Chris182 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi All I've done a lot of work recently on my 2007 Ford Focus, all of which is internal for example mk 2.5 center console 4 spoke steering wheel with cruise control footwell lighting boot 12v socket second boot light heated seats auto lights and wipers android stereo reversing camera I was hoping to get some ideas for more modifications to the interioir and exterior of the car. Any ideas would be great Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commencal24 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Have you gave any thoughts on a 35mm drop? Just subtle enough to improve handling and the look but not rattle yourself to death 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholls0601 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Agree with the 35mm drop. How about an st spoiler and led rear lights twin fog reverse lights have a look at what other members have done to their cars to get some ideas you like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 What spec focus is it? I changed my mk2.5 rear spoiler to the ST spoiler and it's improved the back end, also took chrome bonnet strip off and colour coded it to the car, added with the zetec s front upper n lower grill front end looks lot better now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris182 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Liking the sound of dropping it and an ST spoiler its a 1.8 petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1981 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 New the ST spoiler is £225 from ford primed but not painted. I got a colour coded one n rear light n wiring for £100 off eBay.. shop round and u can get a bargin. What size wheels do you have fitted? If your running 18" and u drop it you may need the steering rack limiter, not sure myself as ive got 16" so didn't need to when dropped mine but I'm sure some1 on here can advise you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris182 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 I've only got 17" standard ones I'm hoping to sell them soon to get some ST ones or RS type ones. a £100 is good for all that! whats the best thing to do on the engine are the K&N performance filters any good?

Commencal24 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I don't think my other half will understand that one bit, she will just be thinking that I'll end up doing to my Focus what I did to my last car haha Lucky for me my brothers a mechanic so a visit to his for a couple of hours and she will be none the wiser 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris182 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Another thing is if i were to buy the mk 2.5 side mirrors with the indicators could i swap them with my mk 2 ones and take the cables from the indicator on the side of my car and attach/splice them to the side mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris182 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I was looking at them and they seem to be £50 for the ST and £30 for the MK 2.5. Was hoping to just swap them and splice the two indicator wires together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris182 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Well I've ordered some so now I'm just waiting for them to arrive!!! was reading up about some members swapping the throttle body to 50mm, i wasjust curious as to what that can actually do for the car like the pros and cons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris182 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Ah fair enough I don't think I'm anywhere near the confidence to start doing that stuff I'll probably just focus on the interior and exterior upgrades before moving onto the engine and other parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
