Add in some nice ST170 bits is a good place to start and sometime these can be relatively cheap if you keep your eyes open. ST170 clear side repeaters look cool, are easy to fit and don't cost the earth. Also ST170 pedals fit any manual Focus and don't cost that much if you get lucky on eBay. Upgrade your headlight bulbs, change your interior, change your wheels there's loads to do just depends on what sort of mods you want and how much you want to spend :D Be careful though, once you start modding it can be highly addictive!

jeebowhite Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 start with subtle things - footwell lighting amongst other things, DMB gel overlays to tidy the badges up if necessary, then it really depends what you want to mod, cosmetics? functionality?

The accelerator also bolts on really easily. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FOCUS-CLEAR-SIDE-REPEATOR-LAMPS-/180617471575?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a0da3e657 Such a simple but effective mod http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FOCUS-ST170-5-DOOR-INTERIOR-DOOR-HANDLES-/271134862392?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f20e5ac38 See what you think of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-ST170-Half-Leather-Interior-3dr-5dr-/131016027822?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e8129eeae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msajohnson94 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 go with ST/RS wont go after market not to keen with the after market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 go with ST/RS wont go after market not to keen with the after market Your best bet will probably be ST170 17" multi spokes then. Keep an eye out on eBay and try and pick up a bargain set with tyres :) They're lovely wheels I had them on my old MK1. Bit of a pain to clean though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msajohnson94 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 ive seen them and they are nice wheels aint most alloys a pain to clean though. there mods on the engine do you think would be good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 ive seen them and they are nice wheels aint most alloys a pain to clean though Can be but multi spoked tend to be the worst.

jamesm182 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 A nice induction kit always looks good and replaces the standard air box or if it's just colour you're after a nice place to start on the MK1 would be a nice set of uprated ignition leads in blue or similar.
