rocky1722 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yes, caught my car with it's pants down today! :P Going to get Stoffler rear diffuser fitted next week and then I'll have to get a twin exhaust made up. Will post up pics when all finished. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewL Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I hate the fact that your car is always beautifully clean! Despite half of the skin panels missing! Is it still ok to drive it around without the bumper etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmcdermott Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 OHHHHHHH I CANT WAIT TO SEE THAT!!! I would love to have a twin exhaust on mine, would look ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryfly Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi Rocky.... As you have removed the rear plastic bumper assy, I wondered how adjustable the fit is to the rear metal work in the area of the wheel arch, the plastic on my mk7 protrudes a little around this area and wondered if it was adjustable at all or is it just clipped in and not adjustable? Cheers Bryfly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bryfly I didn't actually physically take the bumper off, was just lending a helping hand. The bumper round the wing / arch area is clipped in and I'm pretty sure it would be a fixed fit, not adjustable. I'll double check for you today. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My road's just got lots of humps ..................... speedbumps. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My road's just got lots of humps ..................... speedbumps. if that was my street the bumper would probably be lying on a speedhump at the end of the road its a very minimalist look and all white you been watching too much changing rooms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bryfly When you say the plastic protrudes a little in this area, do you mean the small triangle of grey plastic in each rear arch? If you do, it's meant to be like that. If not, you should be able to get Ford to adjust things and make the panel fit-up right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi coysht........no it is not the triangular bit of plastic it is the rear bumper where the bumper meets the metal work, just thought i would see if it is adjustable as rather do it myself than let a dealer loose on it. Also thanks to rocky for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithC Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I hope so only need it for the next couple of nights and then it'll be off the road all next week. ;) You're taking a big risk. Imagine if someone rear ended you, you may get a shock from your insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the car away and off the road for the next week to get the Stoffler rear diffuser fitted and the washer jets colour coded white. Can't wait to get the car back to see what it'll look like. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bryfly Sorry for not getting back but to me it looks like there wouldn't be any adjustment in the fit of the rear bumper to the rear wing area as the black plastic appears to be fixed by some sort of poppers.

rocky1722 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Got the car back tonight with the new Stoffler rear diffuser fitted. Looks the doggies B) , even if I do say so myself :P, very Focus RS-esque. I'm afraid I'm not going to post any pics up until the weekend as I'm getting the exhausts made and fitted on Friday. ;) Should finish it off perfect. :) Stephen.
