Ford Focus Mk2.5 Build

Featured Replies

Well had the car a couple of months now and it is time to make some changes.

So far:

- LED Side and number plate lights

- Brighter Fog Lights

- Blue tint LED interior lighting

- Blue painted calipers and drums

- Touched up some ageing signs

To do this month:

- Zetec S lower grill

- Ford owners club sticker install

- Repaint dash as previous owner scatched it

- Review fogs (less yellow again? Grrr)

Thinking about:

- Zetec S front splitter

- Zetec S rear splitter and diffuser

- Zetec S side skirts

- ST wheels painted dark silver

  • Just realised no Ford Fair Photos went up. Took 16 hours to prep the motor and was really happy with the way it turned out. Was nice to meet a couple of you guys even though I wasn't on your stand.

  • So, Spring will officially start next week so I thought I would give the car a quick Spring clean. This morning was a little on the chilly side so I decided to use Mequiars gold wash and wax to get a

Looks good mate, nice list of plans too,

Cree H11 are a nice 6000k light, there not very bright but would match the HID kit nicely

Looks pretty sweet mate, loving the HID. Can't wait to see your plans progress! :D

Nice, is that Sea Grey or Panther Black. Looks almost blue in your avatar picture?

The best way to describe the colour is metallic charcoal. Just on the way home now and will try to get the colour code noted.

The colour is sea grey for clarification :)

Ok kool so not far off mine then.

If you do the lower grille, get it sprayed gloss black looks stunning. And maybe the fog surrounds with DRL's

Some pics to give you an idea:

Did you order your DRLs from a specific supplier or eBay ? Looked on eBay and unwilling to take a hong kong gamble on those.

That grills nice though.. happy they're only 40ish quid!

Yup DRL's from Taiwan, absolutely perfect and simple to fit, had help from fellow member Mixmasterlooney.

Link to DRL's is in my Signature.

Ive got a set of these fitted over three years now and still operating 100% the led units are from Osram but assembled to a specific ford focus kit in Taiwan,

http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/28999-guide-for-fitting-daytime-running-lights-focus-mk25/

The additional rocker switch fitting as saw in the guide, is optional giving you the ability to drive with them off completly,

Ideal for changing your apperance at night.

Or flashing oncoming traffic to alert them of piggy banks ahead,

See my version on page 2 or 3 of the guide, i removed the battery box, bolted drl control box's to the rear left side so there out of view and seem completly factory fitted no visible cables or box's

Nice deap sgine from the body there mate,

Headlight bulds looking great too,

Sadly winter draws a hold to build progress for most of us unless you have a garage which i personally dont,

What future plans have you got in stir for your focus in spring/summer 2015

Yeah all of mine is currently on hold now.. ive got my Zetec S bumpers to spray and get fitted early doors and im going to either get my current alloys defreshed because the previous owner had curbed them or treat myself to some ST alloys and

get them sprayed the BMW gun metal colour.

Hopefully winter isnt too harsh on the cars!

Having 18" myself mate i reckon 17" are big enough but its your car,

18's fill the arches with rim but when lowerd require steering rack limiter kit costs 25 quid prevents the 8" wide rim from eating the wheel arch,

Plus 18" contribute to the unsprung mass which reduces the take off power,

But on the positive side the 18x8 with 35mm profile handle fantastic,

Throw it in to corners when lowerd on them and no wabble at high speed sticks to road.
