Steffo, The rake angle is NOT different mate. I'm telling ya. The only differences are the cosmetic things. Ford wouldnt spend that much on a minor facelift.

The different bump strips & slightly different sized wheels create an interesting illusion. Makes the WQ LOOK smaller than the WP when they're the same size.

End of discussion! nice job Danny... there is no way in hell ford would do any metal expensive work changes for a facelift on the fez, purely revised plastics etc...

Wonder if that means WQ tail lights and front bumper + grill would fit on my Wp (dont want the ugly rear bar or head lights but thats another argument altogether )

The headlights are interchangeable and so are the taillights. Front bumper would probably need new mounts but could be done.

Mind you, you can buy larger doors for the Fiesta as an aftermarket mod.

Check out:

www.european-parts.com/fiestadoors/youradikhed.

As well as giving the Fiesta a more aggressive look, they add 6-7kW to the power output and lower fuel consumption by 3.1 %
