I brought my 00 ford focus from California to Vancouver Canada..
In order to import my car and register in canada, i have to take 2 inspection..
and..
this was how mine looked like



I failed the "FEDERAL INSPECTION".
In order to pass Federal,
-DRL(installed)
-Headlights(replaced)
-Airbag(replaced)
-Odometer(stock, overlay removed)
-spoiler(removed)
-height(raised up, so it is about 1.5" lowered)
headlights back to stock


spoiler removed and tint film also removed


raised up, so around 1.5" lowered(?)


So I thought I m 100% positive that I will pass...BUT
They told me that they will not pass me, and the reason was..
-French Airbag Sticker from dealership..DUH!!!

This will take me another 3 or 4 weeks, getting recall clearance letter took me 3 weeks to mailed. nad i believe this little tiny sticker will cost me another $100~$200. I paid $168 for 1 single printed paper from FORD.


If i get lucky and pass this "FEDERAL INSPECTION", then "PROVINCIAL INSPECTION" is next.
It is much more strict and in order to pass "PROVINCIAL"
- no moisture in headlights
- must have same wheels and tires with similar tread left.
- no bucket seat
- no crack on bumper
- they may or may not pick on euro bumper
- no dent on rear quarter panel, because wheel is sticking out a bit less than 1/4" but they are picking on it.

I am really pissed!!
I spent $400 since I get here to get DRL, Headlights and recall clearance leter, I am not gonna spend more money and fix anymore..
This is really suck to let my car go, I poured all my soul(?)into my focus, doing lots custom work!!

I have to sell my focus to USA or if someone is willing to fix all stuff to meet BC regulation...

I am not done with focus yet. I am buying another used focus, DURATEC with MTX.
