I believe so. It's the same filter for the RS as for all the MK2.5 and the later MK2. The one I linked to above. I received this email from Profile who are the UK importers and distributors of Code:Red and they had this to say: The induction kit for the latest 2008> Focus is currently under development – Ford have standardised the fitment and the one that fits yours is the same as the one on the new RS! Link to the Code:Red part is as above. Pete.

They are Stamford Sports Wheels (SSW) S054 Mist – 18â€

Like I said if it's a brand new MK2.5 then it will use the cylinder style. My baby after a bit of rallying :): Clean-ish: Intercooler upgrade page on ffoc.co.uk: http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... ight=smile Cheers, Pete.

Only know that because I have a later model MK2 TDCi and after the C:R ECU and C:R intercooler upgrades I've been looking at more "gifts" for my lovely car! :lol: :oops:

The newest Mk2 and all the Mk2.5 uses a cylindrical filter for both petrol and diesel. Different from the older Mk2 which used panel filters. Standard - Ford part Code:Red (Raid HP) - Needs some trimming to close the airbox K & N - Direct fit Pete.

Or just the grilles: Lower: http://www.european-parts.net/catalog/p ... cts_id=823 Upper: http://www.european-parts.net/catalog/p ... cts_id=822

You can get these from Ford or from European-Parts.net. It's the Ford apperance Package: http://www.european-parts.net/catalog/p ... cts_id=820

Before:

Yes, it definately helps. The stock intercooler is rather small and with the increased boost you get from the ECU upgrade it just doesn't cool the air enough in some situations. I had the ECU fitted first and noticed that after a while I was getting less and less torque. This was shooting around the city, going slightly sideways round corners etc, though. For a motorway run in the UK, for instance, you probably wouldn't notice so much as the COLD air hitting the intercooler would probably be sufficient. But the larger IC does look great! :lol: 8) Pretty simple to fit too.

Yes, personally I think it's worth it. See if they'll cut you a deal if you get the uprated intercooler at the same time as the ECU 8)

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Hey everyone. I remember this was discussed a while back, sorry to repeat this but I can't find any of the forum pages. I'm looking at replacing the front and rear ford badges with something a little more interesting. I remember Donovan's MK2 had a silver badge which looked great. Anyone know where these could be bought online? Cheers, Pete.

Hi Dave. I think those parts may be region specific but not sure. What did the UK Zetec and Titanium have for front/rear bumpers? Before the facelift that is.

I think the Australians have the the same mentality as the Americans. They have big open spaces and want BIG cars to match :D The bumper is part of the Ford Appearance Package, similar to the pre-facelift CC but without the chrome. Tezza should have the part numbers and also available here: http://www.european-parts.net/catalog/i ... =58_65_104 It was talked about on FFOC before here: http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... c&t=190669

Thanks mate. Out of the limited options in Thailand they were the nicest 18s I could find. The petrol was dropped to about 40 front and 45 back and the tdci 35/40. I love coilovers adjustibility! :D

Ok. These pics when the wheels were on my '06 petrol, after I'd modified the front bumper. And on my '08 tdci

Yeah, they are that kind of wheel, look great from some angles, not so great from others. I'll post some pics in a moment.

Thanks. Stamford Sports Wheels (SSW) S054 'Mist' 18x8 :wink:

In Thailand we had those from the beginning as standard. My '06 2.0l Petrol: Then we got these as standard in 2008: My '08 2.0l TDCi: I think Australia follows the same designs as us. No MK2.5 for Thailand :( Pete.

That looks soooo much better! 8) But yes, to complete the look I'd get a standard upper grill to match, keeping the silver ford badge of course!

BTW, the fogs are a VERY easy fit, don't worry about that. Just the extra cost... :roll:

Yep, it takes the CC/ST fog lamps. I know it's costly but once I'd put it on I couldn't go back to the old look. I was so happy when Ford Thailand put this bumper on as STANDARD for there later import of Foci. 8)

This was mine with the Ford appearance pack front bumper from European-parts.net and the ST fog lights. Sascha from EP thinks that with a bit of modification you could fit the standard fogs but I prefered being sure. Mine was all colour coded. I now have a TDCI which, in Thailand, comes with this front bumper as standard! No pictures as yet. That isn't colour coded and I'm not going to do so as I think it looks pretty good standard. Colour coded is MUCH easier to clean and polish though! :wink:

my last setup without rear tweeters got complaints cos of no higher range sound. :(

Ok, thanks. Appreciate it.
