Oliverb Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi all, I want to share with you all My Ford Focus Titanium and the process of it's modification Build ..All Comments WelcomeEnjoy......The day I knew she was the one .... I had a Focus style 57plate before this, but not for long at all due to issues..however my Old one came with the mini ST alloys so i got the ford dealers to swap the wheels over :)Added ice white LED Lights to the interior light and foot well and Glove box a Red LED.I ordered some new number plates with Legal 3d font no border or GB logoPurchased the Zetec S Lower Grille, it wasnt as easy to pop the standard titanium one out as i thought it would be I pretty much gave up and just snapped the chrome surround off..white LED registration lights and side light and Xenon headlight Colour coded the washer jetsI purchased the Zetec S front skirt second hand on eBay, the skirt was cracked but with a bit of TLC was easily sorted and now looks brand new all primed ready to be painted ..... this will be done by a pro...and this... not to sure what its called but i sprayed it..De-badged the 1.6 ... i wanted to leave the Titanium on thoughDRL fog surrounds are on the way in the post ( now fitted )I was going to have them carbon fibre hrydro dipped but i really wanted the DRL's... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preee Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Some good work there Ollie , why have you not sprayed the Skirt yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverb Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Some good work there Ollie , why have you not sprayed the Skirt yourself? Thank you very much...a lot of work to Go yet :-P I want to get them done professionally because I feel I could easily muck them up.. I am not great at the spraying to be honest I can do the odd jobs.. But I wouldn't be able to do big areas.. And plus pros won't be in a dusty room while they do it.. If I was to do mine in the garage they would come out feeling like sand paper lol My dad is good but still he also thinks to get it done pro.. Makes sure the jobs done properly! I have found a decent price to get it all done.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highwaymanuk Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Looking good and looks like a good list of mods, can I suggest getting fogs colour coded at same time as getting skirt sprayed. They will really make a difference being silver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliverb Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I thought I would take advantage of the perfect weather conditions for cleaning cars this morning Snow foamed, clay bar , and the polished !! Here are some snaps.. I took the washer jets off to re paint them they wasn't up to my fussy standard! And a parcel arrived, the package was crushed so I was slightly worried to see the products state, what could this be? ;-) And After a long old wait for the delivery, and me getting very impatient that they would never show up... My DRL's in great fine condition! So after cleaning finished , I could not wait to put the DRLs in, how ever I have not wired them up yet! The ford fog surrounds where very easy to get out...but the DRLs where not so easy to put in, but with a but of fiddling about and applying some pressure they eventually popped in. And I am very happy with the results, I will continue to complete the DRLs wiring them up later in the week / weekend :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliverb Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 And finally with the wiring all sorted the DRLs are up and running, now dimming when the sides and headlights come on. Eventually realised the white wire need to wire up to the main beams and not the side lightshere are some picture.... these where taken in the blazing sun, just to show what they are like in the "daytime"As the sun started to go down - with headlight on (DRL dimmed )and off And in darkSorry for getting carried away on the photos, but maybe fore those of you who are debating getting them these may help you make your mind up.. And plus I couldn't just choose a few to post :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
