Thanks buddy! I guess once I finish with some more gizmos, it will be even better!
Yes, its aftermarket. Made sure the wiring done as per Ford's requirements.
Thanks for your comments! Hella fogs, never thought about it. I will check it out and let you know!
For now I have ruled out spoiler's & skirt's. But I would love to see some pictures of others who have done it. Depending on how it looks I may change my decision :)

I came across your thread yesterday when I was looking information specific to Fiesta Classic LXI model. I'm researching for a petrol one, but the details you've provided were very useful. Thanks for sharing all the information and the images.
I've a quick question - can you get door handles and mirrors painted from Ford Dealer itself? How much does that cost? Any ideas?
Also, does anyone have an accessory list with recent prices? I'm interested in quit a few things.
The image which shows your city clutch on-off switch - there's another switch there - is that for fog lamps?

@ragha2010 - Thank you for a quick response. That helps me in deciding whether to go for the vehicle or not. I had visited the showroom on Saturday, but LXI model was not with them. I did check out the CLXI kept on the shop floor. But then wanted to know how exactly the LXI model looks.
And your thread was just what I needed. So thanks once again for sharing the pics.
The accessories I have in mind are:
1. Front fog lamps. How much do they cost in Ford v/s aftermarket?
2. Door handles/mirrors painting. How much would it cost in aftermarket? And what is the procedure to do the same? Would it damage the parts?
3. I have some ICE from my previous vehicle, so wanted to get that installed. I will do so from the reputed and professional installer I got it done from, for my previous vehicle. The set-up includes, single din HU with 2 pre-outs, front 6.25" components, rear 6x9 co-axials, 4 channel amplifier. And other miscl things needed to do the set-up - fuses, amp wiring kit, dampening, etc.
4. Wiper blade upgrade. Can we install those twin blade ones - or those which come on new Fiesta? How much would that cost?
5. Alloys - What cost for the OEM SXI (now called Titanium variant) alloys? Would it be good to get them from Ford dealer? If not, how much would set of 5 cost in outside market? Do you think we can upsize them? From 14" to 15"
6. Parking sensors. Good to get from dealer? Or from aftermarket? Just the simple beep ones, nothing hi-fi. Don't need the remote locking functionality package.
7. How about K&N filters? and Spark plug upgrades? Any ideas?
Sorry, the list is never ending. Just wanted to mention some of the important ones here.
Please help me out with it. Also, another important point is - Does any of the upgrades void the warranty in any way?

Hi Raja,
City Clutch is basically a replacement to your left leg which operates the clutch automatically. The clutch is comprised of 3 things.
The city clutch de-clutches the clutch when you press BRAKE lever or accelarator not pressed.
Its basically a best alternative to the auto cars out there. I would recommend it to install it if you live in city and have a manual car. Makes your life lot easier.
Thanks,

- The processing unit will be fixed under drivers seat.
- Pulley/Chain linked to clutch which is controlled by processing unit
- Gear knob button to clutch & declutch.

Hi There,
See below are my recommendations:
1. Front fog lamps. How much do they cost in Ford v/s aftermarket?
I paid Rs 1500, ford will cost you Rs 2500
2. Door handles/mirrors painting. How much would it cost in aftermarket? And what is the procedure to do the same? Would it damage the parts?
Minimum Rs 2000 or more. It would not damage parts. Just consult your local paint work shop. They should be able to do it. Ford will cost you lot more.
3. I have some ICE from my previous vehicle, so wanted to get that installed. I will do so from the reputed and professional installer I got it done from, for my previous vehicle. The set-up includes, single din HU with 2 pre-outs, front 6.25" components, rear 6x9 co-axials, 4 channel amplifier. And other miscl things needed to do the set-up - fuses, amp wiring kit, dampening, etc.
Should not be a issue, ford already as option for speakers in the car. Just make sure they fit in them.
4. Wiper blade upgrade. Can we install those twin blade ones - or those which come on new Fiesta? How much would that cost?
No idea about this you should talk to ford.
5. Alloys - What cost for the OEM SXI (now called Titanium variant) alloys? Would it be good to get them from Ford dealer? If not, how much would set of 5 cost in outside market? Do you think we can upsize them? From 14" to 15"
OEM Alloys were quoted Rs 22,000 for set of 4. I got set of 5 for Rs 19,000 including nuts, bolts etc.
6. Parking sensors. Good to get from dealer? Or from aftermarket? Just the simple beep ones, nothing hi-fi. Don't need the remote locking functionality package.
Simple ones will cost you Rs 750. Better from aftermarket.
7. How about K&N filters? and Spark plug upgrades? Any ideas?
I would not try those on new car. Maybe after a year. So no comments.
Glad to be of help, let me know if any questions.
