loving the look of the out side very stealth looking. loving the recaro front seats what a nice upgrade. can I ask if they where hard to put in and how long did it take?

Cheers mate!! Swapping the seats is 1 of the easiest upgrades to do. Disconnet the battery for 10mins prior to starting so you dont get an airbag fault light on the dash, then it's literally undoing 4 torx bolts, disconnecting the wiring and lifting them out, that's the hardest part cos you need to be careful not to scratch plastic trim or even worse...the paint, especially drivers side with steering wheel in the way, took 20mins max to swap fronts, back seat was a bit more of a pain (see my earlier post). Only other thing to mention is that unless you already have the heated seats you will need switches etc to get them to work, or just use them without the heaters. They really make a difference and can be adjusted much more than standard seats so you get the sporty feel. Main thing for me though is they're wipe clean so no worries about spills etc

Wasn't keen on the front and rear badges with fly eye wrap so got some gel badges instead, carbon background with red logo's20161020_175012.jpg20161020_175114.jpg20161020_174638.jpg

20161109_122433.jpgSwapped the dash top storage pocket for the ST gauge pod, I know I won't be able to get them working but it's just for effect at the moment as they look better than the cubby hole.

Am looking into getting something mounted in there instead of the factory clocks at some point, maybe a touch screen sat nav if I can find one to fit

Some members here have fitted mobile phones with the torque pro app installed and IIRC someone once fitted a ScanGauge module.

Looks very good .its hard to get multiplug for this otherwise you could just illumenate it . I once fitted st170 pods in my mk1.5 2.0 esp .bought it with loom already made. It was show purpose only.

Nice 1, cheers pal, will bear that in mind, got your message about parts for sale, not got any at the moment but I'm thinking of changing the alloys so mine may be up for sale soon.....if I don't swap for another set

Changed the wheels for the new year, set of Mondeo Titanium 18's instead of the Focus ST's, I prefer the grey instead of the black....for time being anyway

Got a good deal with these, £300 for the set, recently refurbished all with matching Falken tyres and they came with a matching 5th wheel too. I sold my ST alloys for the same so didn't cos me a penny and I have a spare alloy now too...happy days!!!
