Theres a few niggles that need sorting with it which will be done when money allows. But for now im saving for the insurance renewal in a few months.... (This is not going well LOL!)

First mod was a bonnet bra... the bonnet has a couple of nasty stone chips in it which I cant afford to be repaird, so for the mean time, this will cover it up and make me feel better ;)

Will be removed again in a week or so's time to flatten off the lacquer and get that mirror shine. Quite happy bearing in mind it was my first time spraying anything... and it was only rattle cans too.

Mist jets removed from the focus before I sold it happen to fit the fez :) so they were colour coded and fitted too!

St Gauge Pod

12 November 2012 - 04:11 PM

Hi all,

As im selling my focus and keeping my scangauge im going to sell the st gauge pod and surround as I no longer need it.

I fitted the scangauge inside, but you can also fit other gauges or even standard st gauges.

If you would like I can also supply the wrapped perspex plate I made to take the scangauge (Fitting can be seen in the focus guides section)

Posted Image

Posted Image

(It dose have a very small crack on the back of the cover, hard to see)

Posted Image

Posted Image

Looking for £40 plus postage (I expect will be about £6) NOTE this price dose NOT include the scangauge itself!

Looking Into Changing To Fiesta

19 October 2012 - 12:20 PM

Hello everyone, im normally in the Focus section, however due to a few changes im having to 'downgrade' so to speak. So im looking at selling my Focus and buying a newer fiesta. Think I will have roughly £5500 to play with, so its going to be hard finding something. Got my eye on a 2009 (New shape) at the moment.

Theres a few things I need to know first...

Im looking at anothe Diesel, and wanting the 1.6TDCi (Also wanting it to be Zetec) Are these fine for towing? Iv not seen a fiesta zetec with a tow bar fitted before... Do they do towbars to fit?

Its not going to be towed extremly heavy loads, just a couple of pitbikes and gazebo/tent etc on a small trailer.

Any advice much appreciated, what to look out for etc..?

Thanks!
