Yet to pull the head unit out to look at it, though I think it may hook into where the aux input goes - the plug in the glovebox will become redundant I am hoping???
Same item, though lots more pics...

Hi, I am a newbie here. This is my first post. Just got a 2013 Focus Hatch Sports diesel last week. So excited. She slept at the car park for a whole week due to heavy rain(I d like to do paint protection). Dealer offered me $1000 to do it. and car detailer quoted me from $450(1 layer). After quick study, I did paint protection by myself on last Saturday.Total cost me $135.59(incl. all tools and chemical) and 4 hours (2 layers). Coating: Opti-coat 2.0 Check it out. Cheers

Ford wanted $1100 for one replacement wheel, didn't want to spend $1500+ on Mondeo XR5 wheels, and this is what come up for under $500 lol.

Its a driving light mount, you can get them from JAS Oceania, its held in with two M8 60mm long allen headed bolts going into two M8 nutserts mounted into the front support bar.

Had to drill 11mm holes through the front support bar to put the nutserts in, which was a total ***** as its one strong mofo, but the bar doesn't move when you're driving over rough road, its solid as a rock.

If you just screw them in through the number plate holes, all the screws will grab onto is some plastic, and they wobble around when you're driving.

I half expected that you were going to say the Triple R. I've actually ordered one myself.

I was looking at the picture you posted above and was thinking you may have had a different splitter.

Looks great. I just ordered another style. In China these products come from two different places. One is made in Taiwan. Another one is made in mainland of China. Taiwan's has higher quality but a little bit expensive. Mainland's is much cheaper, about from ¥200RMB to ¥400RMB a pair = $30AUD---$60AUD a pair。They all look similar. However you can identify the difference in detail.

Good one. Yeh much better than paying Ford $690
Let us know how you go with the supplied controller. As I said in previous post, if you need to use a relay, let me know and I can supply a wiring diagram.
Cheers.

Do a google search on Triple R Composites......send Kevin an email and he will organise everything for you...Very good customer service and turn around time.

The splitter itself is already formed to the shape of the lower bumper, all you have to do is line it up and bolt it on.....bolts are supplied and holes are pre drilled in splitter
