anguswri Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi All, I've got a 2010 Focus 1.6 style, looking to upgrade the stereo but not sure what to go for. Have seen a lot of people complaining of compatibility issues so want to make sure I go for the right thing. Also looking to make some minor mods to boost performance but nothing too in depth, definitely going for an air filter change to start but looking for more ideas.

anguswri Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Ace, cheers Lenny! What did you cut the plastic away with when fitting the bonnet struts? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Ace, cheers Lenny! What did you cut the plastic away with when fitting the bonnet struts? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Used a fake Dremil from Maplins same tool used to cut out the dash for the ST pod, If you were to remove the panel under the wipers (as saw in the egr blanking guide linked above) you can then remove the side plastic strips and perhaps cut them a bit more tidy, And heres a video below on the correct way to pop in the ball joints not using a hammer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
