Focus Hatch

[lscfn10]

Somehow never saw those last two posts. Thanks for comments and criticism guys. Sergov, yea that Portugese Focus is amazing. I think 17s are the best size to fill the wheel well but I got these wheels for cheap and widened them to fit, I like the clean simple style, I'll switch it up someday.

But came back to this thread because I recently purchased a different Focus from a buddy of mine. I for some reason really like these cars, and the new car has a much better engine than the last one.

Bought the new one and swapped every part I could from the old one, so nothing really new to look at, just an intro.

Liquid:





Car does have a lot of parking lot dings as its been a daily driver..

Camber fell more positive in the rear on this car. I've rubbed down to the cords in the sidewall on the left rear tire. New tires will be ordered shortly, trying to decide on size. Tires in pics are 205/50R16 all around, I might do 205/45R16, as I couldnt find matching tires in the stagger set up I was going to run.

Got some more recent pics. Not much different just a few little things here and there.

Fellow Jetter! lol

I kinda like the Ivan-esque mirrors actually. I just gave away all my spacers I had left from Chomie and 666STFU or I woulda setup ya up. But LG is looking pretty good, keep us updated

remove the tires and bring her down...

and deff can't feel those rims.

Good to see the addition of a lip. Tired definitely need some stretch.

I think it would be sick if you painted all of the trim pieces (including the chrome on the back) to match that textured black on the side pieces.

i like those seats a lot... as a matter of fact they are gorgeous.



edit: didnt see pg 2!

Jetter here too!!!! i agree with painting the trim peices...an i thnk an svt wing wood better suit it, and it will also be quite nice once u do get your new tires... keep up the good work though...

Nice Focus, its also nice to see some more mid-west stance

[lscfn10]

Thanks everyone.

I'm not sure about the trim. The headlights, mirrors and hatchstrip are all chrome and kinda match, if i painted those black itd be basically back to stock.

I did however just get a Ford Accessories Rear Lip, that will be painted flat black, in the mail today (for the jetters).

And smaller tires are on the way still lol.

ya im feelin this color a lot more. the rims are back and forth on me, but still different. they remind me of the old school wide wheels you see in an old lowrider magazine, which is fine by me! lol

but i think it will be wild with the tire change and the tad more low u will need to adjust to the tires. keep it up! oh and also the car IS clean, but i do like the OEM projectors that the SVT comes with on these. only projectors that actually look good in chrome

[98LowRanger]

Looking good as always Jake! The side skirts were a very nice addition.

[lscfn10]

Thanks Mark.

Staytuned, I love those projectors too but they still go for a lot of money. I really want to get a European light set up so I can throw my euro grill on and not have to worry about the turn signals.

Not sure if I mentioned before but wheels are Simmons Type 670, circa 1990. Judging from the hub bore I believe they were originally ordered to fit a Merkur. They were used last as winter wheels for a fox stang before I bought and widened them. They aren't the best, but they were cheap to buy with a pretty good offset, and imo are a nice clean 5 spoke that are rarely seen.
