Newbie with a CL Focus

Bomberfan · 29-05-2006, 12:58 PM

Hi guys and girls,
Been having a quick look around the forum and it looks fantastic. I have a question about my 2005 Focus CL. Is it possible to fit a Zetec front bumper and lower air dam and also the driving lights? I wasn't sure whether or not the loom for the driving lights would be run in my car and exactly where it would end. I am hoping that it is at least run to inside the dash so all I have to do there is fit a switch, but I am assuming I will probably have to extend the loom where it ends under the bonnet to reach the driving lights. Can anyone provide me some answers?

Thanks

It is possible to fit the Zetec lip and skirts. The front bumper also has a moulding to make the front air dam more "sharper" which blends the lip in.

With the fog lights, Have a look behind the bumper, if your lucky you'll find the wiring, if not you'll have to do seperate wiring and switch to the stock one. If you do find the wiring you'll have to get yourself a LX dash switch.

I'd just reccomend going aftermarket bodykits just quietly.

What aftermarket do you recomend?

bomberfan if you can hold out for a couple months i'm thinking of getting a full bodykit, i could sell my front lip and foglights etc. for a reasonable price as opposed to what you may have to pay from say... ford, let me know anyway

Definitely interested Zetec20 as long as they are off a 2005 model. I'm more than willing to wait a few months for the right parts. I am assuming your car is black? dark blue? as in your picture. Mine is silver but I have a good mate who is a panel beater and can spray them at his work for me. Many thanks for the offer and let me know if/when you are ready to this.

His car is the dark grey.

Personally, Id go with Zetec20s offer

yeah it wil be a few months, looks like a few sales are going through at work plus tax time is around the corner, i've gotta knock the credit card out the way first but next on the list is an aftermarket kit.

I'm guessing you're from victoria?

Yeh, about 30k's out of Melbourne. What year is your Zetec?

mine's an Oct 05 but still the new shape (LS)

its too bad ford didnt include front fog lamps for the current CL. i have a silver CL and it wouldve looked nice with fog lamps. my old LR CL had fog lamps fitted. i asked my dealer when i bought the car if fog lamps were an option, and he said no. i looked at the area where the fog lamps should be, but im not sure if you can take it out. unless you yank it with a bit of force.

From what I can tell all the front bars are the same for the CL to the Ghia (not inc XR5). Its the bottom lip thats different.

You can buy the foglight surround and foglight over spare parts (I can have a look at the spare part number tonight if you would like, no doubt they'll charge you an arm and leg and you may have to wait to get it.

To remove the current panel I get the feeling you could find it in the instruction manual on how to replace the fog light globe.

See if theres any clips from behind.

unless i looked around a wrecker to see if anyone has smashed their focus yet...then i could get some fog lamps cheap...but i dont think there would be many smashed up new focuses yet...not hoping there would be one...
