iM Highlight : Jules Cragg’s Ford Focus Zx5
If there were any words that you could use to describe Jules’ Focus when it first rolls up, “Smitten” would have to be one of them. A Street Appearance Package front and rear bumper set, along with an RS Style spoiler and a mix of other customized bits really set off the initial impression of the car, and really differentiate it from your “average” Focus.
As a Ford fan through and through (she actually has the iconic Ford “mustang” tattooed on her arm, and her daughter bears the name “Eleanor”), the Focus was an ideal platform to start building her daily driver and child hauler.
She admitted to me she wishes she was lower, but daily driving in a city that is home to millions of chasms between traffic lights, practicality and reliability was a factor. Regardless of ride height, you can’t deny that she’s nailed down an excellent flush fitment for her Rotiform BLQ’s.
She has hinted that she’s pretty satisfied with the exterior appearance of the car, and will hopefully be getting into some engine work and go-fast parts in the next few seasons.
