My WHITE Focus

[chevaps]

Finally managed to get a few pics of my car since I fitted the Factory Ford kit with a Zetec R wing.

Getting this kit fitted properley caused me so much grief with the first panel beater, with gaps everywhere and paint scraping off the skirts which werent fitted correctly and rubbed when the door opened. They wanted to just brush touch it and literally told me to get F***ed when i told em i wanted them redone with enamel. They even had the nerve to ask me to call back when i got my spoiler in, so they can give me a quote for painting and fitting.... :

When i got my spoiler, my faith in that not all panel beaters are dodgy K**Ts was restored, with another panel beater which does all the warranty work for my Ford dealer offerring me a good quote, and only charged me $50 extra to fix EVERYTHING that those other pricks messed up. When i got the car back i was gobsmacked :

Its nothing unique or anything, but its the first white focus ive seen with a kit fitted. All my mates and even the 2nd panel beater commented on how nice the wing looks on my car and the kit in general. Im happy with it, and it should look even better when i get my H&R springs fitted, with the skirts sitting closer to the ground. Should only be another 3 weeks till they arrive. Cant wait.

Hopefully these pictures will change the perception of white focus’ by particular people (not to mention anyone in particular…. MATT!!! _ ), and how they should be left in the dealer lot. Im not sure how good these pics will pan out coz they were taken on my phone on the lowest resolution to ensure they wouldn’t be too large and could be posted, but if when I post this they turn out crap, ill have to try a slightly better resolution on my phone within the next couple of days.

Hey there!

The car looks fantastic, well done for persevering and getting the quality job you deserve!

I love the white too, always been a fan, not sure what it is, maybe because the WRC Focus is white (under the many stickers) too!

You need a Eurofordclub sticker now to top it off! :monkes:

Sensational! I love it! Can't wait to see it lower. Top dollar for being original. REally does look good. I just odn't like basic white cars with no mods, but I never mentioned that a modded white car looks amazing. I would honestly buy the following 2 cars if I had the cash...

A White Focus RS... dammit I'd spray it white if I had to. I'd have trouble keeping the OZ Racing stickers off it though... mu ha ha ha

A White Ba Falcon XR6T - The sexiest white I have EVER seen, perfectet by some tasty rims, red calipers and a nice trick leather trim in a contrasting colour.


This is the first and last time you'll ever here me say this, or write it anywhere..
MACHINE SILVER IS A BASTARD OF A COLOUR to care for. My next car won't be metallic. Whilst it's a honey of a colour, I just need a break from the brain damage of owning a metallic car. I wouldn't say no to a white one. I'd actually (Tim are you sitting down?) VERY seriously consider a Blueprint MkII ST if they ever came out, or just a MkII Focus in that new darker Blueprint colour, a darker shade of Blue Flame. I think it really suits the new MkII. That combined with a nice two tone black leather trim and double blue stitching on the seats, door trims, wheel and gearboot/handbrake boot would be classier than anything and stand out just enough to make me drool.

But back to the topic, can't wait for bigger pics mate, that loook fantastic!!

Ok, we've had a few rainy days here in Perth, so i waited till it cleared up a bit. Today was a nice sunny day so i gave the car a nice wash n wax but unfortunately it got a bit dark when i finished. But i still got some photos before the sun set, and yes, these are bigger. Ive even included an interior pic to show my latest edition, sparco aluminium pedals, as well as my gear knob which was added ages ago.

More photos to come in broad daylight....

Hey man, thats a really nice car! i love the focus when they have bodykits and cosmetic enhancements. That car is screaming for rims though... which im guessing is next on your list. That might explain all those dark black marks on the carpark in the background... out:

[chevaps]

Teki, H&R springs are next on my list, which should be here any day now.
Once they go on, im tossing up between rims or get some go for the car, namely extractors to complement the cat back already bolted on. Ive been to D&T already and they said it should do wonders for the car when it gets bolted on.

RIMS, if you're most of the way with the kit and the springs, make it look perfect with some nice 17's. Perfect size, not too much and still well priced.

After that get some mods to the engine. But you can't drive a car that looks that nice to not finish it off!

[Timmeh]

Car is looking good! Because you already have some alloys, I'd probably do engine or suspension work first, but either way, it's looking good!

my 10 cents, dump it a couple of inches first, then add your exhaust, then see if you need the rims to top it off.
