G'Day guys.
The plastic trim around my shifter on my focus had a scratch in it, and as you would know its a weird finish, almost a rubbery finish. So I entirely wet sanded off the rubber finish back to the base plastic, and hit it with some paint. Im still undecided if I like the new look or if I should go back to black? What's everyone else think? I wasn't one of those mods you do where you love it straight away.  |

Only from Ford because they ones in the US are LHD....I got caught out when I bought some Ford Racing ones. I'm sure the UK ones are RHD. Just make sure before you purchase them

In the LR Zetec, that part is a different colour (silver) to the rest of the centre console anyway. Hard to see the texture from the photo, but the colour looks good.
Is that a Richbrook knob? Great look

LR, I'm an idiot. Just went and checked. The console is grey, the gear surround is black. Just ignore me. But I like what you've done.
I have the Richbrook slant top as well. Brilliant knob (The Richbrook....not me Adam! LOL)

Yeah when you said it was a different colour it got me google-ing ha ha.
I knew the zetec's radio / ac facia was a different colour, like a dark silver and I thought it might have been that colour. Just waiting till monday now so I can check prices of the pedals and a few other bits from ford against this www.fordpartsuk.com . And hopefully I will get some new bits
