ungary Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 My friend has been given two subs for the car and is nice enough to be passing one in my direction this evening sometime. we both would like to wire them up at the same time but im not sure if this is easy to carry out or not. Any one have any ideas? Also i was thinking to take off the focus and titanium badges on my car but would like to know if people have done it before or if it is thought to be a good idea?

Hyrule Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Nice so far. That sub looks beastly.lol Check out Brigante's build thread. He has done some great mods to his MK2. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/42418-brigantes-build-thread/ Gel overlays for your Ford Badges can be found here. Get them before they stop selling them in June: http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/271/ford-badges-gel-overlays-focus2 Gaitors eBay is the best place to find those and pretty much anything else you are looking for.

Hyrule Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not sure either, when I bought my car 2nd hand, it had all the wiring in place for a sub should I want to add my own. Have a search on the forums, might be some posts about others putting subs in their cars. Any car audio specialist should be able to advise you as well.

higgsy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I am a big fan of debadging every car I have owned I've debadged, but when I did it with the focus it didn't look quite right. I think the focus needs some kind of badge myself. I just went with an S badge. Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungary Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 yeah i agree with you it would take a long time to get used to the back without them. i would do the s thing like you but unfortunately i dont have a zetec s i have a titanium model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyrule Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 i like this focus badge what you think? Go for it, debadged mine and put this badge (mk3) on it. So much nice imo. Remants of the previous badge: New Badge: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ungary Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 So I got some inspiration the other day with regards to painting the drums on my car. Done one and so far it looks ok. Mite need another coat. I also intended on changing my oil and air filter but went to change the air filter and the place I bought it fr sold me one slightly too big. I'm now considering a performance air filter. Anyone have any ideas if what to get. Thanx Gary Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungary Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 So I finished cleaning and painting one of my brake drums. Took me a while to get the wheel undone and off but got there in the end. Below are pictures before and after. Personally I think spray may have been easier but here they are. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Look good mate make a good difference doesn't it Sent from my Zetec S using the FOC for Android app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungary Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah a big difference. I thought at first I would possible have to apply a second coat but once it was dry properly I felt it didn't need it. Gotta do the other side and hope to do that tomorrow. May concider the brake calipers if I can but not sure what colour to go for.
