Hello all,

New to FORD!

Looking to purchase my first Focus today a MK1.

Cheap and cheerful untill I find a decent MP3.

Anything I should be looking out for on the MK1 and curious if the MK2 bumper would fit a MK1?

Many Thanks

 

mk1.5 bumper does but not the mk2

 

Service history , rust , common spot for rot on the mk 1 is inside the rear arch linings , seen a few rot right through rear suspension turrets and the rear seat pans . Don't think the mk2 bumpers will fit , totally different car.

 

Don't know what to do.

81,000
1.6 Zetec
Black 3 door
£850 but might offer £700 if cambelt not done and if in need of a service?
MOT August & Tax May

 

I payed £500 for a 1.8 lx 5 door with 81k and full service history

 

Go have a good look around and under it

Incase you don't know , the mk1.5 ( eg mine is the " face lift " model , different grills in the front bumper , indicators were moved from the bumper (mk1) to the headlights (mk1.5 ) as mentioned already the mk1.5 bumper will fit .

 

Hello,

So yesterday I bought a Ford Focus MP3 in grey/silver.
96,000 on the clock
FSH
1 Previous owner
Cambelt and major service done 12k ago so due a oil change
Lowered 40mm
Gun metal grey alloys & sideskirts.

I'm really pleased. The seat doesn't go low enough which is it's only down point but apart from that 90 miles trip home in my first Ford Focus I'm happy!

 

sweet ! First job ... Pop the rear arch liners out and check for rot !

 

Hello, new here also. I have started a thread similar to this.

I think the mk2 (UK) front end will fit the mk1 (uk) front end if you replace the wings to the bolt-straight-on (USA) mk2 2005-2007 along with the hood (bonnet) and headlights.

I am about to do this myself with a mk2 (uk) ST front end.

The 2005-2007 (USA) model is a mk1 (UK) back end with mk2 (UK) headlights.

Can anybody shed any light on this?
