i have noticed the blck parts on the outside of the door next to the window are fading with white patches does anyone know how to restore this?

Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care. I bought mine for exactly this problem.
Works perfectly and unlike Back to Black is long lasting...also good for those annoying rubber squeaks too.
Don't know if the promotion is still on, but Halfrauds had a two for one offer on chemical car care products.
I bought one of these plus an Autoglym Fast Glass for free.
There are a lot of products that are advertised for this particular problem, but this one is the most reasonably priced.

ok excellent thanks for that mate cheers, just looks tatty when this starts to happen. thats a nice motor you've got

i noticed today that ford do them in chrome now there in the latest acsseories book , take a look you might like them

No they don't.........
The Focus Zetec S is also available in the 2.0 tdci, and the 1.8 petrol engine ( like mine ) but you have to look for them.......
When I bought mine, at the time it was the only one for sale in the Country, with the 1.8 petrol engine, 18" alloys, and privacy glass......as well as the full body kit.

your cars well minted mate much did that set u bk if u dont mind me askin?

I bought some of this today. £6.50 for a bottle that will last you ages and it wipes the floor with any back to black/bumper and trim restorer product ive ever used. Just sprayed it onto a cloth and rubbed it in and the trim looks as good as new.

Used it on the Window and door seals, Front and rear wiper arms, All the door trim and the black plastic side skirt.

Very good product.
