2009 Focus ST3

[brad ukcarscene]

Since i've started posting on the forums, I thought I would share my car with you. It is a 2009 (59) Ford Focus ST in the rare pearlescent Electric White.

Purchased in Feb 2015 completely standard with around 42k miles on the clock. I did expect insurance to be through the roof (didn't really check before I put a deposit down) what with me being 21 at the point of purchase, but was about the same as my Fiesta ST150 that I had before! Here's a photo when I put the deposit down, old & new together



Anyway, after my two years of owning it for two years I have done the following:

Cobra 20/40 springs, lowers and makes it sit level!
Mongoose Stainlness Turbo Back Exhaust System
Bola B1 Alloy Wheels
Triple R Composites Finned Rear Difuser
Triple R Composites Front Splitter

Also a few small bits such as wind deflectors, mk3 ST badge, custom sunstrip etc..





I was thinking about starting on performance mods, but now i've moved out my parents house I think it's going to stay as it is. Also flew through MOT this weekend which is a bonus!

Very nice, don't see many in pearl white.

I've got a euro reversing light on mine (2010 PB ST3) to even up the rear a bit.

Very cool, must be super rare, showed my mates who are ford fans and they have never seen one!

I was thinking about getting one of those, is it a pain to do?

Its obvious when you look at the light but it just unclips from underneath the bumper. Just fit a red bulb. I did try a red LED but could never get it to work & didnt want to do any wireing.

This is mine:

Very nice. 1st mod I would do if it were me would be the block mod. This is because I just had to get a new engine for my S60R and it aint cheap. Block mod before engine mods.

Very nice mate, as said if your belts are due then have the block mod carried out as well, that's certainly what I did. Then get it mapped with an intercooler. Will make a very nice change in power along with your turbo back mongoose system.

I clicked on here half expecting to see some horrible modded monstrosity.....but...it looks great! Dont do anything else! It looks great as it is, quite subtle yet beasty!

[DanielSan]

Definitely one of the nicer ST's I've seen for a long time, especially as you haven't joined the competition that seems to be on with owners seeing who can fit the worst possible graphics.

[brad ukcarscene]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys

As far as it is looks wise, I am happy with it how it is now, I may be tempted to get a few bits done in the future but that'll just be some little things

Probably get the block mod done whenever it needs the belts doing just to be safe, but I probably won't end up remapping it or anything. Hopefully going to get to some Ph Events this year if I can get on a Sunday service list!

All lovely apart from that sun-strip.

Thanks mate, sun strips are quite a marmite thing aren't they? Personally I love it, the logo is the group / page I run so I have to advertise it somewhere on my car haha! It's quite subtle as it's Matt black on a gloss black sun strip it just caught the light in that photo

That is utterly perfect, electric white is my favourite colour of any car, I searched for 2 years to find one
Of these but never had any luck, looks so good.

Enjoy!
