Just going off what I've heard a few times at FFOC. I fancy getting the ST Grill next.

Is that the stainless steel grill?, looks awesome that but pretty expensive :eek:

EDIT: Whoops didnt notice the link

.

Next 2 mods on the list are the Ford exhaust cover and the 206 rear wiper.

That looks much better then the zetec one! Plus the zetec one is prone to warping, like my stone guard has.

Quite tempted myself!

Looks similar to my lower grill.

Ben

I have had my friend Photoshop the ST Grill on for me

Here's how it will look (This is my car)

Quite an improvement tbh.

I've got that one on mine.. Nice cheap easy mod and looks so much better than the standard lower grill!

I'll get some photos of it one day when its dry and sunny out and my cars clean..

How easy is the old grill to take off, do I need the car lifted up to get to the clips at the back, or is it just a quick snap off snap in?.

Street · 14 Jan 2008 at 20:04

Very easy.. I did it myself in about 5mins. Might need a screwdriver and maybe a pair of pliers to help grip and pull the old one out. The new one just pushes straight in!

I'll get one of these bought asap then.

I fancy a nice lower ST grill too, would much rather have upper and lower stainless

ARGH Tom! Stop spending money on the Focus and get yourself a different car!! :mad:

Tom|Nbk · 14 Jan 2008 at 20:30

I prefer the black grills to the stainless.

The grill is £20. Hardly breaking the bank

Looks like im keeping the car another year the way things are going.

DevilsAdvocate · 14 Jan 2008 at 20:33

What about those ST wheels you were looking at getting?

Tom|Nbk · 14 Jan 2008 at 20:35

I didn't get them.

DevilsAdvocate · 14 Jan 2008 at 20:36

Probably just as well, you'd have regretted it i'm sure

Pfft.. Thats half the fun! With a new car you'd only end up buying more parts for it. I hate having a standard car.. Like it to be unique to me!

These are the new wheels I got over the weekend after killing one of my old ones..

17" OZ Superts with Proxes4 on them..

Nice wheels! If you do go for 17"s makes sure you get at least a 30mm drop as it will look like a 4x4 , mine did

. That Grill makes so much difference Tom, almost as effective as the clear side repeaters!

Mark A · 14 Jan 2008 at 22:47

Nice wheels Street, in fact i like them better then your old ones. How much did they set you back if you don't mind me asking?.

Already done.. Used to have 18s on before these!

Yeh I quite like them now, they drive a lot better than my old ones too! They set me back £500 off a guy on the Focus forums, they've just been refurbed, powder coated and 4 brand new tyres on.

I'll get a photo with them on tomorrow at some point.

Just bought an A+ condition ST170 grill off Ebay for £15 so I'm rather happy, nice little effective mod cheap as chips
