Someones robbed your rear wiper. Its the same colour as the wifes. Get some rust protection on them rear arches whilst they are still in good nick.

rs clint

3dr focuses dont seem to be as bad as 5 door focuses for some reason. I sort of repaired and repainted the wifes focuses rear arches the other weekend. A rear wiper motor wont be dear matey.

Get an intermittent wiper stalk from a focus ghia and fit it to yours. Thats if it doesnt have it already. I also fitted a rear interior light to to the wifes focus. Also I fitted a colour coded grill to hers last weekend tooo.

Got the stalk I was flicking it down the motorway wondering while wiper wasn't working lol cheers glenn I will sort one tidy her up a bit boot spoiler needs respraying and wheels need tidying up

So you have a stalk with the differnet intermittent speeds on for the wipers??

So with it been a 1.8 does it have discs on the rear?

rs clint

Yeah intermittent stalk will see if there's some wiring in boot and get a motor and arm ,drums on back but big calipers on front vented discs brakes real well

stuboy

nice lil focus

cheers mate

Or right cool. The focus we went to see was a 1.8 16v esp. That had discs on the back. I wonder if your front brakes are the same as the st170. Normaly the caliper carrier (the part the pads sit/slide on) is part of the hub.

rs clint

Maybe Glenn had a play earlier put some white stripes onlol

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Are the white strips still on. I hope they dont look naff.

rs clint

Haha yeah they look ,not to math lol

Comic lol. So what happend to the manta.

rs clint

Took stripes off mate to much of a nice car to spoil it ,manta wrote off front demolished the slam plate cross member front legs bent radiator in a v shape and against the front pulley lol,sold it to a lad on manta forum

Glenn_

Good lad. It would look naff with the stripes on.

Shame about the manta.

rs clint

Thanks glenn well at least I'm back in a proper car ,well a ford at least lol

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

I will be honest and ive said it time and time again. The focus is properly 1 of the best cars ford have ever built. Ford must of done something right cause its the best selling car in the world.

Eyes on a rs focus next I reckon

Mr money bags here lol. I do like the rs focus mk1. I think its mad that the ST170s have a bigger spec than the RS.im still suprised you dont get a heated front screen in a frs.

rs clint

Ha ha not for a while matey that's why I had to buy a standard one for the time being ,does the rs have heated front screen

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

The rs focus doesnt have a heated front screen. I think you should get a set of dark st170 head lights for yours.

rs clint

Maybe mate where you get them from Glenn ,wheels need refurbing don't know whether to go mat black ,white ,or stick to silver

rs clint

What colour on wheels lads or shall I leave them silver as they need refurbing

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Look on ebay for the st head lighys. Stick with silver matey.

Black wheels have been done to death.

rs clint

OK matey keep it pretty standard looking as its a good example

I just think they look smart.
