dogrosie Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hey all. I am new to the forums. Ever since I passed my test I have had a Micra, which I kept for 6.5 years as it was simply fantastic whilst I was doing my udnergraduate as it never broke. However it is time for an upgrade and this week I am buying my dad's Focus off him as it is in very good nick. The car is: Focus 2007 57 reg 2.0 TDCI Ghia 77,000 miles Euro 4 diesel - No DPF :) Sea grey Wheels need a refurb as they have that 'white rust' effect on them where water has got under the paintwork. The price was £4000 as that is what Motorpoint offered him on trade in towards his new Focus! I live in Loughborough as my postgraduate is at the University there. I am looking for somewhere to get the wheels refurbed and also for any potential mods I can do to the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogrosie Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks :) My plans for the car are: 1) Refurb the wheels. They aren't kerbed but the paint and centre caps look a mess. I won't do this right away as with my old car I didn't worry about the wheels (they were just old wheel trims) and I need to learn to be more aware of wheels hitting kerbs. 2) A remap. Not saying I will, but I will look into it 3) Perhaps spray the front fog light surrounds to make the car look a bit smarter 4) The car is a Ghia trim so has a horrible wood effect around the stereo which would look far better in brushed aluminium I forgot to mention in the first post, the car is a pre-facelift.

Preee Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Pull the trim off and vinyl rap it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogrosie Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Might even add a sat nav stereo. I haven't looked into it though and the Ford one has quite a small screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
