Hi there every one,

I've owned my '08 LT from brand new and i've decieded that i want to start do little things to it and i need some help?

I've just put a 2 1/4" catback (no resi) lukey exhaust on, but i want some other things, DZFord (sorry to be a copycat here) where did you sourse your rims from? I really like that look even if they are hard to clean. Also i want a CAI but i am unable to find one!! (very annoying)

Also one last thing, does anybody know where i would be able to get a new body kit(nothing sporty just want something different to the stock one)

As the car is not a commordore or a falcon i am finding it hard to find suppliers of things i would like (found heaps on the UK eBay, but want to find stuff locally, you know support australia and all that stuff). I'm in WA so would prefer names of people over here but willing to ship from the eastern states.

Cheers in advance for the help

In terms of performance mods in WA, check out BlackMack Performance or Xtreme Ford Tuning. They will have some information on what you can do.

The main issue you face is a relatively low volume car, so there are not the sheer volume of performance mods available in Australia, compared to locally built cars.

ebay UK is your best friend

There are a heap of CAI for XR5 models (not 100% sure what yours is). Simota, Dream Science, K&N just to name three that I am aware of.

cheers for that.

Sorry should of said, i've only got the CL model(nothing flash here)

Smouch1984 - in that case, I think you are def stuck to ebay.
Wouldn't be a huge mod'ing market in Australia for the CL model.

Hi Smouch1984,

My rims were sourced from the UK (Ford UK).

There isn't a true CAI for an LS/T/V Focus CL, ie. one that takes in air from outside the engine bay. K&N offer a short ram intake (K&N 57i Kit). You can get these off eBay UK for a better price than ordering them in via a local auto store. Otherwise, you should looks at a custom job.

In terms of bodykits, looks at Syndey Special Vehicles. I have not seen these in person so I am unsure of the quality. You can get good quality kits from Germany (european-parts.net).

Unfortunately, most of your mods will need to come from overseas - no one in Aus really makes many aftermarket products for the Focus.

Here's a couple. Bit pricey. There's a guy in Sydney doing F & R and side skirts for $299. I'll try to find his web site too.
