It's just not an optional extra. Have no idea why. Ford said would be a £1700 job to it as a dealership extra. Absolutely crazy.

Weird, it was available when I bought mine. Seems a lot for the street pack even broken down into parts, probably some elaborate labour costs, you could probably buy the parts for a lot less and fit yourself if you know how.

Hasn't been available since March 2010 when the new 95PS engine with DPF came out. I believe the reason was something to do with emissions.Why can't you get the Street pack for a diesel?
If you were to buy the streetpack yourself you'd be looking at £1,000 (4 x £150 = £600 for alloys, then 4 x £100 = £400 for tyres)

I hadn't forgot, just missed the word 'alloys' from my postdont forget about the privacy glass - which is also part of the street pack
The dealer trying to charge £700 for tints, they're having a laugh! Mine were £60.

Not sure smashing the window's is worth the insurance increase if honest, surely the glass isn't that expensive anyway?

£70 excess and you get proper privacy glass, not film tints
This was a tongue in cheek remark, I wouldn't really do it - although I have no qualms against people who do, do it - insurance is a massive scam.

I beg to differ, a simple remap or tuning box will increase the diesel bhp by 25% whilst maintaining a lot more torque than the petrol. Boosting a petrol by 25% would take a lot of dollarPetrol 120 is the best!! .. Yeah the diesel is a great car. But the petrol one is more fun.and you can tune it better,

Diesel engines respond to tuning far better than petrol ones.
