So I need a few parts for my second hand 2013 Ford Focus Trend (possibly titanium model based on the chrome trim and door handles), and I'm unsure exactly what car I have? What does ST/LM mean etc? I'd check my car manual, but it's missing... I still have all my service receipts etc, though.
Regarding parts, during a hail storm last year, the chrome (fake) trim on my boot got hit by a branch and a chunk got taken out in the centre. I ended up just peeling it off as it was glued on, and I was worried about it coming off anyway while i was driving. Does anyone know where I can buy this in Australia, as I don't think it's worth paying the $850 insurance excess for a piece of chrome/silver plastic? Also, I need a new radio antenna, as I unscrewed mine years ago when I put roof racks on and now can't find where it is. The radio still works most of the time and is only a little patchy when in the more remote areas. Anyway, there seems to be a plethora of second hand ones one Ebay etc, but I'm unsure what my exactly model of car is due to the above issue, so having trouble figuring out which one to get. I assume most are generic? Is there one anyone would recommend? Thanks. |

If you provide you VIN number we can see exactly what you have.
Below are the parts for a tailgate, there was never a chrome trim available as per you pic, it was always body colour, so not sure where that has come from. Part in question is identified by reference A43400 in the pic. As for the aerial mast a genuine one for a hatch is around $30, can help getting one if you need any assistance.

Your vehicle is a base model LW Focus Mk2 Ambiente which was equivalent to LX in the older LV series. It has a MTX75 manual transmission, Winning Blue in colour and a 2.0L Duretc Petrol engine. There are two trims for your car pending if it has a factory reverse camera or not but still body colour not chrome..
