Mate,
About those polished alloys, I know of a focus owner on another site who purchased a set of the snow flake ones and had them fitted for 6 months over the winter months, I'll get some pics for you, the results of road salt and freezing conditions blisterd the chrome coating resulting in them looking like a broken mirror.
I'll search for the thread on another forum now and bring the pics to here for you to see.

polished alloys are useless in the uk fine in america where its warm and no salt but the salt on road crap will tear those alloys to bits

I no there a company out there where you can buy the ford overlay but custom ones which you can design yourself on the website with differnt colour or writing on the badge, does anyone no the name of the company i cant seem to remember the name.
