Mk3.0 - What To Do?

So guys.

I've recently bought a 1.6 TDCi Mk3 Focus Titanium from a local dealer.

It's going back to the dealer to have some faults addressed though I bet they'll try it on as it would involve a new windscreen as the quick clear doesn't work properly.

Anyway, thats besides the point, I am new to ford so I don't really know what the popular upgrades or modifications are?

I want to make 'some' changes to make it mine but I don't know where to start!

I hope you guys can make some suggestions.

I don't want to go OTT but see whats what.

    Depends what you want to do really.

    I've fitted mudflaps, sport grilles, large rear spoiler, black fog surrounds, sport pedals, etc.

    Hi Figgis41.

    That was for the mk2 focus ,ours is the mk3 different bodyshell and different wiper action than the mk2 focus so hopefully this problem won`t occur.

    It was never a fault in any design the above shows that the 2 clips which hold the ribbons in place are missing at some point they werent fitted back on all fords will have clips to hold these ribbons in place

    Hi,, i thought it was rather strange that those ribbon cables were just left to dangle there and not secured away with some clips, maybe the guy removed them for dramatic effect ?

    Hi Paul,, i realised this was a mk2 and we have mk3's but you never know,,,,,

    after watching it again i then realised the wipers on ours are now configured in a diferent way,, doh.
