a guy came in today with a red o3 zx3 the had a partial bat inc wide euro kit on it, red apc race buckets and ebay coil over convertion. it aslo was slathered with focal jet and focus sport stickers, the car i belive is from ohio. the guy paid 2200 for it at auction, and it needs a lot of work to be sold at askin price. now the meat of the question, the rear euro bumper is slightly damaged( a tear and a big scape about 4inches wide by 8long) i want this bumper, but can i get a non wide body section for it? the fender flares are part of the lower portion that holds the rear fog and reverse light, and is 50 bucks pluse a good us spec bumper too little or too much? i may try to get the whole car but if he wants more than 1200 for it , ill just get the bumper. the motor and trans(auto) are good...man this guy got ripped off, it needs left front ball joint, right inner tie rod, both front rotors(one is slotted the other aint) all four springs and struts, two tires(215/40/17), check engine light is on, fog lamps for the front u.s bumper a rear bumper, all the stickers and crap removed, just to sell it.... man i should make an offer to this guy, sorry young kid, man he got ripped of.its the orange ones bumper, the snap dragon from cossie

i know, but i think i should get the whole car and have fun with a sawzall and welder, maybe see what i can do with with it. also i think its got a salvage title. im calling the guy tommara and see if he'll take less than a grand. to bad for him though, he'll have to sink four grand into it to get four grand out. he is also part of the russian auto body leauge. he was telling me about some hondas he got and was able to turn a profit on them. i told him not gonna happen with this car, one its not a honda, two its beat to shit. i explained to him that the focus is a niech car, you can sell a hopped up one to the right person, but you gotta find that person. a honda is like a cammaro, just about any one will buy it no matter how ham fisted the modifier was. he just nods his head and goes yeah.....

If you have the money, buy the car, parts it out. And build a racer out of it...

Well if its the body kit posted, it a rather rare piece, so I'm sure you could sell it for a chunk of change including the other parts on it. Pickup some stock bumpers and factory panels, gut it, roll the fenders, add big tires, some decent engine mods, you've got a fun little weekend car for cheap. I'd love to have a spare Focus to have fun with.
