Does anyone know if you can have factory options retro-fitted by ?

For example, my has the standard air-con but could I have climate control fitted instead if I wanted to? Or did everything have to be built with the car to start with?

I only ask because (hopefully) in a short while I may be able to upgrade to a Focus , and I would like an ST-3 with every single option fitted! Greedy I know!

I think would probably be able to do it, but as you say Duncan, it would be for a price no doubt!

Thing is, I hate my local dealer so I don't really want to ring them up and ask them!

Agree Kenny. There's loaddds of Focus s out there so you'll have no probs finding one with the colour/options exactly like you want, it's not like trying to find a Cossie in the right colour for example.

I agree to an extent guys, but I'm not so sure about finding an Electric Orange one with everything on it.

I'm not just talking about full leather, I'm on about DVD Sat Nav, parking sensors etc. The only extra I'm not too bothered about is the sunroof, but if I could find one with one I wouldn't say no!!

I won't be upgrading until spring/summer at the earliest anyway, but it'll have to be a facelift one!

Have Ford stopped making them now?

I know what you mean. I want a sunroof!
...and I'd pay for old extras at the right price

Anything can be changed and done but as others say... at a price!

I had rear discs "retro-fitted" by ford before I collected it as they didn't come factory fitted with them. This was included in the price of the car. I'd suggest leaving it as it is and changing for one that has it... or upgrading to a Focus

Yeah, I'll see what the situation is after the new year. You can't rush these things.

Besides, I've already got an awesome Fiesta , so I'm sure the Focus can wait for a bit.

Things like parking sensors can be added by any decent car place

They're usually black aren't they? Wonder how hard it would be to colour match the orange?!
