May I ask, how did you tint your headlights? Did you use film or spray? I used spray on mine and it seems patchy in places, so I'm planning on removing the spray tint and redoing it with either black tint film or fly eye tint.

Thanks mate appreciate it! I used a fly eye like tint, its on ebay and its called 'SpiVision' and the quality is very good, comes with a decent roll of the material and has a fitting kit as well as a detailed video on how to install it! Recommend it!

Sounds perfect mate, I appreciate the recommendation. I've been looking into fly eye tint for some time but people would always put me off it because it apparently looks good from a distance but looks poor up close. Can't look any worse that my spray job.

Yeah no problem, personally I think it looks quite cool up close but from a distance really does make it look good, changes the look of the car for sure!

Definitely changes the look of the car for the better! Makes the front end look a whole lot more aggressive.

Lovin the car bro, black rims makes it look 10x better IMO.

Just started my driving lessons, so this will be me hopefully by the end of the year.

Yeah they were deffo the biggest game changer! Thanks very much and goodluck with your driving. If you have the money you should do some of the things I have as it helps with your knowledge of cars and makes your car personal to you which is nice.

I like it. Nicely done, keeping it clean and tasteful. Only thing I'd personally change or rather remove is the mud flaps. Never been a huge fan of mudflaps on street driven cars. All in all though, clean build.

Yeah since its just a focus making it clean was my main goal, I see your point but for me it adds more edge and makes the back look sharper IMO, but each to their own. Thanks though for the kind words!

Looking good man. Not too flashy and keeping it with class.

Don't ask why, but I was out driving in my car and was thinking about this topic.

I had an idea that you should opt for bigger wheels and perhaps style your Focus so it looks more like an ST or an RS. Obviously parts for an RS would be harder to come by, as well as being more expensive, but even making it an ST replica would be pretty dope. Just go for larger and sportier wheels for a start, then think about getting the body parts that you need, such as sideskirts, spoiler,
bonnet vents, etc.

Nice car. if you are looking to make this car more sporty, Or give it a more aggressive look, Then I would save up money and get yourself one worth putting money into. I had a 2013 370z a few years back, pretty costly, and had a lot of stuff put into it. it is worth getting a car like that to put all the money into vs an older model of something so original lol.

Not hating on the car, Do what you want at the end of the day, because that is what matters. Just a tip.

I might get some down votes for sounding rude, But I do not want people to take it that way. Just saying from experience. Its worth saving the money to put into a newer and more sporty car stock, and building it up from there.

Totally understand and agree, also 370z, damn Im jel. My plan though is to try and get a focus ST MK2, but for now I wanted a car that I was happy with. I smile when I drive it and I never get bored of how it looks so for me that justifies what I have paid for. But being 19 and only closing in on 1 year of driving I can't afford the insurance of higher power cars so hoping to get 2 years out of this if I can. After that though I hope to get an ST or maybe even a toyota celica.
