Just finishing a few jobs in this ready for the autosport show. Not sure if I'll be there yet but sounds like it's gonna be an amazing show. Glad for my mate to get into the show. Been a privilege to work on this from the beginning.

Oh no... Look at that poor focus

Sorry mate, not my cup of tea.

djryan25 · 11-01-2017, 07:54 PM

Not everyone's cup of tea pal no. But it is alot for some. It's a show car. He has a everyday car too. Unless your on about mine above that lol

I've seen this focus in some of your other photos and I kind of like it. I admire the attitude that he must have to drive something so bold and outlandish.

However every time I see it I can't help but think the wheels are wrong for the car. With such a blatant in your face Motorsport theme I can't help but think some similarly sized MO5's or TH2's would suite the car better in either graphite grey or white. Heck, two blue and two yellow would probably work!

Theses are the new wheels. Going on last minute before the autodport show

I don't like focus ST's but I really like yours, combination of colours works well, think I'd go back to the original ST wheels though as the RS wheels just aren't made for that car.

That other focus is just stupid, it's like a 40 year old mid life crisis mobile...you've got to hand it to him though he managed to get sponsored by Michelin, Mobil & Sparco.

I've seen some bbs wheels for mine. But I can't bring myself to spend 1800 without tyres yet. I like the rs wheels and I think they suit it. But I don't really want them on to be honest.
I do also like st wheels bit I wouldn't swap back. Would be a different style.

The other Ford is hellish looking IMO. Really like you car

Thought I'd paint the rear wheel so i matches. Then gave all the arch and caliper a good clean. I didn't strip them this time as I've only cleaned one side. And wasn't 100% doing it without the the other side due to how the handbrake works. It was a little last minute.
Used a mixture of tfr. Jays ph mango wheel cleaner. And jays ph fallout remover. Then a few dressing products. When I do the other side I'll go into more depth of the products.

Be interesting to hear your thoughts on jays products, have seen them and was tempted to throw in an order
