Stoney871 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Along with my numberplate surrounds I have now got a set of new plates so no drill holes will be left also a set of MIchelin Stealth front wipers as the Ford ones wear out too quickly and smear like beggars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old George Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 It must be the geriatric boy racer in me, i've ordered some LED Bulbs to replace the interior lights and map lights. I wonder if they'll make the car faster? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 That, or the previous owner was a stingy student who only topped up with 5 quid worth of fuel each time! :PYou know... when I think back to the day I met the seller and bought the car... your assumption fits the character quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Bought my Ford some Bosch wipers ( Highly recommended ), Autoglym auto refresh for the inside and some (purple) screen wash - not scented haha I recommended everyone to purchase and fit there own wipers,Its so easy and over 20 pounds cheaper than getting ford to do it at service, I've created a guide for fitting. Click on my aviator picture to view my list of guides I saw ready mixed purple in Halfords last week and it does look impressive withstanding to -13 but I have just fitted some blue washer hose and fittings so I was forced to choose the blue stuff and hope I doesn't freeze below -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 just spent about £60 on autoglym and £15 on some new megz polish to try :D ...just getting a few other bits when im bored though!! :P 60 pounds! Your crazy mate, I admire your attention to detail though, Look forward to seeing some pictures of the results, that a lot of hard earned spent on protecting the Shell Along with my numberplate surrounds I have now got a set of new plates so no drill holes will be left also a set of MIchelin Stealth front wipers as the Ford ones wear out too quickly and smear like beggars. ive recently saw the Michelin stealth wipers on eBay, how would you rate them compared to bosh ? Are the michelin worth the extra spend? And i like the idea of no number plate screws visible but id be afraid som beggar would steal my reg plate from the holder. It must be the geriatric boy racer in me, i've ordered some LED bulbs to replace the interior lights and map lights. I wonder if they'll make the car faster? they surley will mate, and when your crusing through town on a saturday night in convoy with your saxo and corsa mates, the high street honeys walking the street will be able to admire your burberry baseball cap resting on your head at 45 degrees due to the excellent 6000kelven light being emitted from your upgrade LED Bulbs. On a more serious note though, they are a great upgrade, I also recommend fitting a 3 light unit from the front in to the rear surround, gives the rear passengers map lights aswell and is a straight swap. Iv also bought a new Facia plate and wiring harmed for my pioneer single din car radio ImageUploadedByFord OC1387329084.639254.jpgSent from my iPhone 5 nice stereo upgrade,Pioneer are a great manufacturer of car audio, If got the 2006 model of that stereo in my levin, looks much the same but I've no got the USB port and mine lights up red, great sound and I'm sure they have only gotten better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldoo Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 crazy for £60 of autoglym? ..the bad thing is that it really isn't that much! Plus I get a good price because my mates a dealer :D I hadn't thought to put any pictures on until you said there! but yes, i'll get a load of pics on and share the products that I use/recommend :D ..not much to look at at the moment though. its filthy! but its still got a good double layer of wax on to protect it - as long as its protected then the shine can come later! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just to be nosey, which mod would that be? The cutting out of the non honeycomb bit in the Zetec S grille and replacing it with the honeycomb section of the ST grille... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLORYFOCUS Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sounds tricky! Can you not just put an ST grille on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nope. It's a different shape! It will be tricky but worth it if I can pull it off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nope. It's a different shape! It will be tricky but worth it if I can pull it off!! Yes the ST grille is smaller but with a thicker trim.It has been done before, someone on a forum I used to be on spotted a car with this mod and said it looked very good. Fiddly but doable. I find the stealth blades excellent, no smearing and a good wipe even in heavy rain. The plate holders I have aren't lockable but it's not obvious how the plates clip in. I thought of lockable ones but have heard the locking keys break too easily and tbh if someone wants your plates then a bit of plastic wouldn't stop them anyway.

FLORYFOCUS Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Nope. It's a different shape! It will be tricky but worth it if I can pull it off!! Have you not done a guide stating its a direct replacement? http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/39213-how-to-fit-new-front-upper-grille-on-mk25-focus/ I am sooooo confused!! I was planning on fitting the st bumper on Friday. Will I now need a new upper grille??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLORYFOCUS Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Are you referring to the lower grille within the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The upper grille is definitely smaller on the MK2, the bumper trim around the grille is thicker. As for the MK2.5 I'm not sure, if you do find you need one it's Finis 1538478 and about £28. The ST lower grille is Finis 1523848 and about £85 just in case you haven't got one.

Hyrule Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 How funny you guys are mentioning screen wash, mine is empty lol. It's payday today, and I am resisting the urge to splurge on eBay anymore. But so far I've bought what I need for: Dual Reverse (should arrive today) Some LED strips (not sure what I'm planning to do with these today). The other half has bought me some Diamond Vision bulbs for xmas, I love my nightbreaker +'s but I'd like the dipped beams to match the white sidelights Rear footwells. I am a click away from Sports lower grille Rubber mats LED Rear badge Must resist :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
