Lenny Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Excellent write up stoney, this guide will be a great help to others and the focus looks alot better and more streamline with the colour coded rear spoiler fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thanks for the good comments Lenny, i really think it looks far better than the plain matte black standard one. The MK2.5 one really flows better and tidies up the back end. ^_^ Very glad i did it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 looks good only 1 comment its advised to put silicone on both sides of the 3rd brake light seal,the original can leak and the water gets into the roof lining,also when removing the 3rd brake light screws there should be a rubber oring on each check the condition and replace if necessary. you beat me to it i took the pics when doing my spoiler to do a guide also lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel S Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Same principle to fit a spoiler from a Focus ST. How about upgrading to some mk2.5 rear lights? Maybe with some LEDs in the top half a la ST/RS? http://www.focusowners-social.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11412 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i beat you to the draw, please still lob up the pictures, maybe you'll have angles i missed and could maybe integrate them into my guide with your permission, (a credit will be added to you).

focus-dave Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi guys got a clear brake light in my spoiler but god knows which wire is live and which is earth lol. Google good for most things but can i chuff find the answer i want ha. Just need a half decent day to fit it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 If you're just changing to the standard facelift spoiler then surely the wires don't need chopping?You only need to do that if it's an ST /ZS spoiler.Anyhow, on the MK2 Focus the live wire is the thicker of the two wires.Sent from my SM-G965F (S9+) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
