Hey ppl new to this just recently purchased a 2010 focus zetec s 1.8 petrol and was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction to after market parts looked all over for a bonnet with grills and rear spoiler to no availe...pls help need to make my car more sexy on the eye



The Zetec S spoiler is already exactly the same as the ST one so maybe an LED upper brake light?

Buy the bonnet vents and fit yourself, a steady hand and an accurare tape measure is essential.

lowering the car definitly improves handling and fuel economy, however it does also require laser tracking alignment done after the springs have been fitted to correctly align the camber otherwise you will end up with excessive tyre wear. 

The Tracking alignment isint difficult to have done but definitely worth factoring in to the overall price of lowering the car, costs around 50-70 pounds for tracking 

Upgrading the induction filter will give your engine a bit more of a throaty grunt but not much increase in power because your engine is naturally aspirated it's not creating as much vacuum as turbo 

Dump valves are fitted to petrol turbos to vent off excess boost pressure when the clutch pedal is pressed, the venting prevents blow back which gives a flutter sound but causes cavitation within the compression housing of the turbo which weakens it's structure.

The dump valve prolongs turbo life.

you can however; fit a saber electronic dump valve which gives off the impression your running alot of boost even if your on a bicycle

I've given up on cars and performance myself, I've moved on to doing up the house, most powerful thing i have now is an 80W led flood light 😀

turns out 80W led light is equivalent to 1200w Halogen 😂

back gardens like a stadium 6000kelvin even the moths be like😣 "Damn Lenny that's bright"
