thanks very much Andy,

The focus was a good design to begin with so it responds well to subtle modifications, ive spent many day_ and nights gazing at it wondering what to do next lol and even in its modified state the stock engine parts are handling it very well,

Where possible i used genuine ford parts to modify the original ford design for two reasons

1. Show ford how it should be done a STDCi diesel ST 100% possible

2. Keep it subtly modified not boy racer looking but more maturly modified practical modifications.

I can explain the auto off relay to you in the dual reverse guide here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/29347-guide-fitting-second-reverse-light-ford-focus-mk2-mk25/#entry158997

As i dont want to be filling up Jamie's build thread with my technical jargon irrelevant to his build,

If you take a swift look through the pagesvof the thread ive linked in this post you will see images of the auto off relay install,

It just filters the positive feed on the rear fog light,

And a sensor feed from relay fits to the reverse positive,

So anytime reverse is active, the relay prevents any power being sent to the rear fog light.

In the event you have your rear fog light on,

The relay will overide the switch while reverse is active,

Then reactivate the rear fog as soon as you stop reverse.

So theres never a red and white light shining out the rear at the same time.

sadly and to my surprise the company "GenLabs" whom manufactured these off the shelf auto relays have gone out of business,

Fear not though a relay is easy found, any auto off DRL wiring loom will do exactly the same purpose and it is exactly that DRL auto off relay which GenLabs m\nufactured, that i used for the reverse/fog

I've done an eBay search and this is an equivalent replacement

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/270929531647?cmd=VIDESC

Yellow feed to positive reverse feed,

Red+black to ignition, connect them to positive+negative feeding from switch to rear fog,

Red+black to DRL, connect them to positive+negative ends feeding to the fog light bulb,

Spare Red+black to DRL, tape it up surplus to requirements

Decided to colour code the fog surrounds, just need to leave them to harden for 24hrs. Fit the chrome rings and re-fit. :)

Wet and dried.

Looking great Jamie,

You're a lucky man can spray paint with fantastic results,

I don't have the patience personally.

Cheers Lenny, I like painting just don't like the sanding bit lol......they could be better, but can always be re-done at a later date. I like to do as much as I can myself. :)

here's a question:

How many flys, moths and wasps were dead inside your fog light surrounds?

Fog surrounds re-fitted. Just need polishing up in a few days. :)

They look fantastic mate,

A titanium spec lower grill would suit ypur car nicely unless you're planning to fit a ZetecS front lip,

That makes such a difference colour coding the fog surrounds. Right, that's going to be my next mod after I get my Halfords card. Will need to get paint, primer and clear coat. Where did you get all the bits from btw? And how did you remove the surrounds? Thanks

Cheers mate, yep paint, primer, laquer, 400,800, & 1200 grit wet&dry. Just carefully pop them out with a flat screw driver. Then unclip the chrome surrounds. Got all my bits from Halfords using my discount card. :-D
