Hi everyone.

I've drive a 2005 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi, we've owned the car for just over a year now. My partner and I are looking to do a few subtle modifications to it, so thought I'd sign up to see what people have done and/or reccomend. Hope to speak to many of you soon.

Thanks,

Kyle.

    I'm in Gravesend. Down beside the Thames, nice and quiet!

    Over in Gillingham near the football stadium, anything but quiet :D

    I used to work up in Gravesend, just opposite the civic centre, spent three years there and quite liked the area, especially come the St Georges parades!

    I used to live with my parents in Gillingham, far from quiet indeed! I've only been in Gravesend for 8 months or so now, but it's quite a nice place, what I've seen so far.

    Definately by the river, nice and tranquil, close enough to town and best of all, an excellent restaurant down the road!

    Very nice food, if not overpriced, but as it was a works christmas dinner, I decided to get fat for a night, and it was very nice indeed!

    I'm sure that's what we all do at a works party/dinner. I shall definitely have to try out the food there.

    Is there a 'search' button on here to look through the forum? We've just purchased a set of coilovers for the Focus, but I'm just wondering if there's a guide for installation or if anyone else has added them to their Focus.

    top tight of the screen there is a white search bar, just pop your search term in there. I cant recall seeing a coilover guide, but you can browse it. If you click the Guides section in the top right of the screen (along from forums, news etc) you will then see guides and can browse through them as well.
