  1. Side mouldings are stuck on. Mouldings carry an adhesive strip along the top and bottom edge. There are also lugs that locate in holes on the body, but these are more for alignment than fixing.
  2. You could consider a nice mirror polished set of ST220 alloys :) Yep - I'm leaving the fold in favour of the baby brother the Fez ST. Ordered the car today, so wheels will be up for grabs soon. 4 good conti tyres with less than 1000 miles on them, and somewhat unique in that they were quite recently polished up with matching centre caps. :)
  3. This is a known problem - but was never considered sufficient enough to warrant a recall. I had the exact problem myself about a year ago. The washer jets arent sealed at all rather sadly (try removing one, its a little too easy). As a result the the dribbles in directly over the plugs and causes breakdown in the plugs and leads. I havent had the problem since, but should all be sorted at the dealers expense.
  4. No confusion - the sport S has been about for ages, and is just a cosmetic rework of the sport. Colour coded spoiler....blah...blah I haven't seen many on the road, but frankly I dont think the extra money offered enough in return.
  5. Whatever you do - dont seek the services of any alleged master craftsman that may be pimping their services on focus related forums....a big expensive mistake for me! As for the boot trim - easy job. - Open the boot - Undo the two torx screws located in the two handles either side of the black trim on the underside of the boot lid (Hope that makes sense) - A quick yank to to unclip the trim gives access to the rear wiper motor etc... - Remove the connectors off each of the number plate lights - Disconnect the boot release mechanism (small clip-plug affair) - Undo the four nuts holding the
  6. My glass rattles at certain heights too :(
  7. If you can get hold of a decent pic, I'm sure we can dig it out.
  8. Really looking for a close up, but will see what I can turn up.
  9. Craig if you can get a close up of the MS Design grille up here, we can probably narrow it down.
  10. Got mine on ebay from ultimate lighting - about 12 quid as I recall.
  11. Sorry - could you take a pic of your front grille? :)
  12. I'm pretty certain you cant get anything from MS designs, but can probably turn up a close second. Do you have a close up of the said mesh?
  13. As p5byn pointed out you need either a low to high level converter to up the signal from your speaker feeds, or alternatively an amp with high level inputs. Blaupunkt used to have these on a lot of their amps, but I havent gone down that road for a while so might need a bit of investigation.
  14. I'm definitely going to go for one I think. Just got to do my sums now and see what I can get. I may hold out a bit and put together a bit of extra lolly to add a few niceties. Think I'll get the car lowered at the factory this time, just for convenience more than anything else.
  15. Judging by the pics, its only the centre console that has changed. Just pick up another console to fit the Sony in your new one. They come up on ebay for a fiver! :)
  16. You'd think I'd have looked wouldnt you! Thanks :)
  17. what do you mean if they have seen sence and done away with the 1.4 ? not every one wants a fast car alot of folk just want a cheap reliable car to run around in . my ex car was a stage one s14 200 sx running 220 - 230 bhp and i can tell you power isnt the be all and end all . i think the 1.4 is what its designed to be a comuting car which is cheap to run and a very good addition the ford focus line up so there lol :lol: All power to pride, but I'm amazed it can move. My 1600 struggles. I'm no speed freak, but the extra weight of the MK2 against the MK1/1.5 really doesnt bode well for 1.4.
  18. Giving me ideas isnt helping! :)
  19. I wouldnt by an ST or ST variant, simply cant justify it, no matter how much I would love to. Would be completely impractical, as I'd never want it to leave my driveway :)
  20. I would imagine they will open the range up with the facelift. Restricted to the best sellers now. Saying that, they may have learnt their lession and done away with the 1.4 if they have any sense. You'll never see a Sport burning up the quarter mile.....but if you did the 1.4 would still be hobbling out of the motorway services some 20 miles away :)
  21. I'm considering an upgrade. I've had my humble 1.6 Sport for almost two years. I am a little less green after these two years and know what I am looking for a in a new car. I am currently thinking along the lines of a 2.0l Zetec Climate, Privacy glass, ice pack etc..etc... Problem is with the facelift looming and the luxury of a privelege discount.....should I wait? Comments welcome :)
  22. Dreamscience threatened they could do something for me - might be worth looking into.
  23. Might be worth reading the spraying faq in the exterior section. Gives a bit of info on spraying flexible plastics :) I really wish I'd had the foresight to go down the bodyshop route now :(
  24. Jo - are you getting a bodyshop to do the coding? Just one word of warning, I tried fitting my colour coded top sections a few weeks ago. Sadly due to the fact the plastic is slightly flexible, and the 'sprayer' didnt take this into account......the paint cracked almost immediately. Hopefully you wont suffer at the hands of such lousy work! :(
