That's a tough one, as the bottom lip is unique to Australia.

Normally I'd say take a look at ebay.co.uk, but the ST170 bodykit was only made and fitted here.

HOWEVER, it was also an option on other Focus' of the time, including the limited edition Zetec R model.

So don't limit your search to ST170. Also look for any 2002 -2004 Focus with body kit

May be cheaper to have it repaired. It is plastic

The last time i checkd (which was when i was getting one for my car) there was maybee one or two left with ford - and that was unconfmirmed.

If you want a replacement you will have to order one off SSV.com.au and they will ship it to you, its the one ive got and its an exact replica, but its not as tough as the original.

I agree with what photn is saying. Sinclair Ford searched for me and suggested there's only one set i.e. front "splitter", sills and rear bar left and that was from a Dealer in Victoria. No doubt it's probably been sold by now.
