Got a set of wheels! BBS replicas with continental and fallen tyres fitted

Got them locally for a decent price, should look really nice fitted to the focus. Going to rattle can them all black though and replace the centre cap with bbs logo

Also ordered up osram cool blue headlight bulbs, led sidelights and diadem indicater bulbs front and back.

Going away to order a cover for the boot and a scratch protector for the rear bumper to stop my dogs messing up the back

Looks nice, I fancy a mk3 estate to replace my cmax when the youngest is out of her push chair.

Got some jobs done!

Got the wheels sprayed satin black and replaced the centre badge with a carbon effect BBS one.

Also replaced the bulbs. Osram cool blue main and dipped beam. And osram diadem indicater bulbs front and back

Fitted a rear bumper scuff plate. Can be seen at the bottom of the boot lid

Not the best pictures was really overcast but you get the idea

Yeah i know what you mean.

I really want them anthracite but just rattle canned them black to get rid of the red rim. Once my shoddy paint job starts to fail ill get them powdercoated

Did a couple of things to the wagon.

Lowered it 25mm on eibachs. And powdercoated the wheels satin anthracite.



De-chromed the top grill. Sprayed the ford badges black and fitted black ford badges. Sprayed the fog light surrounds black

No pal i left mine chrome. It looks ok on my motor cause its silver. But on other colours the chrome does look horrendous.

If you want to do them black im pretty sure the best solution is to plasti dip them? I did briefly look into doing mine black but as far as i can remember, others have said the chrome trim is an absolute pig to remove? Think it involves removing the door cards and taking out the window? So i just left them chrome cause they blend in ok with the silver paint. But if i did have a different colour car say red or black i would of changed them to black 😃
