So finally picked this up yesterday after being delayed for 5 weeks, the sun held out so managed to get a few layers a of autoglym super resin polish & HD wax on. Also managed a few coats of wheel wax.

For a white car I was impressed with the outcome, paint certainly isn't great though if I had bought the car id be pissed

Any way pics





The damaged or imperfections I should say, found this on the bottom of the read door

There saying it's from a paint run that has been cut but not fixed, being a company car it's probably been rushed as they no they'll be excreted regardless of issues.


Any way opinion on the car? Yay or nay? I'm personally happy with it looks great with the 18's and privacy glass.

Just a shame the interior is so basic :-(

I think the white really makes the side profile of the 4 door look awful! IMHO

I don't know how you purchased the car whether it be a company hack, lease or gift but either way Ford would have it back and repaired.

Jesus!

I never put air in my tyres, never mind check calliper bolts. In fact, i'm close to hitting 55k and still not changed the front discs

Do like the look of the facelift any idea on dates of launch? The new entertainment system looks great to, about time they went to a media centre.

It's a company hack, when it goes back in 4 months they'll have it fixed before it's auctioned off

Why in every post do you have to relate to your car and how much you hate it. How shot it is. How many miles you've done and how much you don't replace? Top weirdo.

Ok trying to find any form of picture of the new MY2015 focus zetec s, had an email to say mine has been gate released and being shipped for PDI. Fingers crossed I'll be taking collection by the end of the month latest.

Trying to find some pictures of one as I haven't actually seen any official pictures of what it looks like. Can't find a single one, 10 points for any one who can
