very nice car dude!! i love it, looks insanely good for such little mods.

always been a fan of this shape focus

Miss mine soooo much.

Love it mate.

Cheers. I'm keeping this one subtle. New bumper and its done :y:

Cheers mate :hug:

Whens the new bumper goin on? Got any pictures of it?

Its like this one:


Just it doesn't have the indicator lamps in it. Not sure when its going on. Need a couple of days to spray it. Maybe over the xmas holidays

That is nice! Gonna look sweet. I think you should sell it me when you get bored, px for my westy :P

Ha ha!!! already got 2 saxo's sat on the drive. Think the neighbours would evict me if I got another!!!!!

No updates as yet, but some good and bad news:

Good news:
I've ordered some more smoked side repeaters. Should be here by the weekend.
Also ordered some Focus RS style mudflaps to try and keep the car a bit cleaner during the winter months.
Also I have smoothed the towing eye cover off the new Reiger bumper ready for whenever I get it sprayed.

Bad News:
I am having more suspension troubles :( The rear drivers side shock absorber is leaking and needs replacing. Rear of the car has been knocking for around a week now, I thought it was one of the bushes, but when I looked at the weekend theres oil all over the shock. Am currently talking to Spax to see if I can make a warranty claim, but its not looking hopeful, so will have to order a new shock at some point this week.
Car is also in desperate need of a service, so that will also be done at the weekend when it will also be washed for the first time in 6 weeks :y:

Not really an update as such, but so far today I have

1. Recieved and fitted new smoked side repeaters.
2. Recieved the new mudflaps - will be fitted tommorrow
3. Given the car a service - new plugs/leads, oil change and a k&n panel filter
4. Cleaned it.

Will get pics up tommorrow when its been hoovered inside and the mudflaps are fitted.

love this car

Cheers dude :y:

Couple of pics from yesterday:

Dirty (this is what 500 miles a week for the past month does)

I then got it up on the ramps



Side repeaters were changed if you look closely ;)

Engine was flushed and then the oil drained



Oilfilter drained and changed


Plugs were changed and ht leads
old and new

Looks sexy when its dirty :P

A k&N panel filter has also been fitted. Car now runs much sweeter.
Then pressure washed the underneath


Then moved on to the outside.
Pic of the washed and dirty bits so you can see how bad it was!


And all cleaned


After this, it was properly washed with hot water and sponge. Fitted the mudflaps today, but it was too dark by the time i had finished. Will be giving the car a proper whoring session on my day off later this week, so will update then :)

Ha ha. I quite like it when its that dirty as well. Makes people laugh as well. I was just getting sick of getting my clothes dirty every time I get in it though! Much better clean :)

Looks really nice Andy, Very dirty !!! hahah, And Wheels still look sooo good on it mate.

Keep up good work

Cheers Mark. It was nice and clean lol, but then been out to work today and its filthy again now. will give it a proper wash Thursday I think.

Gave it a wash today. Here's a couple of pics that show the mudflaps fitted as well.



It was way too cold to give it a proper clean and wax etc. Gonna order a new rear damper tommorrow, and then send it to the local garage to have it fitted. CAr is off the road until then, as the mounting bolt on the bottom of the shock has sheared off, leaving half of it still screwed through the mounting on the chassis :wall:

Going to let the mechanic sort it out because I can't be bothered crawling round on a freezing wet floor to do it myself.

New damper was ordered this moring. Unfortunately Spax don't appear to have any in stock, so I have to wait until they manufacture one for me, which is expected to take until Monday at least. Car is stranded on the drive until then :(

Nice car mate. Like the wheels.

Well - the car is now fixed and roadworthy again. Just been dropped off by the garage :y:
Been wierd relying on lifts and the loan of other peoples cars for the past week but no need anymore lol. Got a day off tommorrow so am going to try and fit my Kenwood touchscreen and refit/tweek the boot install, as its all in pieces at the minute whilst the shock was being fitted.

Glad its sorted mate :) Get some pictures up after you've finished tweakin ;)

will do mate :y:

Done some work on the Focus today, but haven't really done much work taking a photo of lol.

Have stripped the interior out again in preperation for running the wiring for the touchscreen headunit, and have also removed the MTX front speakers as one of the tweeters has blown. Am going to replace these with a set of DB Audio T-Rex Professionals.
The tweeter builds had to be smashed to get the old ones out, so am now in the process of re-doing them to take the new ones:


Also I went and got a new box for my sub, as I think the old one was too small and the sub never seemed to produce much volume or bass. Am trying this new box which is a vented design, so should be a bit louder. Am also sticking a Bass-Cube in for good measure :afro:

It should all be fitted tommorrow, so will update again then.

Also, a random pic of the new strut that Spax sent me that was fitted yesterday:

stunning focus mate

i like this focus

Thanks people :y:

Merry Christmas mate lol xx

And to you Ben!

Not updated this in a while, so here's a few photos of the new front components and the tweeter pods being made (again) after breaking the old tweeters out:









Everything is now fitted. The tweeter pods are done and fitted, although they aren't perfect as the primer kept reacting for some reason. I'll probably get round to respraying them again when its a bit warmer, but they don't look too bad tbh.

The Kenwood touchscreen headunit is also fitted now, but the basscube isn't as it refused to power up when installed. The sound of the install has completely changed now, and is a lot more 'bassy'. Still needs tweaking, but i'm pretty happy with it.

Pics of everything fitted to follow tommorrow in the daylight :)

looks nice mate pretty tiday :)

Cheers mate. SHould really update this thread once I clean the car :)

Really tidy mate :Y:

love your focus mate, well done, you know your steering wheel , why does it look like its been kind of melted, my mum has got your car in an estate and she has the same problem on it? feels bit weird to hold , iv started driving it now.

really nice car though :clapping:

Cheers guys.

Apparently the steering wheel thing is a common 'fault'. I got told that the wheel is treated with some kind of plastic coating which melts in the sun. Feels wierd at first, but you soon get used to it

Went down to the East Mids meet at the weekend. Good bunch of lads and lasses there. There are several photo threads kicking about so I robbed the best shots of my car :D

Hope no one minds. Many thanks to those that took them.

Now i am sure we could get a rotrex squeezed in there for a little more poke ;)

Haha Andy why have you got a picture of me in your thread lmao. Very nice car, was a good day on Sunday mate :y:
