My car is a Titanium (with chrome grill), I bought the Zetec S lower front grill for £20 off ebay (Collected).

I installed it, didn't like it, removed it.

At least 3/4 of the plastic clips are broken, however it seemed to fit on securely (they were broke when I bought it, and I was too lazy to fix them!).  I think they are be repaired/glued, but bare in mind I'm selling it 'as seen'/damaged!

I just want my money back, so £20 collected from North Notts/Yorkshire/Lincs Border area.

Thanks.

This is a picture of the actual grill of my car (lower grill only)

So I've been looking at tuning boxes and other ideas.

For starters, a remap is out of the question, however great an idea it is.

I've looked at blufins, and wouldn't mind but for the cost.  Similar story with DTUK, although some bloke I was chatting to on the DTUK website offered great advice and support.

Then I ended up looking at cheaper stuff on ebay as well, and in fact mentioned this to the DTUK guy who said if I did decide to go for the ebay option, go for the cheapest because they're mostly all the same.  Anyway, I don't think he actually meant this item when he said that:

its £8, and looks 1) crap and 2) potentially dangerous.

But I just wondered if anyone had used it.  I'm sure its just a chip masquarading as a simple resistor like many other boxes, but if its that simple, can it really do any damage, and will it have the desired effect?

Anyway, your thoughts and discussion please

The diary starts slightly half way through.  I've already sorted the custom heater controls, and put some trim detail on the back bumper.  I'm not into heavy mods - just the quick and easy bits!  I might try some more major stuff eventually, but for now...

I could have sworn I saw a guide on here (may have been another focus forum, but thought it was here), on how to swap out the 12v socket on a titanium longer-centre console for the proper ford part 'power' start button.

I know its pointless,  but its something I'd like to try, but despite repeated searches, I can't find the guide? It had photos and info on what to connect to wear around the ignition.

Any ideas on where I saw it?
