Ford Focus goes on a three car tuning spree at LA show

Focus tuned

Nothing like a show in LA to get them tuning kits out, and that’s what Ford has done, with no less than three spruce up custom jobs for its Mk III Focus to portray what life would be for the everyday passenger hatch if you were to allow it to let its hair down.

The first iteration is from Ford Vehicle Personalisation, which shows just what can be done when you add Ford Custom Accessories into the mix. The car, which is finished in white tri-coat paint with hints of Caribbean Blue, features a new white body kit with an expressive concept graphic on the side panels.

The Caribbean Blue accents continue throughout the vehicle, and you’ll find the shade in the headlights, mirrors, wheels and foglight bezels – one thing’s for sure, never be blue again, even if your car is. Liquid silver paint was also applied to the roof spoiler, mirrors, headlights and foglights, showing off extra attention to detail.

As for the interior, this one has a black and white theme featuring all-leather seats with accent stitching. The steering wheel also showcases white and black leather, and the centre console uses soft-touch white paint, and etched scuff plates and aqua accent lighting round out the interior treatment.

The second tuner car is from FSWerks, and mods include 19-inch DPE R16 wheels matched with Continental ExtremeContact DW tyres and a 3dCarbon roof wing, as well as an FSWerks stainless steel performance exhaust, cold air intake and engine cover.

The FSWerks Focus also gets an H&R Springs coilover kit and a ride height that’s 76mm lower than standard Foci.

Finally, there’s the 3dCarbon Focus, and sinister-looking is the name of the game with this one. The exterior features a 3M VentureShield Paint Protection Matte Finish Film, and smoked-out windows with 3M window film complete the darkened topic. Except for the glossy black bonnet, the rest of the black body panels have a film foil wrap offering a satin-like appearance.

The car comes with 20-inch Series KM650-KMC wheels, also finished in gloss black and highlighted by a red pinstripe. It also sports a 3dCarbon roof wing and H&R sports springs as well as a FSWerks cat-back exhaust system.

    ” One thing is for sure – never be blue again even if your car is..”…ermmm wonder what does that mean??

    Anyway, the one in white-blue is so captivating…like the color scheme…the sticker at the back will read..”if you think the color is good, wait till you sit on the seat”…

  • This is horrible! These lesser Ford’s have always been a mixture of Japanese and American cars, and they look horribly out of place! This is as good as some Kepong Garage tuning…doesn’t impress.
