btmaldon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Its come up a treat. Just to finish off the look though, I would invest in some new number plates seeing the car is in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Looks great, a lot of hard work gone in to polishing their. Halfords have some turtle wax rim polish that comes with a paint brush, Spay it on, Brush it in (watch your eyes when brushing) Then hose it off and admire the shine, no broken fingers or scuffed knuckles. And as said some new reg plates and she's back to show room condition. Some ultra flat Wiper Blades on the front and rear will give it a smoother look too. Maybe remove and spray the front upper and lower grills with plasti-koat gloss black too. All in around 50pounds on top of the time spent on it already will be priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Can i recommend clear/smoked front/side indicator lenses fitted with silvertec style bulbs to reduce the tango effect and a clear rear fog lens with a red cree Q5 bulb to even up the rear and give a nice bright light? I'd also change the stock reverse bulb to a Cree Q5 to really set the rear off. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SMOKED-INDICATORS-SIDE-REPEATERS-FOR-THE-FORD-FOCUS-98-04-/121064286963?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c2ffe6af3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SMOKED-FORD-FOCUS-MONDEO-WING-INDICATOR-SIDE-LENS-NEW-/360281121731?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53e26da3c3 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-Fiesta-IV-99-01-Chrome-Silver-Indicator-Bulbs-SIDE-501-flash-Amber-orange-R-/300638144954?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45ff6e09ba http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Amber-Chrome-Front-Indicator-Lights-BAU15S-PY21W-Silver-Upgrade-Car-Bulbs-/261041878998?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc74ef7d6 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REAR-FOG-LIGHT-CREE-RED-LAMP-LED-CAR-BULB-12V-382-P21W-FORD-FOCUS-MK2-/290770076134?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AFord%7CModel%3AFocus&hash=item43b33f41e6 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CREE-Q5-382-1156-REVERSE-BULB-BA15S-5W-380-LUMENS-WHITE-6000K-FANTASTIC-COLOUR-/290746795913?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AFord%7CModel%3AFocus&hash=item43b1dc0789 Just my suggestions.

Lenny Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 ive bought a rear reverse light bulb just got to fit it its: 1x Ford Focus 382 P21W 24-LED Extreme Reverse Bulb Bright White Light Upgrade _ eBay That bulb may require an inline resistor to illuminate if it doesn't when you plug it in and reverse. If it does require a resistor to be fitted then id get a refund on the bulb and as clive says purchase a creeQ5 they work in both 12v and 24v fittings straight out of the package and have a resistor built in to the bulb no messing with heat sink in line resistors. Worth every penny and 55watt of light with no heat as leds don't get half as hot as standard bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just plugged in a standard LED bulb no resistors... The only time it becomes a problem, is when you use it on indicators and the likes, as they end up fast blinking because of the lack of resistance, but for a perma-lit light (non blinky) it shouldn't be a problem :) I might invest in CREE's later, but personally dont have the fundage at the moment, I think that the pure white output of my reverse bulbs at the moment, offers a rather pleasant look to the motor, and since I plan on shortly fitting some nice tints to the motor, I dont think even the Cree's can save me :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
