OG, the Focus looks great! You should do black rims with a polished lip, that would look killer!

Fantastic car the hatch focus'. Great handling chassis i had a 360hp RS. loved that car but the turbo was about to die so i wimped out an traded it. T28 Turbo, oversized intercooler, Quaiff ATB diff. lapped the nurburgring in under 10mins even with me behind the wheel.

Looks good Og. I just gave my bro my daily driver about a week ago (BMW 318TI Hatchback) and I miss it already. I'm actually looking to pick up another one any day now. I forgot all about the hatch Focus. If you get a chance hit up focusfanatics.com, I'm a member over there b/c my lady has the 08 Coupe.

16" Wheels Installed



Installed wheels and used 3M Headlight Restorer on the foglights. Did a pretty good job for $17 bucks.



I'm loving the offset. The wheels are pushed outward toward the fenders. I also added the obvious exhaust tip for the added 20hp. :o



I'm going to add a DVD receiver and that's about it. Other than maintenance, she's about done. - Og
