G'day guys,
Quick one. (and apologies if this has been answered already, I searched but couldn't find anything...) Basically, my other half has a fiesta zetec WS. There are these clear sticker things on the bottom of each rear door, near the guards.......are they meant to be removed? We aren't sure, and I don't want to damage the car at all, specially when I'm a pedantic pain the bum with my UTE  I can take a photo, but I've seen this on other fiesta WS's so I figure you guys and gals will know what I'm talking about... Any help would be great, thanks, Sam.

ours didnt have any, but they are indeed for stones. very early on in the WS model i remember a thread that showed a few fiestas with bad stone damage on that area of the fiesta.
i guess its up to you if you keep them on, but you probably wont get a warranty repair on it, if you take them off id be guessing. |

keep them on!!! I have an original delivery (2008 build date) 3 door without them and the stone chips are horrendous, I would get them fixed but it'll just happen again.
