I'm not a fan of the bmw or the different color body kit, but I love the looks of that visor! and everything else about it!

[FFesti_90]

That frickin blue is epic! Slick though. GJ

Hey man nice car and looks like you really put some time money and tears into it. Yeah like everyone else Im not a big fan of the emblem, paint or the rear spoiler on the front... Atleast that is what it looks like to me and I believe I have seen one on a festiva.

I assume the different color on the bumpers, rear wing and tail finisher are actually primer?

I kinda like the BMW badges, just 'cause it messes with people's minds. My brother had a set of adapters on his '66 Mustang (289) that let him install small block Chevy valve covers. The reason was strictly for ease of setting valve lash at the track due to only 4 bolts, but it was amazing how many people would see the "Chevrolet" on the valve covers and think it was a Chevy engine!

I would try to make a custom BMW style grill with two vertical center elements, just to complete the facade!

Welcome to the site. Here's my suggestions - dump the rear GTX bumper and get one of the ATH ones (it matches the size of your front bumper) and then paint the kit and TF to match the rest of the car.

I wish I had room to store 7 Festivas.

It looks like you spent a lot of hard work into the car - I think it looks sharp
I would like to see your windshield visor from a couple different angles
Like its been said guys get touchy about the emblems - I've pulled the ford emblems off mine but I will be replacing with australian festiva emblems

blkfordsedan reminded me of what it needs: the BMW trademark grille shape.

I've thought of doing a "BMW Festiva." I doubt I ever will, since it would take quite a lot of work. But I do think it would work. Here's what I'd recommend in addition to the proper grille:

Take off the "visor." Those are (in my mind at least) associated more with custom vans than BMWs, or even cars.

Use an understated color scheme, preferably with a common BMW color. Make everything match as well as you can.

The quad round headlights under clear cover look would work really well. Few if any BMWs have Festiva style aero headlights.

Think more of making it look like a 2002 era BMW than a brand new one. And no, I ain't talking about the model year.

BMW ended for me in 1976, when they decided to get out of the "basic sports coupe" business. I drove a 2002 once, but it was $1000 more than I could afford, so I bought a used '81 Civic instead (a much better choice for a poor student, and an excellent choice, in fact).

There was a link on hear last year about a guy that mounterd a BMW grill in a festiva, even took it to a couple BMW dealers. One even said he had heard of the small BMW 121 but didnt know they were ever sold in the US

Get rid of that piece of crap over the windshield, paint it all one color, and you'd have something there :-)

[spiko]

I think it looks great minus the windshield thing and the BMW emblems, just get it painted and it will look wicked!

[25Horseplay]

Although we all don't agree with his choice of a windshield visor we need to respect his way he built HIS car. If we all built these cars the same it would be boring! Lets lightning up and make him feel more welcome here. (even though he's been a member for some time!)

Modify until your heart's content but for this bunch covering the Ford Festiva logo with another just cuts to the quick.

Uh, not really.
Ford had very little to do with this car!
That's a good thing!
So not all of us, by a long shot, are foaming at the mouth Ford fans.
They make good stuff and they make bad stuff, just like any other auto manufacturer.
Of course they did seem to get their act together and maybe the only car company left standing.
So they deserve some credit, but they also built the pinto.

Always wanted one. An early model, with the little bumpers (the explosive ones).
