Indeed, only the bluntest of tools would buy a new Vauxhall

Well Nighteye has a UK warehouse, confirmed from themselves and I received mines from them. And Night eye has a great customer service also. Ps let's not take this away from the review The lights are really good, well built and would recommend them here is colour My fogs are led also but a lower kelvin Beam pattern

yep , take one for a test drive. saves having to ask folk on the internet who cant really give you the answers youre lookin for. ;-)

To be blunt here- You don't like the look, ride or sound of an ST? So why look at buying an ST? I have been in one and it was perfectly fine. Sent from my SM-G930F

As @biff55 said can get 72w and have brighter light than my set @Cookey09 and we can compare them to these via light output build quality etc too never know if they are better a might get a set of them too haha I'm happy with these atm and the fan less approach in checked on there fb page only goes to 50 odd degrees which is amazing the one with fan goes hotter but with fan it decipates it a lot lower so goes Cooler because of fan and would be interesting to see the brightness of these bud keep us up to date @Jonro2009 so what you are telling us is that you were pole dancing your mondeo lol surely cant be too hard buddy I seen lots of aftermarket stuff for new mondeo and quite like them myself too and I agree with the 5000k usable light lol well I have spoken to night eye themselves and they were asking what we wanted a said a led light that's 5000k and they said it is possible and are now looking into it 😃

And in Doncaster It has to be a Vauxhall. Made the news.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-38594087

I have a TitX with 17s on. Yeah, the ride is quite jarring at times, so I can imagine this is worse in an ST. It's also not the quietest cruiser and you know you're doing miles on the motorway. Is it worse than my old Corsa though? Probably not. That was a Design running on 16s. The Corsa was more comfortable though as the Fiesta isn't great for tall people. Seats in the Fiesta are a little more padded. The 125 Ecoboost is a fun enough engine. Fast enough but not a traffic light burner because the gearbox is not designed to do it. Long ratios... The crappy clutch will also die very early by all accounts. It runs out of puff lower in the rev range than you'd expect. This is especially obvious in first gear. Sounds nice though. I'm a leisurely driver who occasionally likes to put his foot down though and for that, it's perfectly fine. Yes, it's chuckable. Yes, it's good value on the whole. Yes, stuff will go wrong with it. Yes, there is a plethora of mods you can make and I'm sure the spoiler will come off easily enough.

A few years ago a compete stranger did this to me in a supermarket car park. I was still in my car at the time (on the phone) and she parked beside me , much like that - absolutely no way for me to get out from the drivers door. I tapped the horn and gestured to her, she shrugged and got out her car. So I rolled the window down and punch her passenger door. You would have thought I has put a bomb in her car the way she exploded. Was worth it though - so got the point and moved it. :-)

we had a bit of snow in midlands, enough to cover our freshly tarmacked drive which i have to reverse onto then drive hard left so i dont go on someones garden lets say i got stuck and couldn't drive forward hahaha managed it through, being slow and gentle wasn't working so i floored it and managed to slide the car free hahaha, first bit of snow iv had in my fiesta

no worries. if youre thinking of buying a set , i'd probably get the 72w set as they have mini cooling fans built into the bulb base , which will help them last longer. the set paramanic bought are 50w so should be a bit brighter :-)

Don't know why it did that lol what I was going to say was you can also fit Euro reversing light instead of the fog light and fit a red led light in to the clear lense and smoke both lights I also fitted a led white light in to the reversing light

ah ok thanks , thought you meant you'd tried led dipped beam lamps and didnt like them. my bad :-)

Thanks again guys for all the reply's and great help. It is the external pillar / window trims, I was looking for. So sorry.

You've just handed your self a ticket to "bye bye's ville". Well done that man. The response you got is because quite frankly these are questions for a dealer to answer. The information is on the Ford pages, and if you're speccing up a new car, those options will be visible when you actually bother to do it. Buying a second hand car? The response would have been more helpful because no two Ford's are alike, and guidance would have been given on what to look for when searching for one with x features. This is the problem these days @alexp999 people expect to be spoon fed everything. I might just add, he's a paramedic. I wonder if he talks to his patients like that....

Welcome to the forum Gazza, I've saw your post on my profile page there aswell thanks for the kind comments & getting directly in contact, it's a better organised layout if i respond on this thread rather than my profile page. Before you invest in this project mate I suggest saving funds for the planned future project as I've spent over 12 euro on mine and it handles just like an ST but in terms of performance its still not an ST, it takes copious amounts of your money and you won't notice because it will always look good in exchange for your cash, next thing you realise; give spent 2 grand on modifcations. Now with that said I'll answer your question; Everything from the ST both inside and out will fit your focus 100% except engine parts & exhausts. The seats bolt in no problem, to remove front and rear seats you will need a TX40 and a TX50 bit available from Halfords both for around 16 pounds or the key set is available for around 12 pounds I couldn't decide at the time and I'm forever dropping tools so I bought both 😅 I've created a few guides including fitting the ST pod here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/68214-full-list-lennys-guides/ My six year long build thread is also here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/41443-taking-oval-to-blue-horizon-lennys-build-thread-2010-2015/ Regarding the Body kit: The best place to get the ST parts is from the breakers on eBay, your focus is a Mk2.5 model 2008-2011 the zetec part doesnt matter its just spec. Regarding the wheels👇 🙊Bigger is not always better when it comes to fitting 18's alot of people don't mention increased "unsprung mass" Unsprung mass is basically everything which is attached to the vehicle that is not supported by the springs. The less weight of the unsprung mass; the faster the vehicle will be or atleast more responsive. Fitting bigger rims or bigger brakes discs or even calipers all contribute to the unsprung mass of the vehicle which reduces the free rotation and can wear out the clutch prematurely aswell. I've gotten first hand experience with increased "unsprung mass" when I upgraded my 16x7.5 wheels to 18x8 wheels the larger heavier rim looked the dogs swingers for sure but truth be told they also reduce the take off speed and responsive acceleration, The 8" wide rim reduces the vehicles tight turning angle causing you to dip left before turning right at times much like a formula one driver to take tight turns. Tyres are at minimum 100 pounds each if you are expecting them to last you 12 months, there's no option of purchasing a partially worn 225/35/18 neither that don't happen like it do with 205/55/16 sized tyres. On the positive side though; 18x8" wheels offer fantastic handling on the road when combined with good tyres you can get up to 45mph on a medium sized roundabout the lateral grip is fantastic, also on the motorway 140mph is as stable as 20mph there's no feeling like your coming through the Ozone layer in a space ship type judder it's plain sailing all the way. overall if your prepared to spend 400 per year on tyres and don't mind losing the ability to spin the front tyres outside McDonald's on a Friday night then 18's are definitely fun especially on the bend's. perhaps take up oven tray drifting instead😉saves the tyres Regarding Lowering If your persistent on doing somthing to improve your focus in terms of both style and performance then I highly recommend lowering springs. I've had the Ford approved eibach lowering springs fitted and it takes a few weeks for them to fully bed in but when they do; they make every journey more fun, the vehicle becomes very predictable in corners and doesn't sway like an elephant on a tricycle the top doesn't lean as much aswell as a reduction in understeer, being ford approved lowering springs they don't cause the chassis to scrape on anything ever, I've toured the country done over 100,000 miles lowered and never scuffed the body. The only negative point about lowering the car is the camber😁; some people are not aware of the excessive negative camber which needs to be corrected, Correcting the front camber can be done without changing any stock parts, however the rear camber bolts need swapping out for a set of eibach adjustable rear camber bolts, they cost under 30 pounds and allow the hub to be adjusted so as the full surface of your tyre is making contact with the road but with a marginal offset lean towards the sky which is ready for the lateral G when doing 35-40 on the roundabouts without slipping out on you. After lowering the vehicle and fitting the adjustable rear camber bolts; i highly recommend have the laser tracking alignment carried out at your local tyre specialist, The service costs around 40 pounds takes about an hour and prevents your tyres prematurely wearing out on only the inside which looks like this👇 😥Regarding the exhaust: The ST exhaust won't fit a regular focus because of the spare tyre well consuming the space where the ST or RS muffler resides. A full catback exhaust which replaces everything from the catalyst back to the tip or tips will cost you between 400-450 in T304 Stainless steel. You currently have a single exit mild steel exhaust as standard, the exhaust your looking for is a duplex, here's one available off the shelf from Piper Performance in the UK built from T304 aircraft grade stainless steel making it super light and never rusts. It's designed to fit to Focus ST exhaust hangers which do bolt straight in to your focus and replicate the genuine ST exhaust, there are a range of tips available including ST replica ones if desired. If you need any more advice feel free to post it on Here or if it's relating to one of the guides just post the question in the relevant guide and myself or a fellow member will respond within 24hr's 👍

Go to a dealer and test drive a few different models, if you've not been in one you're only going off someone's opinion of the ride (I find it fine) and the symposer noise (is also fine), what other people don't like you might find you do, you won't know unless you try one. A short test drive isn't worth doing either really, needs to be long enough to get a good feel of the car and on a variety of roads. Not sure why you would take the spoiler off, you could change it for a lower spec models. you could get a less sporty spec with a 125ps (might be able to get the 140ps), which is probably more suited.

im still in 2 minds tbh, cz i wanna get my exhaust done. like lenny's, one on each side. the guy told me he could cut the bumper n put them thru. but im thinking it look better if it has a diffuser on it.

nice one mate

Quick update. Car is back at AET Motorsport in Leeds on Friday 20th January to have a few issues with the map looked at and go for more power! You can find a few videos of the exhaust here; https://goo.gl/photos/QJ3NyCuE1YNs8rKKA Ive also purchased a set of powerfold mirrors for £50! . I'll be having these activated by the same company that activated my cruise control, OBDiscovery Will hopefully be putting it back to standard and selling everything including the car towards the end of the year so if there's anything youre after get your bids in! ;)

I'd go along with that - my 1.6TDCi has just over 120k miles now and still going as strong as it ever has (touch wood). Some money spent on timing belt, sorting out the DPF and EGR but otherwise nearly faultless in the nearly 9 years I have had it - long may it last.

Leather seats are not fun for dogs. They offer no purchase for paws and you end up being flung into the door panels every time your human corners, being thrown into the foot well upon braking and sliding backwards when accelerating. Not to mention the motion sickness leading to random pools of dog vomit Also dog vomit is particularly troublesome to get out of the window switches, even with the tiniest of detailing brushes Brandy was quite relieved when I swapped the full leather interiored slippy BMW 740 for a fabric interiored non-slip Peugeot 406 - no more sliding about and colliding with door panels.

Well your questions have been answered. I'm a former semi pro car hifi installer from back in the 80's and 90's. I've got a post on here on a simple but massively effective. I can't remember the title but it's along the lines of ' my cars hifi install' To improve sound no end without changing any speakers etc is to sound deaden the doors. Cover as much of the door skin as you can with the stuff. Your headunit is the same as I had by the way. Have you got your focus yet?

I'm a bit anal when it comes to my MP3's on the Sync. I don't have any albums, just podcasts, which i've split down to 5 minute tracks. Then again if I did have albums, the tracks would have to be in order of the album. Trance music for example, they tend to blend the tracks together. So imagine listening the them alphabetically ... would sound like a jumbled up mess

Can't say I didn't look out the Window to see mine was still there after reading your post there 😁

It's such a shame really, if they'd got VW to write their maps they could've had more power and economy without worrying about the emissions!

Well the CEUK dipped and high beams are halogens anyway. They had little to zero light output compared to the Osrams. The only thing I have that are leds from the kit are the sidelights and fogs. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

no way would i buy a focus 1.6tdci with 80k on it. even if running perfectly at the time of purchase , cambelt , pdf & egr valve are all fast approaching on the horizon for replacement , and are all £400+ jobs. not to mention the injector leaks and the need for 6k oil changes. i'd consider swopping vehical if im being truthful and it sounds like the previous owner off loaded the car at just the right time before the big bills came. that engine was always a complete lemon in fords line up.

lol

Is that there them new anti-gravity fiesta's

6500K seems a bit blue? You get less usable light output over about 5000k (xenon). Also these aren't legal (won't have E mark). To others looking, in the interest of not dazzling others, should you decide to use them, make sure you have the projector style lights (most Fiesta above the very basic ones do) and keep your headlight clean. OEM LED systems usually have headlamp washers equipped. Still nicer looking the halogen, don't want to be a total party pooper. :)
