So my vectra gearbox went bang, so I rage quit and got a new whip,
Wanted a focus ST but there was a two month wait and I ended up with this with in 5 days, really impressed by it so far, resisting the urge to play with it but there is Mountune after market parts that are "ford approved" so I shouldnt have issues with my warrenty, including a 215ps remap and airbox upgrade.
Its taken the motivation to sort the corsa out tbh, its always going to be a better car.
wasnt long but untill I got the itch,
I then change the front and rear badges wasnt to sure at first but I dont notice them now and it keeps it a little different

Pics don't work
I highly recommend them. They are an absolute blast. 1080kg's so quite light and 200bhp standard.
Focus ST is also a fantastic car, but is a little bloated and doesn't handle as well as the Fiesta.

Does that have the rado grey alloys without the style pack? Looks good mate.
Get some chrome indicator bulbs

Seem to be loads of these around here. Nearly all in white, decent powered cars, built reliably and off the shelf tuning. I can see the appeal, has the front end though

The front end looks great to me. Aggressive and practical if you need to cool an aftermarket front mount.

None st pack think they are the standard colour can only really tell when near one with the pack tbh,
I've never liked dark wheels for some reason so was quite happy I didn't have the extra cost of the pack.
I'm with Ben I like the front end,
Hadn't thought about indicators nice easy fix I'll get on to it

Nice Tom.
Not a fan of the badges. Red font looks weird.

Lovely, have you tried the heated seats yet?
Are you going to vinyl the lower bumper lip in the centre?

Lovely cars. Such tuning potential too.
I'd have gone for black badges with silver writing personally. The orange colour in these is ace!

Love those splitters
Wish I could chuck stuff mods on mine but as I hardly drive it, it would seem a waste to me

Cars not lowered either
Seems fine on speed bumps but will need to be careful parking, it's fiberglass so all to easy to destroy.
Took it down the m1 and it didn't fall off

Very nice. Few really quick ones up my way as Sitech is only 30 mins away.
TRC splitter is a nice touch. I have one on mine as well. Really well made considering the price.

They're big Ford tuners up here and just started to work on the vag range. They were the ones that set up my Cupra once I fitted the new injectors. Simon the guy that owns it runs a few big bhp time attack focus rs's.

changes the footwell lighting to red like all the brochures show, I am now tempted to wire these in to the other ambient lighting so they are on at night, so i can feel 17 again,
few more pics with splitter on, should be some more from trax tomorrow hopefully

Done a few more bits now,
wind deflectors, ST gel wing badge things and black mirror cap (undecided yet)
Plans currently:
Popped in Revo last week to talk to a man about some horses, looking at stage2 (map, intercooler, exhaust, intake)
Rear wiper panel smoothed (did buy one but its not shown up)
