They increase braking performance by transfering pressure better than the rubber lines

    Is there a way to make the bonnet release on a Focus a SENSIBLE one with a pull under the dash, rather than the "AARRGGHHHHH!!!!" inducing Ignition Key one?

    Yeah, I was looking for SVA approved ones, and the flat ones with handles look the best. meanwhile I have to get the *four letter word alluding to a lady's front bottom* to open on the key, and the ke

You will have to cut a bit of the dash out, top right that's the only bit I can see that would be possible for it to fit after u take the fascia off, its to the left of the ashtray, wish I just stayed single din now lol, more hassle than its worth but stated now so have to finish it now lol, I'll add some pictures once I go out today to do it, give you a ruff idea, but doesn't look easy,

Thanks Terry, look forward to seeing the pics.. :)

Thanks mate,

My hand is covering a picture of a one off V6 Escort Cosworth which I snapped at a Ford show in wexford,

The magazine implys that it's mine or my brothers lol

I just linked Connects2 to my photo account and told them to use what they feel best as I was on crutches at the time of interview and unable to do a specific photo shoot for the magazine.

My youngest daughter is delighted as well if you look closely she's sitting in front passengers seat of the main photo lol

as said these pictures were in my photo account and chosen by C2

I mean my front splitter and ZS lip is gone and has tape visible on the bumper not exactly show stopping

but they chose picture and it's quite an achievement to get entered in to a magazine

it's fantastic to see that there is a radar out there picking up on aspiring enthusiasts across the board.

By all accounts the 2007 focus was changed to the pull lever type as the key system was rubbish,,,if you can find a 2007 that was broken you can fit the bits straight in,,,I had a problem with my key lock for the bonnet but bought new kit with the new longer plastic piece that fits between the lock mech at the slam panel and the end of the cable unit that locks to it.

Striped and all replaced and loads of grease and it is a joy touse now, I am looking fr the pull handle type and when I find one I will replace it as I believe it will be more reliable long term, it is possible to do and not rocket science, and yes you will need the lock mech cable pull unit with the outer cable keep on it still and the side kick panel for the foot well.

When I find the bits myself when I get the time to look anyway I will put the fitting vid on here also once I find out how to post vids on here.

thinking about fitting wheel spacers to my mk2 focus saloon but don't know if it will effect the handling in a bad way. I have fitted jaguar 18" alloys 235 on the front and 245 on the back. also how far can I extend before having to put them horrible arch extenders on

has anyone done this yet ?

thanks in advance

Question re grille

I have a 2015 Focus v3.5. Zetec Ecoboost. Is this grille original or an after fit? I bought the car when it was 10 months old. image.jpeg

As Clive says, that's the standard Zetec and below grille.

There are 3 grille types for the standard Mk3.5 Focus, the lower spec models have the black one like you have, the Zetec S gets gloss black honeycomb and the Titanium and Titanium X gets the chrome bars.

Thank you! All very clear.
