My Focus 1.6 Tdci Zetec (2010) - Remapped

Stop giving me ideas coz that looks very slick :)

Did you get a whole new backbox and tip? Wonder if it will give any more power or just breathe better.

lol....Cheers bud. :)

Just tail pipe, only cost £50! :D

There's no back box, just a intermediate silencer then a really long tail pipe that goes over the rear axle.

Exhaust is in good condition, so when it's knackered I'll get a straight through. :D

Looking very good there and £50 for the exhaust is money well spent I think given the fact that you can buy the cheap chinese end bits for $10-15, which fall off :)

Thanks mate, exactly plus it's just how I wanted it. :)

A few bits done today.

Decided to make a new colour for the brake drums and calipers. A nice graphite, made from half a tin of silver and half a tin of black hammerite. Came out well I think. :D

Drum before:-

All masked off:-

The plasti dip looks very nice. I think the silver/black contrast work very well.

The calipers look very nice and very subtle. I like!

towing eye seems to be different colour compared to rest of bumper may be its just an illusion

lower rear valance looks superb

  • Author

Cheers, its a slightly different shade. And the bumpers are a different shade to the body panels.....only trouble with silver cars. My old Type R was the same. It's only in certain lights you notice it. :)

How easy does the excess plasti dip tear off? I been fancying doing my bonnet lip/grills/fog surrounds

Will it hold up to a jet wash ok?

I intend to spray them properly at some point but that will involve removing from the car and leaving to dry for a few days.

Wheras i can plasti dip them while they are on the car

  • Author

I didn't have any excess to remove, but looking at you tube videos. It should peel off, and going by Google searches, wd40 will remove it. Again should be ok with pressure washer, just don't go too hard or too close. :)

looking good fella and i like the lower rear valance think I will do that to mine a some point and like the calipers and drums

Looks excellent mate,

The black on the bumper compliments the exhaust tip nicely.

Just been for a b road blast....really do like the handling of the Focus, and the extra torque from the remap. :D

Couple of pics when I stopped at a little industrial estate.

Liking the 2nd picture with the sun in the background.

I would love to have your car and my car side by side for pictures. It would be the dark side and the light side of the Force as they are identical apart from the colour :)

  • Author

I was trying to get a good picture with the sun behind, but it's hard getting good quality.....yeah would make a good picture. :D
