Ford Focus styling help

I don't think the bump strips look out of place tbh, in fact they tie in nicely with the rest of the black bits imo.
 
Does anyone else have a Focus with a light grey interior? All the others Ive seen are black inside, mine appears to be the only one in grey. Not that I mind, makes it feel very light inside the car.

Mines a sort of black/ dark grey colour with a silver instrument panel? in the middle. Ive seen the light grey colour dash on an LX i looked at when i was first looking for a car and it looked pretty decent.

The only thing that ruins the look of my interior is the steering wheel. It looks like someone cleaned it with a harsh cleaning product and its worn the coating off. At first i thought it was worn with usage but the seats are still really firm and the fabric is perfect.

That RS wheel might look a bit out of place in a normal 5 door focus though. I might keep my eye out for a second hand good condition wheel on ebay.
 
No, mines grey with a black radio panel.

I need to find some way of giving my steering wheel a clean that wont render it useless. I tried using just a damp cloth last time, but I think it must have had some soap residues on it or something....wheel went all slippery for a while after I cleaned it :/
 
i think the handles and the bump strips are too much on a bright colour - just the bump strips is good. on darker colours it's your call, and if it's dark grey like mine, neither needs doing really.
 
Ha, I decided to spray my fascia to match the exterior colour of my car:

Never posted them here as I felt I'd get flamed for it /shrugs

Don't have a pic of it actually fitted uploaded though :)

Wow, that looks great, was it hard to remove?. I very much doubt you would get flamed for posting a mod like that, its subtle and fits in with the car IMO.
 
Wasn't too difficult to remove tbh - although most the connectors require a very small flat-headed screwdriver. Nearly took a few chunks out of my fingers... :p

Uploaded a pic:

Awful camera phone makes it look quite a bit redder than it actually is, but the earlier pics give you a decent colour comparrison :) I also did the stereo shroud, but forgot to put it in place for the picture. Plan on taking it out at some point and filling the gaps on the shroud/fascia to give it a smooth finish :)
 
Looks good mate!

I found the hardest bit was fitting it back!

But I have next to 0 patience :D :p .

I P30'ed or whateva mine :D .
 
Fitting it back was easy... Until I was putting in the shroud... Pushing harder... proper hard... snap. ****! One of the little clips fell off! Fortunutely, the headunit fits in real snug, so keeps it in place perfectly...
 
Cool :D .

Did you find anything behind it?

When I done mine I found a very old 5 pound note and various receipts hiding in there :D
 
This thread is giving me loads of ideas :D. Deffo going to have a go at this, or i might even try flocking it.

Just a small Albanian family - shoo'd them off without a problem though :)

I did however nearly lose a screw down there - thank God for magnetic screwdrivers!

What d'ya mean by flocking it? I'm clearly not street enough, y0!

:D, I think there was a thread on here a while ago where someone flocked some dash parts, looked pretty good. Its like a powder that you sprinkle on a thin layer of glue and it looks a bit like suede.
 
Ha, took the plunge and bought the clear side repeaters and chrome 'zorst trim this morning.... Time will tell if it was worth it :p
 
Another little styling mod I suggest you Focus guys do is to fit the Peugeot 206 wiper, I got mine delivered today (Thanks DannyW) and fitted it really impressed with how it looks, getting the old wiper off was a bitch, it was as tight on as a nuns and required a hell of a tug to remove (Oh err).
