i won't be driving this car and as it is, it isn't made for performance so no point in spending cash doing that.
Also, the front speaker location means i can't upgrade the speakers w/o risk to the doorpads and the trunk design means i can't upgrade them either and put a sub. and an amp.
Anyways,
i also want to put black RTO approved tints and change the number plate and most importantly the horn.
Pics coming soon
Thanks for all your help.
Cheers,
Lambo

For the front and rear speakers you can upgrade it to better quality . I guess the speakers provided are of sanyo make . So changing the front and rear to JBL or Alpine would enhance music quality. Also the CD player (kenwood ) needs to be replaced too. Happy driving
