    Here's what eBay.co.uk just threw up...

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-ST-2-Recaro-Seats-Full-Set-/320919414492?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab849a6dc

    You'll only need to convince them to ship them here, which might be tough. :)

    Edit: You may have to put up with the 3-door versions in your 5-door though, as they 5-door ones are quite rare. Also try and find someone selling a set that includes the door cards, they transform the inside of the car completely compared to the stock ones.

    Have a look under the footwells. The bulb holders might be there for them. They take the w5 wedge type bulbs. I found them on my old man's car.

    Blue bulb in pic.

    Installed and lighting pic.

    A complete led bulb convertion might be an idea. They look so much better then the standard halogen bulbs.

    Edit: Ohh, that is a cracken interior Dar83. :)

    well, I personly wouldent buy a car with no service history. But thats just my opinion.....



    I've not bought a car with service history in ages. Judge on current condition of the car, more often then not, a clean un-abused car will have been looked after in the past. Service history is a rare thing in bangernomics. :pac:

    What kind of motor are you using if you don't mind me asking?

    Thinking of upgrading in the next 2/3 years to an Audi A4

    Have only had the focus a year and I love it but have a thing for the 09/10 A4

    *Edit - I'd imagine the bulbs look quite nice at night alright - blue would be the colour I look at anyway

    I have a car hired for 5 days in July to go driving around Norway :D I have a provisional route mapped out (http://goo.gl/maps/9MbF), but I'll spend the next few weeks researching various driving roads (and hotels, feck they're expensive there!). Very exciting though, I love planning these things :cool:

    Nothing exciting, a Polo (or similar). Not really too bothered about what I'm driving, as long as I get to go wandering. I'm sure I'll be at the top of a mountain regretting not bringing the RX8 :rolleyes:

    We've a blue '65 Super Dexta in the yard. You need to dip a length of newspaper in diesel and light it and then shove it up the air intake to get the thing to start if its a cold day.
