    Hi Guys thought i'd share this with you :thumb:

    Vehicle was booked for some correction and to enhance the appearance.

    A meg cutting pad and 80349 was leaving a great lsp ready finish!

    Not many 50/50 :wall: as it was a hard colour to spot marks and time wasnt on my side.

    The Focus ready for washing after a night of rain:

    Very nice job there!

    Hey, would kind of MPG do those Focus TDIs get? Over here, we're dealing with what we call high gas prices. We're all starting to whine about it and it is affecting our buying habits. I wonder in light of Ford's fiscal woes why they don't just put a bunch of these on a boat and send them over. Does the grade of diesel matter and is the use of our high sulfer stuff prohibitive on cars like these?

    Sorry for the hijack of the thread!

    I see that Ford offers different type of wheels over in Europe...The ones in U.S. look so rubbish...
    Great job on the car by the way.
