Paramanic Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hey all I have always been in this Fiesta section but since buying my daily car on Thursday i thought i would say hey I got a Titanium spec mk3 focus estate with park assist . I am not gonna mod this as much as I did with my fiesta but gonna do some 😄 So lets see your cars 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 A little different than you previous motor, are you planning styling or engine mods? I’m sure you will like the focus, it shares the same spirit as the Fiesta and can be quite fun to drive. If you put half the effort into this as you did your fez you will have a really really nice motor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i agree the turning in this is great even though its longer as an estate but sharp steering fun driving isnt as nippy as the fez but with over 550miles to a tank and as my daily car not bothered as much lol Mostly looks ive already decided not to lower it as Im enjoying the comfortable driving position and will help in winter months and farm roads with chunky tyres the 1.6tdci not many mapping options and reliability is questionable after mapping so as a daily its saying no no but in my head a would like to but due to this fact probs wont even touch the engine ....preferable unless evidence i can lol more of looks i done a render of what it will look like once i get it tinted and wrapped to my standard and change colour of wheels main mods would be adding DRL,s you will see me posting about that soon aswell as i have few questions about it maybe a Xtrons system inside but apart from small changed and some sound changes not too much (and winter wheels) im enjoying the extra space i sold my old Led tail lights today them in there massive box fitted perfectly with my tools next to it and when guy drove off with box he could barely fit that alone in his boot haha really -wrap areas -get rid of chrome -tint windows -add spoiler -new stereo with touch screen -winter wheels -eyebrows and DRLs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Dechroming makes a big difference, never liked it myself.You need to detango the indicators and swap those mirror indicator lenses for tinted ones for sure.https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202241278281Sent from my SM-G965F (S9+) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a stickied thread at the top of the forum with the how to and I've expanded that guide a little with regards dismantling the dash on my build thread. I also have a sync 2 for sale if interested. As per DRLs, the Chinese 'fang' style are reasonable for the cost (£40 ish) compared to the oem ones for over £200. I've done a few other little mods on my build thread and also Keifer @kpg did a sweet job with his last car if you look for his original build thread. Welcome to the dark side edit, not sure with that tag didn't work, but here's his previous build thread 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the dark side [emoji846] Yeah I seen the sync 3 thread but with xtrons using android I have more leeway on additional features such as tpms, rear view camera and watching films etc and extending that to the rear of the car if need be but a do like the new sync just don't fancy using forscan to fek my motor up [emoji23]I will have a look at the threads and seen the fang ones wasn't keen on the design so trying something differentGonna try switchback LEDs in my indicators giving a drl module too to dim the lights 50% when headlight is in also These are arriving tomorrowWill have a look buddy cheers Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Sounds good! There is a way to mirror an android device through android auto which is not too arduous, but native android would be better! If you wanted to go the oem route, there's a device called lockpick which does pretty much what you want. Bit pricey though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
