Subtle Bling (if thats possible)

Thought I would post a couple pics of my latest mod done yesterday.

Was a little bit of work, but I'm happy with the results :1syellow1

Cost $121.00 from Ford Spare Parts (oh yeah, its the LS Ghia Boot Garnish)...

Cheers. Not a huge change, but enough to make it unique

If/When you do the handles will match it all up quite nicely

Nice!

Was your rear bumper strip colour coded with the bodykit?

Are you referring to the bottom plastic part? If so, no, it wasn't colour colour coded. Have been thinking of a good colour to paint it....ideas??

BTW, if anyone wants to buy a brand new 'ZETEC' badge (never been used), please PM me. I will have one for sale shortly.

Was it very hard to fit and what was involved to do it mate??????
Looks real nice by the way much better than the painted one....

No, the thing that you lean against to get something out the boot.

Oh...yes, that was colour coded, as it should be with the LX.

Further to my sale of the ZETEC badge, I also have used FOCUS and LX badges if anyone wants them too...and no, I wasn't planning on putting the ZETEC badge on my car, it came with another badge that will be added to the rear very shortly...

It was a little painful to remove, thanks partly due to the number plate cover on my Focus...was a little annoying to remove!

You have to be very careful pulling the old one off. It has 4 bolts holding it on (easy), but it also has one lug on either end of the garnish that takes some persuading to remove. Just have to take your time.

The number plate lights just have screws to hold them in so they're easy. The boot button grommet also just pushes straight through.

The thing that will take the longest is removing all those annoying plastic screws from the boot lining.

Mine wasn't, only the side strips were.

Just having a look on the Ford website, it looks like the sedan is colour coded, the hatch isn't :(

Well maybe you should have bought a sedan :hihi:

that body kit looks pretty damn good havnt seen one on a sedan before. Im gettin a sedan focus soon and i wanna put a kit wheels lower it and then do some stuff to give it some more balls, even though standard they go pretty hard but some more never hurts. Yours would look awsome with that kit lowered and some wheels.

FYI its factory bought/fitted kit. Russ' car has been lowered below stock ride height also.

Yes, as mentioned this is the factory kit.

Mine is a fair bit lower than standard, which can be fun at times with the bodykit...but worth it!!

You can never have enough power!! Looking at the John Bowe Performance system atm...

Bigger wheels are on the list.
