Gabbo_21 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Been awhile since I updated on my car. Replaced the stolen parts and sprayed back up in black. Installed a detachable tow bar, now looking at what to do with rear bumper. The latest install is a autodab installation to the factory fitted satnav Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbo_21 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Looking at respraying the black plastics for a high gloss black.

Gabbo_21 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Been awhile since doing anything on the Focus, but now have a few things being worked on. 1- EGR valve blanking as well as a well due service (hoping wishing the next week or 2) 2 - Working on a slightly different rear valance to fit on, especially as I already have a detachable towbar fitted. Looking at modding a Zetec S valance, removing the bits between the 'fins' and shortening the middle 1 or finding a good material to cut 4 fins 3 - grills, rear valance and b pillars to be resprayed Sent from my iPad using Ford OC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
