New Focus ST Info thread.

You can order the US grille which doesn't have the euro shaped backing. A few guys have it instead of the euro plate. Personally I quite like the euro plate

Here is a USDM grill fitted to my car.

It sure is, there was also a video to go with that pic but it didnt reveal much. Mainly a new wheel design.

Heres a PS i found. Still has old wheels though.

[aratic]

I'm not overly happy about this!

[DJM83]

Why not?

[aratic]

Don't get me wrong it looks great, but it doesn't help existing ST owners with residual values

[Bossxr8]

So Ford should never update it then?

[martinijosh]

If you don't want your asset to depreciate, don't buy a depreciating asset.

Does seem pretty soon though

[aratic]

I don't have a problem with it but it is quite soon admittedly, less than 2 years. Oh well, doesn't change anything for me

[DJM83]

Not really soon at all, same happened with the XR5 turbo, similar kind of time frame between LS/T/V

[phil545]

US Grille, Boo yeah!

Yeah when you put it like that it's about right

[BadMax]

You're concerned about residual values? Why did you buy a brand new car, circa 40k which 12 months down the track is in the low 30's?

Still a ripper value car and even better with a tune!

[oddnutz]

That new ST looks sweet. They turned a docile looking catfish into an angry shark.

[RACERED]

Favourite part of the ST upgrade is the new bonnet.... Gotta get me one for mine....

[DJM83]

Wont fit current ST.

[RACERED]

Oh ****, new headlights etc.... Love the shape

[DJM83]

Ford badge recess in current bonnet is the main reason it won't fit

[RACERED]

Aha just looked again, I see... Damn

[FoxtrotGolfXray 5.0]

Sorry, wrong thread.....

Quick question has anyone else had the service message come up on their ST? mine keeps coming up each time I start it but its still 5000km off its 45000 service?? it hasn't done it before now.

[hugoti]

You reset it using the brake and accelerator pedals - do a google search the instructions will be there

mine appeared at 20k (those are the intervals overseas IIRC)

- hit the power button but dont start the car (clutch out)
- press the brake and accelerator fully. you will see a reset notification appear on the HUD
- hold them down until you see confirmation that its reset

job done.

Found a rather cool easter egg within the trip computer today, if you scroll down until you are on the average L/100 screen, hit the right button toggle and will give you an ecomode breakdown on how economical you are driving (speed, anticipation etc)

[phil545]

Hahha yeah i check that ages ago, all green for me, I am champion lol

Also for those with an iphone, if you are on IOS 6 or above, you can now activate text to voice and sms replying via sync now

http://support.ford.com/sync-technol...c-myford-touch

Just tested it and it works.

[chrisorm]

Yeah the reading and showing sms has worked for a while. Still haven't successfully managed to reply yet though. But the "hey Siri" thing in iOS 8 let's you get to Siri hands free atleast.

[hugoti]

Don't think the sync showing SMS works in Australia?
