Focus body kits?

MoNkeE · 17 Oct 2007 at 12:47

Hey all,

I'm toying with the idea at the moment of getting a body kit for the Focus - what do people think are the best to go for? I'm not after anything over the top (shopping trolley spoiler), and I'm under the impression that an ST body kit would just make me look like a wannabe-hot-hatch-owner (opinions?

)...

Also, what are the best sites to look at?

Cheers,

The only one that appeals to me is the EGR kit, ESP do them if I remember rightly, the rieger front bumper is also quite nice

Dont do it..! just leave it as Mr Ford intended

Save the cash you would spend on body kit/respray, sell your 1.6 and buy an ST?

Body kit + engine = win?

Thanks, if only I could have squeezed Seisure Man on there too.

Cheers for the suggestions guys, I'll look in to it! What sort of price should I be looking at for the entire set? I've seen places selling kits for £500-ish including spraying (not fitting), although the kits weren't that nice.

Nice rims, the only positive i can really take from it.

If Tony the Tiger was real and could drive, he totally wouldn't drive that.

I mean c'mon, would you drive around with a picture of your face on the bodywork?

Another vote for the EGR kit, as its fairly subtle compared to the others. I found it best to get it from them direct, as they get it painted up by Ford for a good price.

Go OEM or dont bother is my opinion, unless it happens to be a high quality kit synonymous with a certain model of car (which generally cost a lot).

The EGR kit is too subtle to be worth bothering with. The rieger kit looks ok at a glance, but fairly nasty if you look at it properly IMO.

I'd go for ST parts, and possibly some facelift parts if yours is an older model. If this is too expensive in relation to the car's value, I wouldnt bother.

Not bad, but not worth spending £100s IMO.

TBH the best kit out there for the Focus is Fords own body kit for the Focus... the Collection body kit (both bumpers and skirts) but it is rather pricey... mind you it actually fits spot on and is top quality

Also the rieger focus front bumper is nice but the rest of the kit is awful
