Newcott, Hey mate, after looking at the picture Kevin posted, I do like the colour coded version better - but I have a chrome grill :? ... So will have to see how it looks :) I haven't even looked at the price of the CC bumper lol! ... . you have an idea Newcott? Cheers all, B

Blimey, theres' me thinking WD40 was a wonderful thing ! :shock: Thanks to you all for the comments and useful tips!! :lol: Cheers, B!

Hey all, When I purchased my car.. I didn't really want to change anythink major to the body work.. as I think the MK2's look pretty damn good!!! 12 months on, all I've really done is changed the wheels and done a few tweeks in side the car. I've now fallen in love with the Focus CC front bumper! . . Which I think is called " Ford Appearance Package 2 ". I've noticed there's 2 types of CC bumpers... one with/without the chrome parts (pic below). I know one person on this forum has the appearance pack fitted, but has anyone else got any pictures of their CC bumpers? Also, do yo

focus550, Thanks very much for that mate!!! In fact, I'm pretty glad you replied so quickly.. otherwise.. tomorrow morning.. those doors would have been dripping in WD40 :D me thinking " ARRRRR THATS DONE THE TRICK :P" Thanks for the advice mate :D Cheers, B

Hey all, Just lately this has been bugging me .. big style! When you open the car door.. Sometimes if you let it go and it flicks back until its completely opened.. mine gives off an annoying " creek creeeek" noise.. on all 4 doors :cry: ...... Could applying WD40 help prevent the creeky doors? Cheers all, B:P

LOL!! I'm not worrying about losing as much weight as possible :lol: . .. . I'm just curious if a 16" wheel would ride OK if the other wheels where 18"... If the answer to the question was a NO, then there would be no real point in me carrying it around in the boot would there? .... on the plus side, it would reduce the amount the weight the car has to carry lol :) Cheers B

RR right thanks for that slacker.... unlucky for me.. I dont have either of those policys :oops: So does anyone out there know if I can stick a 16" wheel with 3 other 18" wheels and drive around with it?.... orr is that 16" spare wheel dead weight in the boot? Cheers again, B

Everytime I open the door, i always have a sneaky look down .. and then a sigh of relief.. " arr they are still there :D " .. I've got this feeling that one day, I'll open the door and it will either fall off.. orrr its just vanished! lol! Really do look good though.. well worth it !!!!!!!!! B

Yeahhh, couldn't be any easier!! Basically.... take them out the box... give the area where the Scuff plate will be placed a good clean .... get the scuff plate.. peel back the yellow sticky stuff.. and stick it down :D ... Took me 10mins.. If that !! looks great! Cheers, B

Hi all, Currenlty have 18" Ford Alloys fitted..... the spare wheel in the boot is just my standard 16" wheel size. If i needed to change a wheel .. could I put the 16" on and " drive home " or would that naff the suspension up? - and give me a weird feeling im going to tip over..? Reason why i want to know is, I'm going from B'ham to St.Austel, Cornwall next month.. shall be 4 of us in the car + lots of bags!!.. Trying to save on the weight.. . :wink: Any advice is welcome :D Cheers All ! B

RR I've just purchased some scuff plates from Allen Ford :D They look amazinnggg.. welllll chuffed :P - Thanks Jo@AF ;) Cheers, B!

Hope you all have a fantastic time!.. Take lotss of snaps! Sorry I couldn't make it ! B

HEy Seb, Thanks for the post! - Would of thought more people would of posted by now :roll: :lol: They look amazinggg though, I wouldn't care about the turning thing, as long as thay work as the standard ones do.. I will be more than happy :lol: Cheers, B

Hi all, Right, I am no good when it comes to naming car parts orr re-fitting new/old parts, so I'll post a few pictures so you understand me better :lol: OK.. at the moment I have a focus SPORT which came with these standard front headlights : I think the name is HALOGEN ?? - I may be wrong. As you can see the headlamp housing is 'CHROME', I have seen quite a few pictures from this website with the BLACK 'tinted' housing. - which look great! My questions are: I have seen a w/site which are selling the black headlamps for £82 each - but the bulbs look differnet to mine? The ti

hey oldcruiser, i have the Sport model (vertually same as LX).. I find the steering pretty light... espically on motorways. :roll:

What does the CLIMATE control actually do lol ? :oops: B

Think my insurance already states I have the Thatcham Cat 1 :oops: :roll: Thanks for the advice though, will have a look around!! Cheers, B

RRRR thats ok then Timto01.... Got me a little worried for a moment :wink: :lol: :lol: B

Nooooooooooo I dont have an alarm! - Damn that p*ssed me off! I thought all cars come with alarms as standard! :? :? Even my dads N Reg Mondeo LX has an alarm :shock: Think in my insurance i put that I had a Thatcham Cat 1 :oops: B

It was just a basic swap.. infact, I took it to Kwik Fit n for 20quid they balanced them... checked the pressure and fitted them + 4 free silver dust caps! :) Didnt know you had to have a limiter on them?!? lol B

i upgraded from standard 16" Ford alloys to 18" ford Alloys.. I cant feel any difference within speed... B

Just wondering, do ALL MK2 Focus's ranging from LX to Titanium come with an Alarm and Immobiliser? When I purchased the car, it had a sticker on both front windows saying: " This Car Is Alarmed and Immobilised " Is that just to warn people off lol?? Thanks!! B!

Not at all, I get on with everyone on my road - Weird thing is, if someone keeps doing it over night, then why not make a good job of it, eg.. Serious damage (God I hope they dont though!).. - Very odd OR its just my luck that two different people on two different days... MMM nice shiney Focus! Really cant believe it though :( B

OMG.. A F***ING AGAIN!!!!!! (excuse the dirt) Is there anything you can cover the body work in that makes it harder for people to sratch it? Thanks again, Upset - B :cry:

Mine clicks when its turned off, but only when I've been on a farly longish journey and the engine is hot. B
