Show me your Ford Focus :) - Page 15

Russ! You legend. It's not all that expensive and providing I dont tap it into my bumper to secure it, it's really only held on by double sided tape which should be easy enough to remove.

I think I'll make that ebay purchase and see how I go

Thanks again!

Russ · 22-07-2012, 04:29 PM

No worries mate, I was thinking about getting one for my LV a while ago as well but it's already pretty low in the front with the Kings SL springs fitted, it's fine now but any lower and it may become a pain when negotiating some driveways

ConradP · 22-07-2012, 07:26 PM

It's bendable so it will contour more to the lines of the bar rather than just be curved like mine is. Double sided tape didn't seem to hold it too well for me, so I went with the screws.

Russ · 22-07-2012, 11:01 PM

It really helps if you clean the surface thoroughly first. I bought a box of alcohol wipes from the chemist years ago and I still have a fair few left. They are excellent for cleaning surfaces when applying anything with D.S tape.

Works on the car, but didn't want to stick to the lip, it's a hard foam-ish type material, would just come off under it's own weight, I may have just used bad double sided tape? Not too sure. Anyway, no way that sucker's coming off now.

You gotta love a blacky when its clean

Oh yeah, new rims on Saturday;

They are Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's for those of you playing at home

Nolz · 23-07-2012, 09:54 PM

New rims LOOK TOUGH!

I had a black BMW 1er when they first came out. LOVED how slick it looked after a good days detailing. I just hated how often it needed to be washed. I wouldn't let anyone wash it either as swirl marks and scratches would do my head in. Truly a love hate relationship haha.

DBourne · 24-07-2012, 12:59 PM

Not sure how you remember all your damn usernames JP haha

**DJM83** · 24-07-2012, 01:03 PM

Looks grouse JP.

That's what firefox is for mate! I just reinstalled it though...i think i've lost a few forums now since it took me 20 mins to remember this one

dannyhilton · 06-08-2012, 01:54 PM

The Focus loves a good clean. Just under 6,000km now and she's going great guns!

Nolz · 06-08-2012, 02:42 PM

Looking mighty fine!

luke_` · 02-10-2012, 10:37 PM

Recently painted the rims and grill black - grill originally had a silver frame. I spent just under 100 for the spray paint all up.

harveyr · 03-10-2012, 11:39 PM

Looks like a Me Bank car!

tommygun69 · 06-10-2012, 01:03 PM

anyone know a good product to get rid of swirl marks from cleaning? former owner of mine didn't know how to wash properly it looks like :/

In Focus · 06-10-2012, 08:25 PM

Meguiars Swirl-X or Scratch-X are good off-the-shelf options. If it's just swirls, the former will probably suffice. Always use the least abrasive option first when polishing.

Russ · 14-12-2012, 09:59 AM

It was a lovely sunny day on Wednesday so what better time to bring out the sponges and bucket and the camera

**DJM83** · 14-12-2012, 10:21 AM

Looks tops Russ.

**DJM83** · 14-12-2012, 10:27 AM

Thanks Dallas, just waiting for the stock 17" tyres to wear down a bit more and then the 18" XR5 rims will be going on

Russ · 31-12-2012, 05:12 PM

I've been going to do some under bonnet decorating for some time and finally made a start on it

Before ...

After ....

Thanks Frozen, it's funny you should say that about the bonnet protector, I actually removed it the other week to polish underneath it and I thought it looked odd without it

Mind you when I first fitted it I wasn't too keen on it either but it's grown on me, for now at least

Dshibi · 02-04-2013, 11:44 PM

Haven't been on here for a while so figured I'd post some recent photos...
