Mobility operations aren’t going to check that kind of detail either. Unless they’re reading this thread. 🧐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any subtitle mods or the addition of an engine cover would go unnoticed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for LEDs , I had the option £250 factory fitted. Was unfortunately potless at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any subtitle mods or the addition of an engine cover would go unnoticed. This pretty much from what I know. Never heard of an issue because a car had mud flaps fitted (done this for my parents Motability cars a few times because the stealers take the p). Now, if you put coilovers, 22 inch alloys, and neon lights on that would be a different story. Or built your own B&O sound upgrade 😂. Pretty sure that would invalidate the lease. (Which reminds me, I have a Herz sub and Speakers needing a use…..) I mean, how strict do you go - technically putting non OEM wipers on could be considered a modification! Is a Ford Owners Club sticker a modification? A dash cam? If you added an engine cover could you not just remove it before hand back anyway @Alex.S? Alternatively, just don’t look under the bonnet too often 🤪. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but my local dealership has had focus in stock last few months. Not sure about ST but there’s cars where there was none for a few years. I was advised it’d be a 6 month wait for a factory order. That was a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but parents ordered a Titanium in July and have now been given a revised delivery date of February (originally late November iirc), though as the car is built we are hoping it comes a bit sooner.

TomsFocus Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 The Focus factory (Saarlouis) shuts down over Christmas and new year so if it isn't built now, I wouldn't expect to see it in the UK before Feb. For one that's already built you might see that towards the end of Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. I was told it’d be 6 months if I’d put an order in couple of months ago. I waited 3 months in 2019, before Covid , war etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
