    I like the idea of it but I decided not too. It looks the part now with the car and suits it quite well :). Nope bumper stayed on. It's very easy to do. That easy it took 30 minutes.

    Right here's a cheeky pic of it fitted. Will do a full write up tonight as I haven't driven it yet. It took 30 minutes to remove everything and refit it and start the car to leak check the pipework.

I need to get myself on the motorway and see what I can get, I've got up to 50mpg now just town driving which isn't too bad, I'm not sure what the mpg should of been when the car was made.

Im currently getting 22.9km per litre

Ive not worked that out yet think the focus has a 50ltr tank

Fifty is about right for town usage. And for the extra urban it's about 67 I think don't quote me though. and lenny that's pretty good. that's just about 65mpg. There is always room for improvement. I don't think I'll get much more than 70 maybe 71 before having to drive a lot slower and getting remap.

on my turbogauge once ive been driving a good 10-15 mins its between 50-55 average mpg, ive yet to properly calibrate it though due to the instructions are in bad translated english and unsure if it wants the units in gallons or litres haha

Well get one then I would and then get remapped and you'll be laughing :)

i mean the cluster, mines the mk2 but no on board trip :(

Actually them Aussie loons did a myth busters thing about painter the I/C black, they found it helped keep the air cooler than the chrome when in traffic/sitting around, but when it came to driving at speed it didn't make too much difference (if any).

Fun based facts for ya!
