Newbie - My 'new' Motor

Featured Replies

Hi all,

First of all a bit of an introduction.

I've never really been interested in cars, However this all changed around June time which was when my old Focus Ghia (54 plate) needed a new Cat, so I decided to get rid and buy a Focus Sport 2.0 Diesel. Shortly after buying it I visited this forum for the first time and it was from then on that the modification bug set in!.........needless to say I'm forever working overtime :0)

Here are the 'mods' completed so far. Also attached some photos below of the exterior.

Interior;

Aux cable installed.

Brodit I Phone holder

Mondeo sunglasses holder

Passenger roof handle sunglasses holder

Interior lights changed to LED

Aluminium Focus door sills

Upgraded to Focus Titanium Sony single disk CD player

Leather ST Recaro seats

Recaro seat back protectors

Rear seat bolt covers

Single front Interior light changed to one with Map lights

Carbon fibre (Titanium Grey) center console, ashtray, stereo surround

Ford Mats with Aluminium S Ford badges

Heated seat switches

Triangular metal surround trim for heater vents

Upgraded heater dials

S sticker on steering wheel spoke

Exterior;

Headlight eyebrows installed and colour coded

Fog surrounds and bonnet lip colour coded

LH Drive rear fog light

Washer jets colour coded

K&N Air filter

Ford logo dust caps and aluminium valve covers

Parking sensors

Mudflaps

Bumper vents painted Red

S badge on front grille

Calipers painted Red

Exhaust twin tailpipe

Zetec and TDCI badges removed

Future Mods;

I'm currently in the process of modding a S lower grille so that I can install a Honeycomb style mesh to match the ST upper grille that I've bought.

I'm also in the process of installing vanity lights, and a rear Interior light. I've also just ordered a rubber boot liner and I'm also going to purchase a full size spare alloy.

Plan to get it remapped when funds allow ;0)

Exterior lights changed to LED

Got to get the heated seats connected as well.

Hopefully if I get chance tomorrow I will add a couple of photos of the Interior - I've got to clean and Hoover it first :0)

Any comments, suggestions, or questions welcome.

Enjoy........

Stuart :0)

Looking very nice, and a great list of mods you have done and have planned :)

Welcome to the forum Stuart,

Nice list of mods there and nice touch on the gills in the front diffuser,

If you would like some more ideas click on my aviator picture on the left of the screen to view my list of guides with links to supply.

Wow thats a healthy amount of mods already done. Good looking motor :D . How about an rs style rear spoiler? And welcome to the forums.

Thanks all for the nice comments. I must confess that painting the bumper vents came from another user(s) on this forum (steveandmichelle ?)

I've also thought about changing the wheels to the ST ones and whilst I prefer them, I'll probably keep the ones I have on purely because (and no disrespect meant here) they're not as popular.

May get it lowered but because my driveways at an angle and at a slant (which is causing problems with my mud flaps as it is) I doubt it will be possible without causing any problems.

nice looking focus there mate, i wouldnt mind a rear diffuser for my focus, but ive got robbed twice throu purchasing from ebay (seller taking money, closing acc etc...). keep up the work, weather permitting lol

This is where I'm at with lower S grille mod.I used a Dremel to cut out the internal part of the grille.

Got to sand down all the rough plastic, fill and rub down, insert honeycomb mesh, primer, then get it painted in Matt Black. Fingers crossed it will work. :0)post-44853-0-85476600-1388316891_thumb.j

Welcome to the family! she's looking good!

Hi buddy

Sweet Zetec S. I want to change my seats to the ST kind. Where did you get yours from and how much?

Thanks buddy

Hi mate,

Bought the ST seats off of Ebay. £450 I paid, well worth it though in my opinion - so comfortable :)

Where they new ones? Or used?

  • Author

Used. In mint condition though.

Stuart, the car looks ace. Keep on modding!
