ST and ZetecS rear spoiler are the same Aswell as the side skirts ST and ZetecS are the same but the side skirts differ between 3 and 5 door Good luck :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yes i know that. The only body kit i can find is from poland for some reason -.-I've had a look there myself and strangely enough,There's nothing breaking on there at the moment, these parts are very sought after, I give up on being outbid and bough from ford directly, Here's the rear spoiler from ford anyways, . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Genuine-Ford-Focus-ST-Large-Single-Wing-Rear-Spoiler-2005-1689072-/310787747947?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item485c64b06b If you contact nationalcarclearance they can supply you the full kit aswell as latest pricing.

eliaskok Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 i have contacted Ford and they quoted me for £1285.99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 i have contacted Ford and they quoted me for £1285.99I presume that's including spraying because I bought all the parts for around 1,000pounds excluding shipping,Still that's a good price to spray and fit aswell, Did they give you a list of parts for the price? The zetecS spec exterior parts, Rear diffuser, 250-300 Rear spoiler, 150-200 Side skirts, 300-350 Front splitter, 250-300 Front upper grill 50-100 Front lower grill, 100-150 Side fender S and boot panel badges 15-25 each For all that new from ford without fitting your talking around 1200-1400 ROM wasn't built in a day though, And this discussion is making me sick t think of what ive spent personally.
