Pretty much what i did with my mongdeo, although mine was a cat d, and i got my panels in the correct colour.

slammedorion

I did try but wanted it on the road ASAP.

slammedorion

Here come the pics. Only had the one for now, just off to bed. On nights this week.

Focus estates don't get better than this.

slammedorion

It's back all done.
Just gotta whip the mirrors off at some stage for painting.

slammedorion

Had a couple of spare hours today, although it's been cold, its stayed dry so armed with my kestrel da mop and abit of this, abit of that it's ended up looking like this.

Those wheels can make nearly any car look good. The focus doe look tidy though bud.

slammedorion

Focus is running lovely. Been faultless.
Even done a airport run in it loaded up with the rear tires scrubbing the arches.
No pics but I bet it looked mint rolling up the motorway.
Still gotta mod the rear lights, tint the rear tailgate, and upgrade the ice.

it looks well but I would paint your bump strips

MikeyRobbo

Proof that less is more!

A simple wheel change and lowering and its totally transformed the car!

I want one now

slammedorion

Cheers for the comments. I love it for a daily, does all I need. It's got all the toys, cheap to run and tax. I've recently added a new headunit, fitted a amp behind the panels in the boot so only the sub is visible. Itowes me nothing really.
It looks mint IMO, yes it's slow but never mind I have the Orion for speed!

Its lookin good.

Get looking on ebay for a varible intermittent wiper stalk.Ive just fitted one of these to the wifes focus zetec.They just plug in and thats it.

Ian Smith

What suspension are you running on this? ive recently got a focus estate and looking to lower it about 30-40mm....

Adam31

This looks great, Well sorted estate mate, well done. A nice set of ST170 full Recaro seats would finish it off inside I think.

slammedorion

Just some eBay springs.
55mm drop up front, 40mm drop on the rear plus I've lost a coil and a half somewhere.


FORD FOCUS ESTATE MK1 F55/R40mm Ex-Low LOWERING SPRINGS

Ian Smith

hahaha at losing a coil and a half somewhere, im just looking to lower it a little and tidy it up however the idea of eventually slamming it still boils up at times. just got some mondeo rims for it until i get some proper rims to make it mine. looking at a set of st headlights at the as well but not sure about what to do about the indicators

slammedorion

I just pulled mine apart and satin blacked the insides.

Ian Smith

dya have any problems when it came to removing the rear springs? i cant seem to compress the springs enough to get them out the mounts and most of the other bolts are seized so without replacing the whole underside of the car im kinda screwed.

slammedorion

No problems.
Wheel off, drop link undone, bottom arm undone from the inside. Push down spring out.

Ian Smith

I'll give it a go tomorrow and ill post up some picutres once im done with. ill try to find time to stick some tyres on my alloys as well and finish it off for now

GazzaG

looks good mate, how much was it to get bumper painted, ines peeling cheers

slammedorion

Dunno I had full car flicked over bar roof and tailgate.
Cheers

I just love the look of the TH's on the car Proper look i say!

What's the offset of the wheels? Will it rub on the wings?

slammedorion

16x8 Et25. Fit perfect.

Freeked

But loaded you get rub, right? Meaning, if you go lower, it will rub for sure in every corner....

slammedorion

Picked my mate up from the airport with his misses and two kids plus luggage and a full tank of fuel.
The rears slightly rub'd on the big bumps.
Sits perfect for everyday use, I like to be able to use this car.
I'd love to slam it alittle more if I'm honest.
