    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    In Canada they consider your age, gender, car, and location. Those are the most significant factors. Then I believe with less importance, comes your driving record + car usage. In Germany, it seems like you're rewarded for your driving record much more than in Canada. As well as base prices...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    So much better! in Canada was about $115CAD/month. Here I was able to get Vollkasko + ADAC membership for €619/jaehrlich. If I went with just Teilkasko it would have been €464. These prices might not be the best available, but ADAC was nice because I could just walk in without an appointment and...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    @Oposum To give you an update as promised! Today is the day when I can finally drive it! There was a lot of back and forth with the zulassungsstelle. Very stupid stuff 🤦‍♂️. But I received the plates last Wednesday! However, when I went back to ADAC, they had to validate my driving history from...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Hey! Thanks for asking, I wish it was! :) Everything is finished. It needed the VIN (FIN) punched in, and so I had a shop pick it up. Then the same day it was brought to the shop, the senior worker there had COVID. And so he was off for a week and a half. He returned, but had a lot of catching...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Hi, So the front tow hook and rear tow point which I installed were both approved today! I am waiting for the correct fuse to finish wiring the fog light. Tomorrow I have scheduled a body-shop to punch the VIN into the engine bay. I believe it will all be finished on Friday :)

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Hi all, So great news. I have the aftermarket headlights from OSRAM installed (different version, meant for the Mk3.5), and they have the E1 certification. So that's finished! I am changing the fog-lights today to be not LED, and installing a tow-hook point on the rear bumper. Thanks to you...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    damn.. I was not expecting to hear that.. Do you know which dealer it was at? Maybe I could phone them to ask about some of the work they did to convert the RS. I have headlights arriving tomorrow or Tuesday, and so I can test it for fit, and hope the pinout is the same.

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Wow, that would be helpful, thank you! Yes, I would like to do most of this work myself to help with cost. Importing a vehicle can quickly get expensive. I spoke with TUEV today, and asked a few simple questions: 1) does it need a rear tow hook? I explained that newer models don't have access...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    The foil is some window tint. It was originally installed back in Canada. This can be removed easily. The lamps might be LEDs, but I never changed them. Maybe the previous owner did. I am the second owner. I will remove the tint tomorrow afternoon. First thing to be crossed off the list. I...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Oh, WOW, this is incredibly helpful. I didn't even know about this other ebay website. Is it only germany that has it? I've made an offer for the headlights + grille. I will check the housing on my tail lights to see if they have space for a fog light bulb. If I can get the grille, I will order...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    So I have great news :) I ordered these lights: Scheinwerfer passend für Ford Focus MK3 Facelift 15-18 schwarz Swf14slgxby Tagfahrlicht dynamischer Led Blinker Laufblinker : Amazon.de: Auto & Motorrad They should fit. If they don't, amazon has a nice return policy. If they do but TUEV won't...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    I guess in north america, the high-intensity fog lights on the rear are the issue. But this makes me wonder why some of these differences exist. Why no tow hooks in America? Seems universally, helpful to have. I guess just cost-savings. I'll never understand why headlights are held to different...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    The Osram Xenarc headlights do look cool and are priced really well, a pair for €800 on Amazon! I don't think they will fit. I think they are for the pre-2015 Focus ST. But it's good to know that there's no strict OEM requirement. I will obviously check with TUEV before ordering a part. The...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Hey! Thanks for the fast response! :) Since german isn't my first language, it's very possible I misinterpreted the technician from TUEV (they speak German only) and, maybe the front fog lights aren't the issue. It could just be the rear fog light. Here's the required changes they requested...

    Importing my Focus ST, Needs European Parts

    Hi, Sorry for the English post in the German forum. I feel like, Google translate won't do this justice. Also, I hope this is the correct sub-category. I've got my car with TUEV, and they have given me a list of modifications required for registration, and I need some parts. I was wondering...
