family wagon.

[jase]

the newest member of the family.
Zetec S 5 door in silver, bought on 12/08/10 standard as they come.
so far just a few little mods.

(idea is for lisa to eventually have this )

removable towbar for the trailer when we go camping(it all swings up behind the bumper so luckily this is all you can see when towbar is removed)...


removed the "focus" badge and added the "S" badge as mine didnt have one...



"connect2" for my ipod as the aux in the glove box dont charge it,took a while to find the right one but got there in the end. i wanted the ipod close to hand but not in full view of prying eyes...
Now you see me...
Now you dont...

hide the nasty chrome effect plastic stone chip guard on the front edge of the bonnet. wrapped in 3M carbon film. removed the strip to do it properly...



swap the steering wheel for a ST wheel(swap the ST badge for the original plain badge)
before...

after...

in the process of making some scuff plates as i dont like the chrome ones they sell. this is just a quick test i did for size so excuse the bubbles and gloss vinyl, the finished items will be done in the mat 3M carbon film...



got myself a set of genuine ford -30mm eibach springs for £70 and had them fitted today for £60.
(pants pics)
well got her back this afternoon, its not settled yet and the drive isnt as flat as it looks but first impressions are that it looks better...

before...

after...


sorry about the pants pics but you can just about make out the difference from the front arch.
will start taking some proper pics again now im a little more happy with the looks.

Some nice little mods there Jase. You leaving the wheels or thinking bigger?

 

[quik97]

looks good when you getting a clio again. thats the important question

 

[jase]

theyre 17" with 205 50 17 on. dont really want to lose the ride quality on a family car or spend much money on it.
if i found some cheap enough i could be tempted though for summer use
need to get one of them refurbed as its been badly done before.

 

[Roy]

Looking very nice indeed
I do like the focus though

didnt get the job i was hoping for,
so not just yet.
hoping that when the new new clio comes out the 200 prices will fall more.

 

[Fernandez]

Looks alright that Jase, some nice little touches.

 

[jase]

Enjoying the ever so slightly cheaper running costs at the moment Tbh
1.6 petrol
40mpg
£120 per year road tax
Group 7 insurance = £234 per year

Needs stripes.

What is it with Fords??? First me, now you

Great little chav wagon you've got there btw

 

[RalphyBMW]

Looks like a really nice example, I do like these. Is it the 115PS version?

Tow bar is very discrete, do like that!

EEERRRMMM... NO thanks.

TBH ive no idea which version it is.;/
no point buying a sporty looking car and then having a big ugly towbar.

 

[Graeme GTR]

very nice, clean car. The focus is a brilliant car, sure you'll love it. Good spec too. The arches are huge, makes any wheel look small. Prob why the RS has monster wheels to fill them.

 

[jase]

These are 17", RS still only has 18" will optional 19".
Could maybe do with some Spacers to fill the arches better though.
