Dan P Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Just wanted to see what people's thoughts were about this: My Panther Black Focus with Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 in Gloss Black 17" ? Yay or Nay for Black wheels on a black car? I know, it's only ones opinion but I am torn right now as there is a set going for within budget but I was hoping to get it in Anthracite rather. I generally really like black wheels and think they'd look good, however, I think the anthracite may look better on a black car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you on that. Given the price difference of €150 euro between the 2 colours after including shipping, it's a really tempting deal to just get the black, see how it is and further down the line if it needs a refurb, to change the colour then :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassen Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 battery upgraded to Bosch S4 as recommended by Lenny. So far, no issues and cold starts much smoother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered a Bosch S4 as well for herself. Arrived today and fitting it tomorrow. Eurocar Parts had their usual 30% off and with cheap £3.95 for such a heavy item to Ireland, it was a no brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great at that price, Very difficult to get a battery shipped via courier even if its only across the country as there classed as chemical transportation 😒😧 #DamnYouDGSA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Agreed. This is the first online retailer that had no issues shipping a battery and it was very well packaged as well. Fitted it today within 25min or so as I had to Youtube how to change it for her car specifically. All good and no issues to be reported :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to see you selling Hassan, If I was you id be keeping the focus and selling the Leon as you have invested quite a bit in to it and the focus is an economical car but I'm sure you have evaluated all the options before leading to this point. It's definitely priced to sell, If the weather is good today perhaps take it to a scenec area such as Marley park for some selling photos as I know your good with the camera 📷 Interested to see replacement 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 What a coincidence Hassen as my car is now back to standard and being replaced for the very same reason. You have the fun of getting your car back to standard or is the kit you fitted staying with the car? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's after a long debate with myself that I decided to sell the car, very reluctantly. I am driving a lot less than before, less than 150km/week as compared to 1500km/week now since I moved jobs to Wicklow. The mileage on the car is quite high compared to others on sale here and for that reason as well, I priced it keenly. Got pictures taken the other day after a good wash and put it up on Done Deal. All going well, by the end of this coming week I should have the replacement car. It's something older, petrol and very fast ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the fun of getting your car back to standard or is the kit you fitted staying with the car? I actually haven't taken out the sound equipment and hoping to get it all off during the week. All the standard equipment should go back in and Speakers will be replaced with Vibe aftermarket ones in the front as I hacked away the stock Fords. Not really looking forward to doing the reverse process to be honest but it needs to be done. What car you getting btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hi Hassen. I'll post very soon what car I'm getting. I travelled to Oldham to get my car back to standard as they put my gear in. I'm suprised how damn good my focus sounds but mind you they put the Boom mats in that were in the box by mistake. They'll be coming out to go into my new car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed just to get the rear door Speakers back hooked up to the stock wires as I was running them on the amp. Fairly straight forward process. Tomorrow, I will get my Focal Speakers out of the fronts to be replaced by Vibe 6 Slick component Speakers that I had before. Time allowing, and weather permitting as this is Ireland after all, I will also get the subwoofer, amps and wiring out of the car then. The last thing to go out will be the headunit as I need the car working till Friday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 This afternoon after about 3hr of work, the car sound system is back to stock configuration. The guy is coming tomorrow morning to do the paperwork and pick her up. Part of me is sad to see her go but the other part knows it's the right time to move on. In the afternoon travelling to Galway to get my new to me car! Should be home in the evening and might put some pictures up then :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
