Talking Focus goes 2% quicker now with new mods

Well finally done some more mods on my Focus. It was quick and easy to do, now I feel my car goes that 2% quicker. You too can get your Focus like this, just need the money to do it. :thebirds: Seriously now, gear knob was the easiest to put on but the handbrake cover was a little harder. I actually had to use a stanly knife to cut my old plastic one off and then put the alloy one on tapping it down with a hammer it was that tight. At least I know it won't come off from now on. Subtle change but it looks good. The gear knob is smaller than the other one so fits around the hand better. Dream to drive and that little bit quicker

Picture below for people who want to see (camera phone picture but will update when I get my 7.0MP camera off my girlfriend)

I also did the same mod on the same day, it's awesome. Give it a nice touch. Highly recommended, these parts will shortly be all sold out.

Finally got it off...had to make a slit length ways along the top (stanley knife) and jam in a screwdriver to force it off, unbeliveable how tight it was!

Cheers
