Pebbleheed Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Any ideas on how to change the fog light surrounds? I’ve got hold of the two ST style webbed surrounds. How do I remove my silver platinum surrounds and put these in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Make sure ya post some pictures when ya have everything fitted. I have bought the StLine grill myself just waiting for the car to be out of warranty before I fit the grill. Plan to get the St line/ Zetec s spoiler aswell.

Pebbleheed Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Will do. I’ve changed now. I have an impact blue Focus now. The black grill looks great on it. No DRL on this one sadly. Will have to look in to how to fit these. I fitted my grill to my car and it’s still under the original ford warranty. I’ve kept the original grill. If I need to claim on the warranty I’ll swap it back. It takes around 5 minutes tops. I can’t see fitting a grill to yours causing a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the drls I think it's just a case of swapping out the headlights with the Drls and activating them via software. A Ford dealership should be able to do that for you for a small fee.

Pebbleheed Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 I’ve got the software and the cable. I just daren’t use them 😄 I keep looking for the lights but every time I find them it says they’re not original parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk That's a big improvement over the ugly Chrome front grill. Your car looks great. Can't wait to getting around to changing mine. Is it easy to change the grill out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I’ve done my fog lights too. They look much better without the chrome surround. Really complement the ST style grill. Re how easy it is - very! It literally pops out when you pull it. You can pull from the middle, or if you’re a little careful like me you can use a plastic pry tool and pop each connector out one at a time. I was probably over cautious but I preferred doing it this way. The fog light surrounds I just yanked out however. I’ll post a pic ASAP.

Don't want to break the clips/ holders that hold the grill in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 I use the trim removal tools on amazon. About £4 for a set of 6. Work really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebbleheed Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Get those fog light surrounds changed too. Makes a huge difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Here’s mine so far. Changed the grille and fog light surrounds. I still want to cover the horrible silver trim on the windows and I’d like to add DRL lights but so far I’m happy with it. I’ve had it remapped and added a K&N filter. That’s made a massive difference to the car too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4zz Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 loving the st line grills fella adding the k&n filter made any difference in induction sound? with the remap I bet it pulls better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbleheed Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 The increase in sound is hardly noticeable. Sounds slightly more growly at top end when putting your foot down. The remap is great. It’s VERY noticeable and the one upgrade I’d recommend over all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
