the F**d focus lights would be an arsehole to fit, coz in the bumper theres a metal strengthening bar. The lights are quite deep and would require you to cut into this strengtherning bar at either side, this would make your car much weaker at the back, but it would look good. Don't know about the other things though.

The focus lights have been done on a nova, so it is possible. Unfortunately i can't remember where i saw it.

From what i can remember though the metal bar wouldn't affect the lights as they sit low in the bumper and the metal bar is at the top.

fenix this is true, but the bottom of the nova munper has bot a slight curve in it and the Foucus on ehasn't so it would be difficult. It would be possible, just difficult.

I "think" he's talking about the reverse and foglights which are curved as they are fitted into the focus bumper.

I've remembered where i saw the pic it was in a review of last years PNG in one of the modded car mags. It was an orange nova.
