After selling my Focus ST I really regretted not doing a build thread for it, I thought that initially I would keep it pretty standard however things snowballed! This is what I currently have now and have already started tinkering so may as well start a project thread this time. I must be getting old as I love it so far, it's got a lot of options like sat nav, Bluetooth, heated seats, keyless push button start, front PDC sensors and factory rear spoiler which is quite rare to find on a Titanium model I am lead to believe.

Anyway, this is it a couple of days after I picked it up





I started addressing a couple of issues that I was really not happy with, mainly these!



You might be able to see in the first picture that a bit of the Titanium badge is missing, so started on the rear end with removing all badges, painting the chrome surround around the Ford badge and fitting a DMB overlay. I also did what I have done to nearly all my cars, a very light half tint on the clear section of the rear tail lights, might go a little darker yet but am happy with them for now.





Then I had a set of VW door lights in the shed, tried them for size to replace the original reflectors, and believe it or not they fitted straight in. Will wire them in to the puddle lights under the mirrors soon.



And then I thought I'd set about the front end! I purchased a Tit X Sport front valance and grille. I painted it and fitted them earlier in the pissing rain.



I have had delivered today the Sport front foglamps and the rear valance which will all need to be painted before fitting. Next up will be the sideskirts, when I can find some at a reasonable price! I've also got the front upper grille on its way, should hopefully be here by the weekend.


As for future plans, wheels will be refurbished, lower it a bit and a few cosmetic mods. It's not fast and will never will be so I'm not going to touch anything under the bonnet apart from getting it remapped to release a bit more power and some extra MPG.

Thanks for looking
