Oh man SVT parts look so good in white. Makes you wonder why ford didn't make a SVT focus in white beside the "body in white" non streetable cars. Body in white cars are basically stock race cars that can't be insured for the street.

Yea i did a search for any White SVTs and found none ,so a White SVT looking car it seems will be rare. I also may have a source for a rear bumper with diffuser. but we'll see.


Thanks guys

First coat of clear is on , now gotta leave it for a few days to properly cure






This is after a small round of wetsand to smooth it out , then another and final coat of white , and then also a little wetsand to smooth it out.

Wow you're making good progress man. That bumper is gonna look wicked. And that poor SVT, what a strange outcome! And Brian, I never noticed the 5door SVT's didn't come with skirts.. Wierd because the skirts fit both 3 and 5 door.

The sideskitrs flare out a bit towards the rear, making them more prone to damage on a 5-door. Ford prolly didn't use them on the SVT ZX5's because they could have gotten recalled for whatever stupid reason people come up with

So finally today i put the grill and lip and other little bits and bobs back on.

It will remain indoors for the remainder of the weekend and early next week when i will be putting it back on the car. hopefully new headlights will arrive by then , so i can remake my wire harness on the car for the new headlights.





Its going to stay indoors at room temperature for the rest of the weekend and add a little more cureing time. just to make sure. Cold does weird stuff to paint.
