salsheikh Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Im in rotherham ill give it a search see what turns up cheers so far i have found the following: http://www.exhaustsuk.com http://www.longlife.co.uk/dealer-locator/ good luck! the clips are tricky - like Charlie says use a screwdriver but if they ping out and you lose them then double side mirror tape helps fix them in place (i put it on the outside of the deflector so it sticks to the inside of the window rubber) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 How exactly have you fitted them atm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeWizzy Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 they are just held in with its normal fits and the stick tape on them atm as when i were fitting the clips they just fell out whenever the window was down, obviously i must have been fitting the clips wrong if they do work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeWizzy Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 i was wanting to do that but didnt have a clue on the way to go abaht it tbh would they need to be taken off and sprayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 A wide bladed screwdriver is ideal for pushing the clips up, firm pressure is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeWizzy Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 does anybody have a picture on the placement of the clips, when i tried fitting them before the clip base seems way to wide to fit in the ...(im not sure what its called) door seal?

Stoney871 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 They need to be tight to grip properly. You will get resistance as the clip notches into the window channel but keep pushing and they will pop in ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos-83 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi, first post. I've just fitted the heko deflectors, as others have said they take some pushing to go in. I couldn't use a flat bladed screw-driver as the clip kept falling off, so instead opted for the window scraper I had in the boot. The clips fitted on this snug and been wider than the screw-driver didn't fall off. Just pushed them (with force) and they popped into place. Mine also came with tape so after removing this and fitting the clips I kept the windows up to help with the pressure to stick to the window frame/seal. Hope this helps. Nice looking focus too by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Good tip. I personally use a Bojo tool but exactly the same principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Gonna need a full fitting kit ideally dude so new cage, patch lead, aerial adaptor and stalk controls adaptor so talking about another 50quid ish Shoulda had my pioneer off me mate for an extra 100 as it has all the fitting kit ready to go and slightly more features like dab. Sound quality be better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeWizzy Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Argh well ill have to get that sorted then, and i were looking at the pioneer ones but i didnt like the look of the interfaces for when using it just seemed abit allover the place. Might just take it somewhere to fit it for me and then i can get new Speakers and a custom sub fitted then aswell :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeWizzy Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 looked into having my headunit fitted, all Speakers being replaced plus sub install by an ICE specialist, this did not go how i planned at all seen as they quoted £180 just for fitting the headunit, Anybody know any places close to rotherham area that will have a more reasonable price or anyone from here that could be of service. Speakers, Sub and amps still need to be purchased any suggestions for these are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salsheikh Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 £180 for fitting a stereo? thats silly money it isnt that difficult to do yourself - you'll learn how to do it yourself through trial and error and this will help you in the future too. i've just installed a double din android hu into my car and used this fascia/trim to hold the hu in place - better than a cage which stayed loose http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350586400285?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT%C2%A0&clk_rvr_id=849945849992&rmvSB=true wiring loom http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC99-X50-FORD-FOCUS-2003-2011-STEERING-STALK-CONTROL-ADAPTOR-PATCH-LEAD-/181004195680?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item2a24b0d760%C2%A0&clk_rvr_id=849932799530&rmvSB=true take the r/h vent out so that it gives you access to move the wires out the way when it comes to installing the hu in place. the Speakers will need to have the rivets drilled out and you need to use 6.5" speaker adapters to mount the new Speakers, again an easy enough job. Sump/amp wiring is a bit different but again not complicated, experience in a little bit of wiring helps. Do not of your mates not know how to install hu/speakers? you can always ask your local mechanic to install it as they should know a little about ICE and how to install it. shame you are not nearer as i could have helped you out.

TeeWizzy Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah that's what i thought myself ,i only paid £150 for the unit itself ill have to have a look at some tutorials or something might have a clue then :,) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.beesley Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Nearly finished my mini boot build for my sub and amp enclosure - picture of you want any ideas. Sub: http://www.soundevo.co.uk/jl-audio-10w0v3-4-10-w0-subwoofer.html Enclosure: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=360623710681&globalID=EBAY-GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeWizzy Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Thats exactly what im tryna achieve:,) need some idea on the products needed and specs like does the resistance matter and stuff:,) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.beesley Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 the set up I'm running at the moment is simple and sounds good I would reccomend the sub and enclosure. Get yourself an amplifier and a descent set of front component Speakers - amplifying the front Speakers paired with a sub sounds amazing. Specs always depend on what sub, amp and Speakers you are going for, also budget and how you want it to sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
