i have started to freshen up the focus as it was starting to get tatty round the edges! i will let the photos tell the story!

i started with the front bumper!

filling and smoothing any damage

then rain has stop anymore work there but i will get back on it when we get some good weather again!

i also removed the Focus badge as the silver was all coming off!

then i bought an A4 sheet of carbon fiber vinyl from ebay and got to work on the inside.

before with all the paint coming off!

and all put back together!

then with the off cuts i did this!

i will up date you when i have done some more!

Car looks good mate. Always had a soft spot for focus' specially in black

Dad used to own a 2litre zetec and I learned to drive a bit in that. Thought it was a cracking car. May well get a diesel one next year if I get my placement. Didn't some of the focus' have carbon fibre look-a-like trim standard?

So what's next for the car?
