Frost's 2002 Facelift Bumper Project - Frost__2001 - 07-07-2005

First off I want to say thanks to mitch for the part(s) I ordered from him, I have not put the bumper on the car as of yet, because it's going to the paint shop in 8 days to be painted, but I painted it with crappy tire paint so you get the idea. I also played around with the camera, and some of my parts I have all over the place, so enjoy people.

My Busted up Xenon Lip that used to be on the front of the car.

So you get the general Idea of what it will look like when it's done, and the correct colour.

And I know I should have washed the car to take these, but it's going to rain tomorrow. So unless the weather is not going to be clear for more then 24 hours I'm not going to wash my car.

awesome. i always wanted a 02 facelift bumper? you planning on putting on a lip or anything?

Frost's 2002 Facelift Bumper Project - Frost__2001 - 07-07-2005

:lol:

Yeah, I plan on adding the Xenon lip to the front end, but not that one in the photos, it's toast thanks to my sister. I have another spare one in the garage in the box still, unpainted, but it needs to be custom fitted to the bumper since the Facelift bumper is like 2" shorter in the bottom, but then again all the Euro bumpers are a bit shorter.

looks good, can't wait to see it on the car now!

Frost's 2002 Facelift Bumper Project - S2 - 07-07-2005

I like it, especially cause I've never seen that lip on a euro bumper. It makes your car 'rare'.....

Can't wait to see the final pics once ya get it all painted and installed.....

Isn't rare enough ? I mean it's yellow, a sedan, Street edition, and # 38 of 50 ( # 1488 of 1500 ) and under going a Euro Conversion.

But really Thanks guys! , Though I can't wait for the fog lights to arrive in about a week or so, not to mention sending the bumper to the paint shop in 8 days time, & getting the smoked repeaters put on the car in about 3 weeks time will tie it all in.

frost, if u need a hand test fitting the euro-bumper, give me a shout, we might be able to get 2 done in the same day, :P :P

Frost's 2002 Facelift Bumper Project - Frost__2001 - 07-07-2005

:lol: Lamo....... Hey sounds like a plan ! :lol:

I know I have to do a rebar triming like on the 98 - 01 models :(............. But good thing for hack saws and my dad help'en me out there :lol: LMAO......

But really though, I'm not looking forward to that because just to put a jack under my car is often a major problem to do with the body kit on there, then removing the front tires, then the inner fenders, then the splash guards..... then the headlight screw in the lower fenders.... then the fog lights then the lower grill and then finally opening the hood to go from there.

Is this the same sister that wrecked your front bumper months ago. So that's 2 front ends that your sister ruined in the last year?

I saw the way you drove into Anthony's school parking lot, almost crushing your lip on the speed bump. I am thinking that this sister is a figment of your imagination. :P :lol:

Frost's 2002 Facelift Bumper Project - ANTHONYD - 07-07-2005

Oh man, that bumper was close to ground before....that thing is going to scrape for sure now!!!

It looks completely awesome though.

you should be able to sell the US spec JMS lip for close to the same price as buying a new euro JMS lip from me! ;) plus it will not require all the modding! ;)

frost,
i still have an extra set of 02+ fogs and surrounds for sale should you need them!

I have to wait a week to see if the deal with the guy I'm buying them off of is going to send them off to me from the UK frist, If not, Then Mitch your on the top of my list to get them off of, But for sure I'll be needing a Euro plate holder, since the plate that came on that bumper never had one. It's why there is two screw holes in the plate, and I used the same screws to hold the plate in place to take the photos.

On the plus side though, it saves me from drilling holes in the UK plate later on for my Ontario Front Plate. For those that don't know Ontario requires by law that 2 Plates are required for cars registered in Ontario, unless they are dealer plated.

Debbie is my sister, and yes she was the one that drove the car up over the snow bank at the end of the drive way in feb sending that very same front lip in that first photo up and into the bumper. I had to take it off and put it in the garage after I got out the car to inspect the damage...... It's been in there since then, untill I pulled it out to take photos yesterday. I never fixed the front end, I didn't plan on doing that at all, untill the snow strom of march 1st, I totaled the front end when I hit a snow bank causing more then $5000 in damage. So more or less my insurance company fixed everything after that, including buying another Xenon Front lip for the car. I was like you did that?? to the body guys at Colony Ford, I then had told them I had a new one spare in the garage in the box still unpainted. ooppss ! :lol:

As for speed bumps, :rolleyes: they never really were a problem with the front end ever, I have never scraped the front end on a speed bump yet, however small hills going into driveways are a different story, it's why I'm getting used to having to go in / out on the diagnel.

Besides, the Facelift bumper I noticed is smaller and closer to the car, so it's higher up the the North American bumper by like 0.5' - 1" higher then current one. Meaning More clearence :lol: !!

It's a Street Edition For Sure, because I found out thrugh Ford it's # 1488 of 1500 sold in Canada for this Statement version of car. I got the Limited Edition Badge at Wal-Mart for $10 as it's a correct badge too.

My car is #38 of 50 called one of the following names: the Xenon Street Edition ( I call the car this name ) or the Limited Street Edition, or The Limited Xenon Street Edition, or from Quebec as I heard they were Marketed as the " Edition Dimond " because of the seat pattern I asume. From what I found out, Ford wanted to make this a memorible edition of car, and the last 50 sold in Canada came with the what you see on my car, a body kit, lowering, etc... But no moon roof. I have seen 2 other Focus with the same package, one with automatic in WI on FF, and the other was a rare Wagon version in B.C. outside of Kelowna, with Alberta Plates.
