Hi Ricasso, welcome and congrats on the purchase.

For bodykit, sedans are a little hard to find bodykits for, but try asking Metro Ford in BRisbane who import ford racing parts, they may have something available from the Ford Racing US catalog to suit sedans. There was no factoy kit to suit LR (your model) sedans here, unlike the newer LS Focus.

As for wheels, they're also a little hard to find, but not impossible.
Look for a 4x108 stud pattern and the following page gives info depending on what size wheels you're looking for regarding offset.

Some places to source alloys for the Focus...

Forum members who may be selling rims (keep an eye/ear out here)

Good post Matt, but just to correct a typo, Tempe Tyres site is www.tempetyres.com.au! I bought my rims from there for my Focus and they ship anywhere in Oz.

ALso most rim companies have rims they call blanks when have no holes, they basically will drill your pattern right into it. I got mine from speedy thats how they did it for me. tempe does that also.
