Getting windows tinted on Monday!!!!

On his car the front side windoes have to allow atleast 70% of visible light to be transmitted from the factory they will probably already be about 75% at a guess so just about any film will make them illegal. Trust me I enforce this! -

Tinting the front windows would make them illegal! -
I used to have a 2005 1.6 115ps Ghia and that much better than that, my current car and ST-2 also achieves better than that!

Buying a 06/07 MK2 Focus. What Model Help?
Archeci replied to Nebb2k8's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Or a Ghia then just change the stereo surround which is what I did when I had one! The Ghia has everything you will need including cruise control, auto lights, wipers, dimming mirror, electric rear windows and global close all stuff you dont get on a Zetec. -
How old is the car? The wheels on my 05 reg Ghia did that and as the car was just over a year old but they changed all 4 wheels under warranty / goodwill. Though I just noticed your wheels are not Ford are they?
-
I've just been looking at this on the Ford website amazing how tempted I would be to change my ST2 for one of these with the 2.0 diesel engine and a great list of options.................

WOW! That fuel economy is little better than what my ST achieves!!
-
The door mirrors will fold, as I fold them on my ST to stop them being knocked off! Just push them a little more firmly.

Bit disheartening (WARNING: YOU MAY GET UPSET)

Think yourself lucky just put my ST in first offered just over £9000 the second was £8900 cannot help thinking costs of fuel and future road tax affect price of my car. I think I shall be keeping mine for some years to come. -

In Feburary 2007 I sold my 05 reg Focus Ghia which was a 1.6 Ti-VCT I got about £7500. I sold it using the following company. http://www.wewillbuyyourcar.com/ or there is http://www.webuyanycar.com/ Why not see what they offer, I'd guess what I got would have been close to trade value but I needed to get rid fast as I was buying my ST privately. -
When mine was last serviced I queried the corrosion check having not been stamped. I was informed that is a service which they now charge for and would be glad to carry out the check if I paid. Needless to say I assume my corrosion warranty is now void!
-
From experience of my previous Focus Ghia which had rear drums and my fathers Fiesta the rear drums seem to rust rather quickly. I used black Hammerite spray on the rear drums and works rather well.
-
I had the colour coded washer jets from Torquestreer for my ST2, I am adamant they were not properly primed or laquered and so the paint started to come off. I have since resorted to rubbing them down and doing them myself, I have achieved a much better finish than they did!!
-
They are all like it, some some extent. Both the ST I have now and my previous Ghia suffered, as did the 52 reg Mondeo I used to have. Cant say I ever noticed on the mark one Focus I had many moons ago.

Looks right to me but try Tezza or your local dealer might be cheaper!!
