Sneakkk Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hello All, Had my focus just over 4weeks now and was wondering what little mods / tweaks you can do to make it look a little smarter? Air filter? Aero wipers? Any information would be awesome! Came from VAG so apoligise! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassen Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The one resource you need is Lenny's plague of mods...errr, I mean Lenny's page. Damn page cost me money every time I have a look at it :PIn all seriousness, Lenny has a good few guides and that will get you started nicely. What type of engine do you have, petrol or diesel? One of my favourite mods which was the most fun was getting a tuning box for the car. A remap would do the same and I think it will definitely make the car a lot more fun to drive, if it's a diesel or a turbocharged petrol :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC The stock 1.8 TDCI has a 10.0 to 10.8 sec 0-60 - 8 sec may be a bit quick/ a big improvement for just adding a Bluefin and it probably won't be as quick as that - further mods may be required to get it down to 8 -secs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's a statistic to be proud of in a diesel hatchback lol. 2005 1.8tdci 2005 fiesta ST 2014 focus 2.0 138bhp tdci 2014 focus 2.0 161bhp tdci 50-70 mph in fifth gear 9.6 8.2 7.3 6.8 Bare in mind that the 2014 focus weighs almost 100kg more than the mk2 focus,yet the 161bhp would have the same/similar torque to a bluefinned 2005 1.8tdci. Facts for you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily done or a pain? Wind deflectors? Light brows? Debadged? All easy done are these? Thanks for all help guys / girls!

All easy done are these? Thanks for all help guys / girls! Painting callipers is easy. Either hand paint them or if spraying you can remove the callipers or just mask up very very well. I done the later. Debadged is always a nice simple mod. Just use some fishing line behind the badge and use a sawing motion. Wind deflectors I have never fitted not my sort of thing. Same as the lightbrows. On dmb website they do a film to get the brows.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app 3M (which is the company) is generally the best quality vinyl wrap,i bought some 4d stuff from eBay and it looks good enough to me.i bought a 1.5x3m roll and i done my spoiler twice,steering wheel trims,radio trim gear trim few other things,still got a load of it left and that cost me £50. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-4D-Carbon-Fibre-Vinyl-Wrap-Sticker-Sheet-Film-Looks-Real-Carbon-Fibre-/321068320935?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item4ac129c8a7 thats the person i bought it from,but have a look around you might come across better.

Stoney871 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 There are a fair few ready-wrapped radio fascias on eBay to fit your car. Nice touch as the original fascias always looked a bit bland IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
