ronnoco Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hello all, I have a 2008 Ford Focus Mk2 Titanium. Unfortunately, my chrome boot trim got trashed. I have replaced with an after market one from eBay. Lots of sellers seem to sell the exact same product (photo attached) I fitted the strip but I cant find a Ford badge that fits this anywhere! I can find one a similar size that is a stick on, but the design on my trim takes a Shell type one with an outer layer that should push on. I'm sure others must have replaced with these trims over the years and it looks like it has been designed to take a particular badge. Can anyone shed on light on whether it is possible to buy that badge. Every other part of the trim is perfect so I'm sure there must be a badge somewhere! Many thanks in advance for any help offered :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one (not genuine Ford) looks to be the right one according to the details within the eBay listing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnoco Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi, Thanks so much for posting. I didn't think of searching for different models but that does look the correct size. I will need to cut off the pins to make it flat but it looks like it will fit perfectly if I glue it in with something. Ordered 🙂 Best Wishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnoco Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hi, Just updating that I received the badge but it doesn't fit unfortunately. I know they are available as it's the one shown at 00:15 and 07:53 in this video: This is the exact trim I have. It looks like the badge just pushes straight on, no pins, etc. It needs to be 15cm or just over according to my calculations. If anyone else has replaced their trim and found the correct badge, please let me know where you got it from. Many Thanks 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I know this is a ridiculous idea, but have you thought about popping down to your local Ford dealer parts dept, and asking him the part no.of what you need, and if price is agreeable, just buy it? If too expensive, at least you have the part no. for further buying research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The ford badge on the rear on an original ford tailgate is 1779943 on MK2. Or try 1532603 , that's a MK2.5 one that fits on the trim with no pins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought because it was aftermarket, it must take as different badge if the original didn't fit. Perhaps it's the 1532603. I'll give that a try. If that has no pins, sounds hopeful. Thanks very much! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I thought it would be easier to post online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a genuine Ford 1532603 now. It was expensive at £37.50 but fingers crossed, it will fit. If it doesn't, I can return and I'll then buy your one.

ronnoco Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just reporting that the 1532603 fitted perfectly. Never released that his aftermarket trim was a MK 2.5. Thanks all 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug22 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hi we have a Ford Focus 2 litre titanium and the tailgate chrome handle has completely snapped off. It is a keyless & camera less handle. We are looking to replace. eBay have numerous parts listed as 1581833. However we think we need a 1567720 part as it’s keyless. Because eBay hasn’t listed the 1591833 part as keyless should we assume it’s for a key locking tail lift boot? The photos on eBay are unclear. Can anyone help clarify the difference in these parts ?

unofix Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Those two part numbers are not the same handle type. A brand new 1567720 is just under £400 and for a 2008 car it's not worth spending that much. I would try looking online a vehicle recycling center's (in other words scrapyards). They are not a common part so it will take a little work to find. If you are very quick you could buy this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125311932320?fits=Plat_Gen%3AMK+II|Model%3AFocus&hash=item1d2d2c57a0:g:zLkAAOSwk9lifhQn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
