They are stacked in the garage. Been stuck in Egpyt work past month.

 

Hopefully get tyres on them and put on before new year.

Hello guys.

This is my Titanium 1.5 Tdci 120 manual that i received on the 29th of December 2016.

It's got a few optionals as well: Magnetic Grey paint, Door protectors, Titanium travel package(Bixenon adaptive headlights, 17'' wheels with Michelin Primacy HP-would have liked Primacy 3-, Satnav with 9 Speakers Sony unit and Sync 3, Reverse camera, City+ Package-Active Park Assist, Sensors front and back, Powerfold  Mirrors with puddle lights-, 16'' spare wheel and smokers package (this last 2 were on the car because the car was already built and i didn't want to wait 3 months).

Before i had a Fiesta mk7.5(2013) Titanium 1.6 tdci 95HP in red and it's a big difference between the 2, although in some aspects the Fiesta was nicer inside. 

A nice ish surprise were the puddle lights (although they have a halogen bulb) and the reading lights which they are all Leds. Sync 3 works well, Android auto too but the menu is a bit simple (i would have liked some more menus to adjust some things) and i don't get the climate on the touchscreen. 

Overall i really like the car but i find it a bit small inside. If i drive in my driving relaxed position who seats behind me will be uncomfortable (I'm 1.78-5'10). Also the gear stick is a bit far to the right because of the parking assist buttons.

In the boot I have some issues. Only 1 boot light on the left side and if you look up above the bag hooks on both sides looks like a piece of plastic is missing. I can see wires and some sort of insulating  material.

Hope you like the photos!

Need some more pics of the rims on the car dude. Been thinking about getting these myself.

 

Should be home this weekend and tyres done next week. 

 

Time to see if i actually like them on the car.

 

Need to find decent lowering springs. I see you had issues with yours?

I got the H&R 35mm set. They're ok. I seem to be getting a knocking and squeaking every so often. Can't say for sure if it's the springs. Also the rear sits lower than the front. I'm thinking about going coilovers soon in which case the springs will be up for sale.

I have the 3.5 estate so might not work

Finally got around to giving the Focus it's well needed clean, all thanks to winter.

They look awesome man !! Is that on standard ride height ? Not lowered ?

Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Standard ride height. Running 235 35 19 tyres.

Have a zetec s splitter in white to stick on. Thinking of just painting my standard side skirts as its too much hassle trying to find st ones for decent price.

I may just also paint the rear lower bumper instead of an st one after seeing how it looks on the wheels

 

Gave it a wash for a better picture.

That looks unreal mate. Just confirmed my thought for 19 Kuga alloys. I'm sure you're well chuffed.

If you can find a decent deal on them then go for it.

 

I have no scraping at full lock either. Didnt beed that steering bush kit.

 

Considering a 25mm drop aswell but the estate lowering springs are expensive.

So jealous of all the estates!

How much were they? 

I was thinking in changing mine because the plastic ones look very bad.

Cheers.

Very cheap Indeed. I'll ask them next week how much it will cost me over here. I'm curious to see if it will be cheaper to paint the ones I have or to get new ones already painted.

Was surprised too when i asked my dealer. A funny thing is, that the not-painted skirts from Zetec-S (which are basically the same) costs approx. 170 Pounds each. 

Btw the eibach lowering springs costs about 110Pounds that is not expansive, or?

And the Kuga wheels look sick, too bad that  in my country the roads are in so bed condition to drive 19" on daily basis.

Just curious why do some models have these "additions" to the rear spoiler ?
