OK I'm thinking about a very slight drop on the springs (say 20 - 30mm and a silver code one the calipers. Everything matt panther black. St spoiler. Progressive tints, zetec Dark headlights ams maybe something on the front bumper skirt. Would love to see a render of my (sensible) ideas

I don't do Photoshop but drawing the picture is the easiest thing :) figured id give some advice on your chosen list of mods instead:

Eibach lowering springs drop it 35mm and are also available through ford see fordpartsuk.com

Don't forget to purchase adjustable rear camber bolts and have the laser alignment done after lowering.

35% tint on rear windows and 10% front doors in a nice contrast,

ST front bumper would give it a more aggressive appearance aswel as lower, however if not low enough TripleRcomposites manufacture a gloss black lip designed to fit the ST bumper,

Lenny I have actually read most of your projects mate! U certainly love da foci

I often agree with Lenny, apart from the 10% front tints... I know it's very subtle, but I believe it's also technically illegal - It'd be a shame to get ticketed or forced to remove it at the roadside.. etc...

I know about front side window tints being dodge. But rear darker and then rear quarter darker still that's not dodge. Thought it might look nice

Yeh that's fine.. Anything behind the B pillar...

I think front tints look ok, I just think it'd be a shame to pay good £ only to be told to scrape it off on the roadside... plus it will invalidate insurance..

Nice list of planned mods. If I may suggest along with the lowering springs to get a set of Bilstein dampers if the current ones are on the way out. They come in a pack, EIbach Bilstein B12 for the Focus. I am planning to get them myself sometime next year, fingers crossed :)

its legal over here,

Up to 25% on front doors,

Factory tint is up to maximum 15% so i got 10% added making it maximum 25% which is limit in Ireland sorry guys didnt know it was illegal over there

Colour coding wing mirror surrounds aswell as colour coded stock rear spoiler also looks good,

Here's some pictures of a mk2 i saw before looked tidy ST front bumper, colour coded fog surrounds and TripleRcomposites front splitter,

Same actually, Quote from gov website:

"Vehicles first used on 1 April 1985 or later

The front windscreen must let at least 75% of light through and the front side windows must let at least 70% of light through."

So anyway. Is this a photo shop thread or not?

To be fair, people have been adding in ideas... Lenny has shown you ideas visually to give you hints. You've mentioned front bumper and dark headlights to be photoshopped but you've only shown a side profile picture of your car...
