Hi thanks bro... great pics!!! I updated already (left out 2 though due to the limit of images I can put in a post)

to share some my cosmetic mods

chrome door handle+window lining


DRL (plug & play type by EchoMaster)


metal paddle

Wow... damn nice. I love the chrome window lining and door handle, and DRL

What is that plug & play DRL thing? Will it spoil warranty?

Squall Kay,

How much is the drl ? Plug and play means ? I want the DRL

Where did u installed chrome door lining?? Dammm nice

Congrate
At last our own treat

chrome door lining:

(maybe nowadays can find cheaper due to more supplier offering it. suggest to replace the existing 3M tape with new one with better coverage)

paddle:

Congrats for the new Focus thread... I already test drove the Sport + and i'm really fall in love with it... the interior feel very familiar with conti cars (my mom hv a E46) and the handling is tight and solid... still saving money to get a focus... my target is the Sport without the +

Will we get tax if buying from overseas ? So the DRL is about rm 300 ?

suggestion:
1.remove the 2 big picture on top and replace with 1 picture that got focus and focus st (*hint* ford focus malaysia fb cover pic )
2.remove one of midnight sky picture leaving only one (or maybe you got time to combine the two picture into one)

and tadaa, you could put the two ST colour

awesome bro,

but the echomaster drl is expensive even to US standard from their discussion on focus fanatic forum, how much did you get it?
DIY fitting it?

changing the pedal is a must i think, the standard pedal is too dull

from Aliexpress it will be around RM300-350 figure.

i bought the EcoMaster USD194.25 around RM580-RM600. no tax.

This post has been edited by squall_kay: Jan 12 2013, 09:18 PM

USD194.25.
i sent to nearby shop to do it. RM60 for DRL+pedal+window lining. dont have enough guts to DIY

Bro，will the DRL void the warranty?

local branch here said not as long not involve wire cutting.
better u checked with ur side branch/dealer. this one will be subjective.

So you mean behind the bumper ford already prepared wiring for the DRL from factory?

Still not receive my fofo, SA told me there will b no sport plus come in...waiting 2013 model...he ask me to change to titanium...wat la....and I heard 2013 more expensive than current,donno the truth,really pissing me now.thinking want to change to other branch or other model...............

Any chance to get the car through step-up financing?

its true that car price is increasing in the next 6 months due gomen tax increase on imported cars if im not mistaken.

IF the other side win??

letst see how then~

but im pretty sure that Ranger is getting price increase in mid year if not mistaken.

Thats why my uncle booked a 3.2L beast last month.

Hi guys, about the chrome door lining,paddles, chrome door cover , DRL( even better looking and quality) all i had that.
And the main point is i selling much more cheaper than them, LOL!!
Anything you guys need please PM me. Thanks!!







There are many types for paddles : RS, ST, Auto, Manual







And many others accessories for Ford Focus. PM me if you need anythings

I think i saw this car at elite highway just now towards KLIA. nice one

whole market do not have red titanium + oldi.....

SA told you ? is it just to get you to book your car or tax increase is a possibility? weird that such news coming out when election is just round the corner..

yes, by Trio Mantap fella.

The same i heard for candy red sport+

just wondering if the rear spoiler fit the sedan mk2.5

you open acc shop or just seller ?? do you provide installation services ?

I own a workshop locate at Kepong area,
I can provide installation for all those beside
Spoiler currently, but I can intro a shop for you
To install it if you guys want to
Thanks

Bro
U G PM

UGPM bro..

I notice the chrome line reflected on the my side mirror.... anyone having the sight problem?
My SA told me any additional accessories that tapping the power will void the warranty. Is that true?

This post has been edited by michaelnct: Jan 16 2013, 08:55 AM

anyone install break lock?
do we need it?
what do you do for extra security?

terdit check in

as i know, anything involve in wiring might void the warranty, so better check it with SC first

i didnt install any extra security, full trust on the keyless system

I did check with SC, anything involved power supply will void warranty.
even though plug and play or not open port, it still void.
but one thing is,just found out SC's mechanic selling LED and DRL too
Same things they selling and same way the install it, but they say "its ok"
of course the price for item much more expensive!!
What he mean?

Actually I'm mechanic + focus owner + seller , all i know is the same thing
but because of they work in SC , they are banker........
As i know, ford at other country they mob their focus like crazy,
whatever DRL, LED, Head unit ETC, i didn't hear any complaint beside non-experience
installer, open ports, or LED or Bulbs without can-bus system.
if there is a problem with changing DRL or something plug and play, why there are so
much available stock? Those item sell to who?
who gonna buy it? everyone afraid their car get void warranty, so do i !!
But why people still mob it?

I had sent an email to ford US about this case, why different country different story?
is it malaysia ford's quality lower or malaysia technician don't have enough experience yet?
so if anything happened then blame the aftermarket parts?
That's not fair right? who don't want to make their car looks better?

So bro... Please do something with it, at least send an email.
We have to teamwork, If there only Me do this guess US ford won't give a Flying F*** for it

Thank you, Sorry if my word offend any of you

hopefully positif answer will be given by ford malaysia ? Can post at facebook and ask ? so that there will be more user there to provide feedback as well (i belive there is a Fofus facebook page ....my 2 cents

I'm already post at ford focus mk3 group
So guys lets do something

Why this thread so quiet? Can share with me the negative and positive side of owning the New Focus?

Bro
Actually this treat is sub treat (continuous) from previous ford user treat,, all negative and positive feedback already discuss over there
For me a user for pass 2 months, no major negative feedback owning the car,, only that i just claim warranty on my 3rd brake light (masuk air)

And there is 4 factor why a treat is quite
1. Not much user of focus in the forum
2. No problem on the car (cause people will only post if there is a problem,, and will make noise about it, you dont even need to come here,, just google and can find the negative feedback)
3. User got their own group forum or platform to discuss ie FB
4. And last but not least,, the car is not popular or sell well

Bro Old1030, are you Aziim Wahid?
BTW I'm wai yip.

Hahaha

You got me there, caught red handed
full mark for you

LOL, good to see you there bro.
i'm one of the admin there and now we not accept non-focus owner as member now

Good
That should be the way,, or else it will be public forum already

lol. sis gonna book s+ for me tomoro. lets see how things goes

still not accepted as member for fb group... i dont think random people will apply for member

My rattling problem returned.. same location, at the steering rack. I noticed that everytime the steering position was changed the sound will come. But if I release the lock that hold the steering position the sound disappears..

Hi I did apply for membership last nite...but I'm not a focus owner. It just that I'm interested with the car now and just about to buy. But decided to hold on 1st as i'm researching about it 1st. BTW i'm refering to the all new focus. which was launched last september i think. I need input from the owner as im not satisfy wit comments from ppl who didnt own it but give negative comments...

u have come to the right place.. what u have in mind? let us bust the myth for u.. anything besides SDAC though.. i can say most of the things abt them are true..

Muserella,
I think we have the same symptom an I am going to sc on 22nd. Do they manage to solve it for u last time ? What is u change the steering position ? Will it solve the problem ?

I want to get it rectified but worrying to let them open up my virgin car 😱

Yeah indeed it is about the SDAC, Form google I found out that it doesnt seems to have a positive review. How about the after sells service? The availability of parts and how high would it be? As for the resale value I already got the idea....n ready to absorb it if i'm taking the Fofo...

Going to move out tomorrow..hopefully

Anyone want to upgrade their mk3 focus rims and want to let go their 17inch let me know ya? Interested on the stock rim. Tq



This post has been edited by 88sales88: Jan 18 2013, 06:50 PM

Which one better? Tdci or the new focus? The TDCi doesnt have much goodies....But cost the same....which one do you recommend i take?

TDCI is of course better la.. depends on what kind of driver u are.. speed demons will opt for TDCI.. anyways have u drove/test driven the two? if not then go and experience it yourself.. both are very different from the other.. BTW im not sure if the TDCI got stock anymore.. those not sold yet is the last batch..

Ideally? The all new focus with TDCI or Ecoboost.. which wont happen for quite some time..

you right...speed demons dont care must about the goodies ..they only care on the performance/power + handling only.

wooo eddie.. got ur focus oledi ka?

In that case I guess It would be wiser for me to wait for the updated TDCi with all the goodies....

Likely to be a pretty long wait as it won't come in until our diesel fuel standards get revised.

Sometimes, I don't know who to believe when I ask SA about stock availability.

Some say 2012 Sport+ all sold out, only left Sport with 2k discount. Some say 2012 Sport+ still available, even Candy Red still available with 2k discount. Some say no discount at all. Jeez...

I've finally narrowed it down to Sport+ as the car to buy, but I really don't know which showroom to go to. I'm planning to get it mid-March or April.

Anyone can recommend a reliable SA?

sport+ seem like endless for me to wait...SA me told only sport available....+ not sure 100%.....really dissapointed lor....

why go 4 sport+ bro? Doesnt have the bliss and leather seat

The only reason anyone would go for sports is because of the hatch look

and the black interior

Yea, and the 17" rims, Rear sport tune absober for more handling

4 strong reason y i choose focus tdci diesel...powerfull, fuel saver, cmfrtble & strong body

so what else u want...

This post has been edited by Champion_white: Jan 20 2013, 03:41 PM

bro do you know the details for FoFo 17" wheels?
it's 17X7.5 +40offset rite?

for me, i chose sport+ due to it's looks (personal taste) and preferred black interior and semi-leather sport seat.

but i do miss that bliss features and electric adjustment seat features.

Just back from visiting Ford Taman Midah to see with my own eye (and to poison my wife) the ford focus titanium.

I went there with my wife and my daughter using our 4 years old viva elite. To our surprise, even with our low profile life, we were greeted by the sales person starting from the moment I parked my car (he already asked me beforehand, to prepare for my arrival). This is very very good first impression hehe Luckily the guy didn't open the door for me LoL!

The guy that served me is Gary. Very very friendly guy and knows a lot about the car that I have my interest on. Explain all the things that I asked him without doubt.

Would like to recommend the shop to all the have their interest in Ford cars!

hmmm.. i wonder if i should get white or get red eh

White can turn yellowish?

Black better...

white & red better

depends on personal taste though

lol i think im going for white la lol

still got stock meh ??

Yup, Gary and Edward both entertained me when I was there for a Focus test drive, both of them are friendly... i've already booked the Sport without +, Edward said can get by next week... I hope what he said was true

any discount or goodies ?? 2012 stock ??

Rm2k discount and 3M tint rm500 voucher.
Yup, 2012 stock, and Edward told me the 2013 price will increase a bit. Not sure true or not.

Price increase not a good step on a model that still struggling to steal grip from T&H.
Hopefully will not affect ongoing booking or people will end up canceling like what happen to Polo GTi

Got good discount for titanium?

This post has been edited by fact3: Jan 21 2013, 08:45 PM

Mind share how much u got offer for 3M tinted??after disc price

I like the Sport version. The semi leather seat can get hot when you park expose to direct sunlight?

Secondly, I see many white car turn yellowish but not sure about Focus. I really like the white but I mostly park at place without shade. What you guys think?

hi...im planning to get a focus. went to SDAC for test drive before...lately in focus club facebook people say SDAC service is bad. now im not sure to go for it or not....u guys know better SC/dealer for Ford out there??

hmmm.. price increase ke? how much will it be?

Mana boleh increase...how to fight with T n H?

actually for that price range, its the highest tech car. only no turbo

I also bought from Gary n Edward...slight delayed delivery of my car n the rm500 tint voucher they dun give you.. need to go to the 3m shop near their showroom to claim n do. The 3m shop will then give you discount rm500...they didn't even give me full tank petrol..was empty till the empty tank signal came on. But Edward was nice to give me rm50 to go fill myself. Overall their service was not bad...
