I sold the focus at the end of November, I initially wanted to buy this car before buying the one I did as i knew the car but it wasn't for sale. Then at beginning of November the owner offered it me. Deal done.

The car had changed a lot since I knew it. Lots of stickers but also some good bits.

The bonnet wrap



The engine bay



When I got it home I set about removing all the stickers including the bonnet wrap. Including all the fly eye effects on the lights.

Also removed the mudflaps, and the black wrap on rear diffuser.

Wheels came of and sold. Swapped the carbon effect ford badges for some new o/e ones.

So then had to fit new studs to accommodate the 1.2's so me and DazC did that today (thanks DC) also swapped the miltek onto it from the other focus.

Transferred my own plate onto it too.

Got rid of all the gold bolts under the bonnet and replaced with black. Sold the carbon inter cooler cover and fitted a new ford one. Next mod is AP 6 pots

Taken today.



On rondells



And my old 1, 4501 as it looked when it left my possession.



Andy

 

Nice wheels Andy. You keeping it on the Rondells?

 

Nice Looks much better de sticker'd

 

Looking forward to the updates mate, Will was telling me about this the day after the wedding you went to.

Can't understand why people do chav mods to these when they look good in std form.

 

Looks much better now as already said....love them on the 9" 1.2's, not keen on the rondells though!
Lovely spec with the 6 pots too, any more plans or just enjoy it?!

 

Awesome Andy, just the few touches you have done already look 100% better than it did!

Look forward to more pics and updates mate

Tarren

 

rondells look ugly sorry. dunno if i would have kept it but that bonet wrap was super cool

 

Very nice Andy.. I'd of been tempted to keep the legerras though

 

Nice one Andy I'm sure it was at anniversary meet
Remember the bonnet lol , nice addition to the fleet

 

It was he traveled down with me all he did was clean it all day !!

 

Looks stunning andy

 

WOW beautiful!!!!!!!

 

Will update with more pics today as its day outside my house

 

No mate. They were just to keep it rolling as I had sold the superlegs

Thank you
No I can't either buy I knew it'd soon remove so was happy. Will was a little tender that morning! Lol

Thank you Dave, more power and track abuse also want to change tyres to 235's

Thanks tarren

Not my cup of tea pal, I like the body work to look factory.

Being 8 inch wide at et42 they sat in the arches too much. Shame as they are nice but 18's better for me. Tyres cheaper and better handling

Yes it was mate. I turned up late

It was always clean. It beads like a freshly painted car.

Thanks Lewis, DeNero

 

Tasks it the other one sold mate ? This car looks stunning too

 

I should of got one of these instead of my Moonstone 3dr

Good luck with it

Steve

 

Yes mate. Local lad has bought it. Simple easy cash sale. He was first one to view it

Thanks Steve, why not sell the 3 door and get one. They are superb to drive and be in. I never want to get out of it and have more fun driving it than the mk2 frs

 

As I said mate it looks proper now, wheels seem to look better on this one for some reason.

I am not keen on the writing on the charge cooler rad.

 

Nice one Andy

 

Have no fear nashy. That was removed yesterday. Bit of black aerosol sorted it right out. Ill get more pics once its light.

 

It will be a bit hard to sell when it's in a 1000 bits lol

I will plod on with it and get it all built back up then see how i feel about it

Steve

 

Pic with airtec writing gone.

 

That looks perfect now , love the team dynamics wheels

 

Can we see a pic of it with chavy stickers? lol

 

Looks lovely mate.

 

grate work m8 keep it up

 

Cheers

Only ones I've got are top of the page. Few on screen. Sideskirts, fly eye on all the lights.

Cheers mate. You can see yours has got it's cover on now.

Thank you

Few more pics



Engine bay minus gold bolts and stickers

 

Ha ha only just noticed cheers mate

 

Loads better with the writing gone.

 

What happened to the R5 WPR plate? Might be interested in buying it

Car looks a lot better now!

 

Thanks will. Pm 'carsey' via RSoc site mate. He has it

 

Looking good Andy.

That other RS looks a minter

Are you sticking withe the chargecooler or going for an intercooler? Im in 2minds at the minute..!

Mark.

 

Looks great ,i would have black headlamps in it

 

Mark, eventually ill be putting a front mount on. But not for a while. If I was you mark I'd only get a front mount if I was going to fit a bigger turbo. Charge coolers are efficient. Maybe an updated rad?

 

Thanks Dave. I have some st170 ones that need the amber bit removing

 

Ive just bought a scangauge but not had chance to fit it yet.. So once I do ill have a better idea of what temps im getting.

Ive not got any issues with engine temps that im aware of- it was just that i'd heard a few stories about stupidly high Charge/inlet temps... Ive no plans to go for a bigger turbo so I might just leave it or put a bigger chargecooler Rad on for peace of mind!

Mark.

 

That looks really nice Andy, they haven't really aged at all these cars!

 

The water temp will run over 100 degree 's.. (Normal)

Charge temps will be fine and they don't run hot like you've been told..

Back in 2007... I ran over 300bhp on std cooler .

 

Cheers Adz.

Mark, as Matt says I'd leave it on charge cooler. Mine has an airtec charge cooler rad

 

Mine is running fine on standard cc rad at 360+ and John frs is running 390 on standard cc rad too there alot better than people say the cc setup less lag gt than a2a too
