Hi,

You've not seen how people greet TT owners on here, have you Jimbo?

Enjoy the car in good health, let us know when you make any tweaks. There's more than one Focus fan on these boards already.

Cheers,
Nik

He has as much right as you to be here.

I am a fan of the focus, especially the new one, much nicer looking car than the new WRX.

Kids these days, Jimbo, kids these days!

I know SublimeFoz is a fan of the Focus as well. One of the blokes here at work has an R-Design Volvo C30T (Which I believe is the same engine?) - I bloody love it. So nicely finished. Goes alright too, I was surprised how solid it was when I took it for a wrap.

Cheers,
Nik

Do like the shape of the focus' they look phat from behind and sweet up front too.. Shanes old one; and his new one, was/is bloody awesome.

As shazz said VHT is really quite good. But depending how thick coats are, one might be enough.. Just sayin be careful not to overdo it :)
Or alternatively, there's this other stuff which is a special kind of tint.. but I can't find where I saw the link to it here on this forum.. Someone else may know.


Looking forward to updates!

Dan

I was trowling XR5forums and found those same photos when i was looking it up a few days ago. I dont think im game enough to go as dark as you have, Shane, but i definately like the look. Im going for a look with dark features to compliment the silver. I kinda feel like the silver can be a hard colour to work with, though.

Not real keen on a spray on tint. This time round im going to take time and care with mods, i feel like i have rushed in the past too much!

Nice one Jimbo, a few subtle mods should really change the look.

Not my cuppa tea but I can understand why people like them.


BTW, needs more towel rail.
:P

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
