Lenny Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Mine is 145mm wide, 56mm high But please note that my Mk2 Focus is a pre-facelift model. thanks for the quick reply mate, i think it may be 145mm wide and 60mm high on my original which is much the same as yours, close enough to your spec mate thanks for measuring it for me B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulB1803 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Blimey mate, mangled is an understatement!! Looks like you have a measurement now so at least I don't need to brave the wind and rain outside lol. my rear badge has some white glue stuff around the edges and I was considering removing it to clean it up, or replace it but you've put me off now lol.

Pitmonster Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 On a related note, I'm thinking of replacing the TDCi badge on the rear of my Focus - the laquer is all chipped and missing, and the red letters are faded. Replacements are cheap on eBay, but when I remove the original I expect to leave a load of sticky residue behind on the tailgate. What's the best way to remove this residue without damaging the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
