My New Car

Princey · 7 Aug 2006 at 20:27

I've always wanted a Focus, after learning to drive in one with the AA I fell it love it. I was also getting sick of the ongoing problems of my Rover 400. So I saw this at Bristol Street Motors in Birmingham. Gave them my rover as a deposit and drove away 2 days later.

Its an '02' 1.6 Zetec Climate with 40000miles all for £4500.

Congrats on your new ride. Enjoy it, very nice cars

I'm thinking about getting the ST170 lights and maybe the wheels to. Any thoughts on this?

Why, its not an ST170

We have an 04 plate in a limited edition silver colour (not sure on the exact name). Nice cars, hope it serves you well

Yeah but I really like the darker ST lights.

If you want it go for it, just dont get upset if you ask people what they think and they dont like it though.

But as long as you are happy with them who cares right?

I know but I just wanted to know what peoples opinions on it were.

If everyone said it was a crap idea would it stop you doing it even though you really want to put them on?

If you are willing to pay for it then go for it.

I can't remember if the orange part is still there on the ST170 lights, if so buy a clear cover for it and swap te bulb to the silver bulbs the flash amber. Looks nicer then. Then also get clears for the indicators, can get them off the Focus RS or mk3 Mondeo's.

No it wouldn't stop me, but as I said I just wanted to know what people thought about it.

Im lazy, as are most people. Find some pics, then youll get some opinions.

Look like an improvement to me, and I wouldnt think you were pretending to have a superior model, just making yours look better. Definite thimbs up.

Nice car, and nice price. You NEED some clear side-repeaters though!

TripleT · 7 Aug 2006 at 21:20

Nice, can't fault it for a first car

I wouldn't bother with the lights, don't offer that much of an improvement for the price
