Hi everyone I was at my ford dealer today looking at placing an order for a ST Line Vignale. I was advised 6 months for delivery but when the sales guy checked the schedule he had access to, it said Focus builds are currently postponed due to sync 4 chip shortages with a TBC for the builds to start again. From the schedule it appeared that the only car ford are building right now is the Puma Cant see a new focus arriving in 6 months honestly

im going to get it checked in the morning, swear I read on here a while back someone with an st had theirs done and alignment made it better for them

As above anyone with the projector style headlights had them aligned or levelled in an MOT station? Using 4300k HIDs and still think the beam is too low and doesn't reach far enough on the road I think these come out the factory set too low, below the legal limit

Its not going to happen, even the guys who work for Ford in the dev centers are saying its all bs, just ask them on fb!

my average mpg has gone through the floor the past 2 weeks, but as Matt says car feels a lot better to drive, turbos love the cold air!

The road surface hides the shadows in that pic, a mixture of mud and water on the road. I think because yours are brighter being 55w it may make the shadows stand out a but clearer aswell.

They look good, very bright. I went for 35w 4300k for the oem xenon look.

In all honesty I dont know but it sounds like a tricky thing to try. I found after a few days you don't seem to notice the shadow anymore.

Hi mate, on the st you will get those shadows with HID'S, it's the design of them. It's like that on mine and a friends st. I'm not sure if there is anything you can do about it. It looks like you do have the bulbs in correctly because the beam in the pic looks normal.

A dealer will want the car for half a day to fit them mate. I've had it done on 2 fiestas. Doesn't them that long but that's the time frame they allocate.

Looks stunning mate , great job

I've read both good and bad reviews about him. I haven't used him before so cant comment on personal experience.

Echoing Marks comments, I'd go for a used door from a scrappies, if they can repair the dent it probably will need re spraying. All that adds up and you may find it costs more than getting a used door

Also need to remember if the 'improvements' we have listed here were added, then the fiesta wouldnt be so cheap and may put people off (By cheap I mean you can pick up a new st3 from DTD for little over 16k) I think Ford got the ST just right for the price. Yes there are options I would like that Ford dont offer, but for the money I think its spot on. (Apart from those awful Bridgestones lol)

For the ST 1. Xenon Lights 2. Another choice of alloys 3. LED's all round (interior and exterior) 4. Exterior gloss black plastics 5. Bigger and better brakes 6. More colour options 7. Heated Steering Wheel 8. Black headlights as standard (like all the press release ST's had) 9. Get rid of the crappy Bridgestones and fit PS3's as standard! ST4 anyone
