Ford Focus styling help

Not really a focus but I'm fitting these to my "Baby" Focus at the weekend.

Got them for £80 with Vospers staff discount. My cousin is a legend.

Tempted to take them back and get the Diesel ones as they lower more.

Fitted a strut brace yesterday, very simple and makes the car feel a hell of a lot better. If you haven't got a brace yet Tom, i recommend it!

Cool, thats my next mod along with some 17" alloys. £80 isnt bad at all, are you using them with the stock dampers?

Yep, was going to go get some Weitec dampers with springs but for £480 i didn't feel it was worth it. I mainly want the handling. The wheels fitting snugly into the arches is a nice bonus! Get some O.Z Superturismo's on her! :p

I think i may get some Eibach Pro-Spacers for my rear wheels as they aren't as wide as the front wheels and it looks odd, to me anyway! My cousin doesnt notice it.

Interesting, may have to check that out. Wait till you get those on the car will feel much better for it.
 
Strut braces aren't really needed for the Focus as the bulkhead is very rigid anyway and the struts don't flex much. People mainly fit them on Foci for looks! :)

I got some of those Mintex brakes and pads the other month Mark.. They are so much better than the standard ones! :)
 
While I'm posting here might as well stick up some pics of my interior now its done..

Have colour coded the dash surround and air vents to match the colour of my fascia, have also fitted my shiny new ST half leather seats! :D

Thats good to hear, cant wait to fit them :). That steering wheel looks smart, i really want one but they're a bit too pricey. I'll keep checking ebay tho.

new rims planned for it?

other than that, very smart.

is the A3 down the road modified at all?

Cheers :), I'm pleased with it, Ive polished and waxed it since that picture and its now looking very shiney. Well it was until it was covered in dust again.

I'm considering new wheels and getting it lowered but it all depends if i can get some decent condition rims cheap. I dont want to spend loads of money on it really.

Not sure about the A3, its the first time Ive seen it there, theres usually 3 black cars parked up but i thought 4 black cars was worth a picture.

Awwww, but they look so cool! :p

I'm not sure if the Mk6 Fiesta is the same though. May help but probably doesnt...
