I have got a 1.6 mk2.5 titanium focus and I now want to start doing the bits to tge engine. Not performance wise cos I know it's not worth it but cosmetic mods. Any ideas?

Ive also saw George fitted a digital volt gauge in to the lid of the battey box,

Connect with a relay to the ignition live feed, it will look goot and wont drain your battery 24/7

Well was having a dig around my box i keep car bits in and came up with this, its a volt meter mounted in battery cover, first pic hard to see with camara, 2nd engine not running 3rd engine running, took 30 minutes from finding to pics :D

just eBay mate,

Ive been intending to remove plastic panels remove hoses one by one, measure length and cut the same in blue then fit it,

I bought the PVC tape and pipe cutters seperate but a stanley blade would do the same job,

And i take it you need high temp paint for the colour coding?

I dont think ya do mate,

I left my bits in to the body shop when having the body kit sprayed so its all the same paint with a clear laquor coat on top to give the shine,

I then done the text detail myself using masking tape and aerosols,

used a syringe and tub of paint for the blue oval.

Free the mind Karl take the time :lol:

Ya probably wont want it, but ive got the syringe and blue paint spare if you want to pay postage,

And spray the full engine cover,

Then when dry mask the full cover,

Get a stanley blade,

Cut around the letters,

Mask any over cuts,

Sand the letters,

Spray desired colour.

Is there anything I can replace that won't necessarily give me performance gains! Such as ht leads, coloured caps?

NGK iridium IX spark plugs, green cotton performance induction filter, 200 cell cat and a 2" cat back exhaust,

If a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold was available off the shelf that would help too
