2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Powershift
#1
Newbie on the forum here.

Require a couple of things.

Damaged 2 of 15" steel rims on the 2011 Fiesta (MK VI) 1.6 Powershift. However the PCD is not the standard Ford 4x108, but rather 4x100. Does anyone have that they are looking to offload after replacing with alloy's, or worst case scenario, where I can source that is not a dealership?

In addition, looking for the rear bumper insert for a MK V Fiesta ST (and the rim inserts if these are still available in some form or another).

I’m not sure what market region your Fiesta was from, there were several variations. But, in general I would go online and see what you can find that is in your territory. There are alignment and suspension shops that also sell tires and wheels. They can do the install even if they have to order the wheels in specifically for your Fiesta.
The rear valance panels are often not very nice if you can even find a used one. I would go online and see what is available from the nearest online parts store. I have found that it is way cheaper to just get a new valance panel than spending time on looking for a used one.
One almost universal truth about the modern Fiesta is that the rear bumper covers are unique to each body style and type. So we cannot install an ST valance onto a basic Fiesta hatchback or a hatchback valance onto any sedan bumper.
Good hunting!

IF the rims are 4x100 - wow, you found hubs to fit that rim for the fiesta!

The typical Fiesta uses the 4 x 108mm or the 4 bolt with 4.25 (4 - 1/4 inch) space between centers

As @scotman mentions earlier - Ford Tiempo 14" and I myself use Ford Contour - in 15" but are 4 x 108's

(We have members that may be needing to know the above to help them someday) - and one recently had a crash after investing a lot into the effort - it hurts to see how builds get wrecked by another driver whom didn't pay attention - it's dangerous out there - and that's just city streets.

In the US we don't have the luxury of having such options. I'd love to know the history of your build to even get it to this level - I'd like to know how your searches go and if you find these sources and are willing to share - please do!

The China built version of Fiesta has 4x100 bolt pattern wheels. It might be that it has the Mazda 2/Demio hubs and knuckles and some other odd bits like drive axle outer stubs.
I have worked on the Chinese market Focus and Ecosport in the recent past. They also had some of that “same but different “ thinking of component choices. Some of them were probably done because Ford was developing


power trains with both Mazda and the Chinese automaker Changan. So if they could source some content through their regional suppliers, they went to them. I imagine that in many parts of Asia, the Fiesta with a 1.4 petrol engine drives more like a Mazda 2 than what we recognize in North America.
