Stickers/decals you can make yourself easily enough with a laser printer and some waterslide decal paper.

As for the wheels, you'd be looking at mucho money to buy, so you're left with the option of making yourself, probably out of plasticard either completely or modifying some 1:12th RC wheels or even leaving the wheels off completely and just leaving it up on jacks/bricks with scratch made discs and drums on show.

I think the closest you will find to a Fiesta wheel in 1:12 will be the 4 spoke Mini wheel, as seen on this car:

They're not cheap though, being made of aluminium. I paid €88 for a set in Nice a couple of years ago.
I think Mardave have a similar wheel in plastic, which might be a better idea. Kamtec have a few on ebay.
