Focus ST170 Alloys fitted with 4 brand new Eagle F1's

Not sure about lowering it tbh, I like how it is personally. This is more than likely the last mod I'm doing to it .

Looks nicer, just be sure to look after them, the ST170 wheels peel like hell, im looking into swapping the standard wheels on my ST170 for the 19" off the RS

I know I said the alloys would be the last mod but I thought I should complete the look and bought these today from someone at FFOC.

Got them for a bargaintatious £50 they come with the housing and wiring so plug and play. He even threw in some Zetec foglights which I should be able to sell on ebay for a pretty penny

Just got back from picking this lot up from Leeds. 140 Mile round trip but worth it!

I like what you've done to your focus tom, can I just ask where you got the ST alloys from? Did you get them from Ebay?

Is it worth the membership costs?

Don't know if I'm going to start upgrading my focus or not. I fear that if I start small, it could spiral out of control and become addictive

Thanks man, your car looks sweeeeeet!

Last visible mod honest!

No, you need to colour code yet

Much better

You'll be getting tinted rears next

I just need my stage 2 cams to get here then I'm set for summer! Manifold should be going on next weekend, if it gets delayed again I'll fit it myself

140 mile round trip to pick up some fog lights, you nutcase. Whats wrong with payinga fiver to get them posted

peterattheboro · 16 Mar 2008 at 16:56

Tom, why don't you just buy an ST170?

Granted, it looks cool but it's not as quick

Mark A · 16 Mar 2008 at 17:13

Maybe the insurance as hes 18.

Looking good Tom.

They were a bargain, if I didn't go and get them someone else would have.

I don't fancy paying 4k for insurance

Prob keeping the 1.6 for a fair while yet and maybe get an RS when I'm 20/21

Good lad

.

I was thinking of doing the same myself!

But now I have kind of dedicated myself with my current one....But who knows, things may very well change tomorrow

.

So how much did it cost you on petrol to get there and back fro the fogs?

Ben.

Mark A · 16 Mar 2008 at 18:33

Think I'll be doing the same, I'll keep this for 2 years and build a couple of no claims bonuses up then get something faster. Either an RS as i do like the Focus, or an Integra as Ive always liked these :cool:

About £15 maybe a bit more, I did cane it

. Even with petrol costs the fogs are still a bargain

how about getting the st170 spoiler tom its easy to fit costs about £70 though

my old tdci will full colour coding

bah.. moved on to bigger and better things now

i dont 'get' cosmetic mods, but that focus does look like an ST170 apart from the rideheight thats a glaring give away

i dont understand the effort/cost of cosmetic mods as what do you gain?
