  • Custom Heater Knobs

    I've been dying to get these fitted to Bandit for the past week or so, and now I've finally managed it. These knobs were a straight swap for the originals. I simply placed a cloth over the original knobs, grabbed them tightly with the pliers and gave a good, hard, steady tug. Then it was simply a matter of pushing the custom knobs into place and voila! Lovely posh custom heater ...

  • In Car Entertainment

       As standard, Bandit is fitted with a Blaupunkt TravelPilot EX Navigation system with an additional 6 CD multi-changer. I removed the X-plod amp and 2 x 10" Mutant subs from Peril and had them fitted to Bandit. Even with the sub enclosure in there, Bandit still has masses of boot space.

  • Tinted Windows

    A fun drive out to South Woodham Ferrers saw us visiting our mate, Terry, at Shades Tinting. In no time at all, his guys did a top notch job of fitting Bandit out with Limo tints around her rear. I think the tints give her a bit more of a mean look now. More on Bandit’s tints to come as she goes back for a second visit on Saturday for her sun strip fitted…. Terry kindly offers a discount ...

  • Day One – Let the modding commence!

    Less than 10 minutes after signing on the dotted line, Bandit is sporting her very first mod.... A set of Chrome Heater Surrounds which match her dial surrounds rather nicely. After a quick photoshoot in Ashdown Forest, it was time for a leisurely drive to bring my new baby home. Once home, it was time to initiate Bandit into the focusowners clan - on went her focusowners.com stickers. As a final touch, I added Ford Racing badges in chrome / ...

  • Day zero: at the dealer

    Well - here she is at the dealer, which I found by searching online. Big thanks to Ash ( focusowners: STDash84), for his help and advice during my search. Bandit (as I am naming her - as in 'Smokey & the Bandit") has 39,000 miles on the clock and is fully kitted out. I will be picking her up on October 15th after she has been given a full service and MOT, plus valet. [flagallery ...
