The accelerator is an entire assembly, it's the only one that doesn't come off, you have to buy the whole accelerator. How do I know? Adam and I are about to buy a full set from the USA.

Hi Guys,

Would this kit fit a 2003 CL?I know the clutch and stop peddle will fit but i'm not sure about the other.Are the zetec peddles different to the CL's?

I want this kit as well it will go nice with the silver handbreak and gearknob.

Cheers

Nick.

Central Florida Motorsports. 2 sets genuine Ford Focus SVT (ST170) sent to Melbourne for $191 AUD ($150 USD). http://www.c-f-m.com/

Ebay sets are about $5 USD cheaper from the same supplier, currently awaiting quote on postage to Australia. If it's cheaper than the $50 quoted standard by their normal website or even the same, then I'll go Ebay and save the $5 USD per set naturally! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...8512462&rd=1,1

The official Ford Racing parts in the USA are the original distributor, however in December these parts were discontinued and are now only available through those outlets that still have them. Central Florida appear to be the cheapest and allow international shipping. That's their link on Ebay too, so depending on the cheaper option, I'll be buying 2 sets in the next 24 hours.

They're about $200-300 per set locally. US pricing is totally different to Australian pricing due to the difference in market sizes and possible different sources of manufacture? The US market permits the individual marketing of parts such as this due to the size of the modding population, thus their ability to sell far more parts seems to dictate their cheaper pricing.

****. Ours just arrived, not only is the accelerator the wrong way around (as in for an LHD car) but the brake and clutch pads are too big for the stock pedals.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE ******* DIFFERENCES BETWEEN U.S. AND EUROPEAN FOCI. FOR ****'S SAKE, WHY DOES EVERY LITTLE ******* PIECE ON THE CAR HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT?!?!!!!! ****!!!

Somehow have to flog them back on Ebay now since they don't take refunds and will only fit US vehicles. ****.

yep, agree and the worst thing about it is, the US model focus is just butt ugly, especially the upcoming one. I would be insulted to be American and have companies like FORD treat me like a tasteless moron who loves cars that have that 80s jap car look in todays day and age, and belive that I will keep buying the mk1 focus even though the mk2 has been out in europe for a couple of years.

Anyways

Nuff Ranting i think. lol
