Have a good shot of a Ingot Silver Fiesta ST? Post it here. Can be yours, or any cool pic you find.

I'm not surprised at all.. But I love the color on the FiST after seeing it... Even though I really dislike silver on cars in general (for the most part)... If I could have two, I'd get a silver one...

But I called it a while ago... Silver / green will be the rarest. Red not far behind.. The only reason I see red anywhere is because of dealer stock orders. I have yet to hear of a person actually wanting to custom order red over the orange.

I think silver is getting over looked a lot because it usually looks plain on vehicles.... But I think the Fiesta ST is a great exception, because of the black components creating a fantastic contrast, and because of the styling/lines & modern design... It really suits the car. Especially from the front.

Initially, I liked the white the most.. but that was based on drawings & digital renderings. I still liked it after seeing photo's... But seeing the green paint in person swayed me, and then seeing silver on the FiST bumped silver up from one of my least favorite.. to my 2nd fav.

I think it's probably going to be the most underrated color choice, and I am sure that anyone who opts for it will be glad they did.

Silver looks great with the Rado wheels and the red calipers to match the ST emblems...all I wanna really do is add 35% tint to match and lower the car enough to eliminate fender gap and Im happy. Im a simple kinda a guy and dont like to attract attention so those other bright colors although nice dont work for me.

The tires I chose, were: 205/45R-17 Kumho Ecsta PA31

I live in Maryland, and as a Michigan transplant, I believe true snow tires just aren't necessary around here. Instead, I went for some All-Seasons, since I could run them for as long as I needed. Also, I have the option of swapping these wheels onto my Focus ZTW in the summer while returning to my stock FiST wheels.

I too ordered silver, for essentially the same reasons. I don't want to stand out in traffic, I want the car to disappear. These are the wheels and tires I'll be using..

The wheels are matt grey, going for the monochrome look.

These are Motegi 125 wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport A3s

I wanted a light colored FiST, white was my first choice, but instead I got Ingot Silver after seeing it in person. The SUV look has to go though... lol

Meagan said by the 31st. I got a call this weekend from the Salesman who said between the 27th and 29th. He said I would have it THIS year. It's gonna work out really well because my son and daughter will be in town to help me pick it up. I live in Southwest Washington, and the car is coming to Portland Oregon, about 60 miles away.

I kind of regret not getting the very first silver I test drove without recaros. The damn orange seats on my tux were calling me but if i could choose again i would go silver. Black is for people who like to wash and wax their car oncr a week...i dont ugh.

Heh. I would have gone for a Tuxedo Black FiST if... I had a garage. Black still looks freakishly amazing when it is clean. It just doesn't stay that way for long. No matter what color my car is, I'm always out there rubbing the clear coat off with a microfiber cloth and Maguire's Quick Detailer. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm anal retentive (or OCD). lol :p

But at least silver always looks clean even when its not lol...one of tje reasons i loved my silver TL. Ive gone weeks without a wash and still would get compliments on how nice it looked.

Well, most of the time any ways. These wheels look like rubbish when they get a lot of brake dust on them.

Lol no kiddin! Thats why i bought black sparcos.

Yeah, hopefully they are painted gloss and not matte black (I can't really tell from the pic you posted). Matte black looks almost just as bad with brake dust on them.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A3s. .. All season.. Everything I've read says that they outperform most Summer Only tires in the Summer, but they're all season tires, even good in light snow. The wheels are Motegi 125 in Matte Gray. I'm kinda going for the monochrome look... I was considering having the calipers painted red, but I'm thinking now that they look good in the silver to match everything else.
