The Top 6 Most Common Modifications Made To Fords
By Zunsport - 3rd May, 2024
Whether it's for better sound, improved performance, speed, power or aesthetics, there’s an aftermarket modification available for every type of Ford vehicle.
If you’ve just bought a brand-new Ford Focus, or you’re sprucing up a classic Fiesta, below you’ll find the top 6 common modifications made to Ford cars.
1. Wheels
One of the most popular and cost-effective modifications seen on Ford vehicles is a wheel upgrade. A decent set of premium tyres will not only spruce up even the most tired-looking Ford, it’ll also have a big impact on how your car handles, as well as offering an improvement in fuel consumption. If you use your Ford to go off-roading, tackle ice and snow, tow a trailer, or simply whizz down the motorway, there is a tyre tailored to your exact driving need.
Not only can Fords be easily updated with a new set of tyres - upgrading your alloy wheels will also add serious value to your vehicle, not to mention admiring looks from passers-by!
2. Car Grilles
Another very simple yet incredibly effective way to improve the look of your Ford is to add a new grille. Swap your plain, dull front grille for a Ford mesh grille and you’ll not only look the part but your grille will also improve the airflow to your engine’s key components, helping to maintain your vehicle for longer. You will also find that a robust grille will protect your car from debris while driving, keeping things like your car's radiator, intercoolers and sensors out of harm's way when driving at speed.
Zunsport specialises in the production of Ford-specific vehicle grilles. No matter what Ford you drive, Zunsport has a quality grille for your car. Choose from a sleek black nylon or a modern stainless-steel option to suitably compliment your Ford vehicle.
3. Arch Kits
The benefit of extending your wheel arches is an obvious one: more space for bigger tyres and alloys. Look for arch kits specifically designed to fit your Ford vehicle. Many arch kits will require you to cut them down to size at home, but this can damage the paintwork. Shop around to find a kit that fits your car.
4. Windows
That Offer Sun Protection. In the UK, tinted windows are illegal. That said, there are some aftermarket options that provide some of the benefits of tinted windows while remaining on the right side of the law. These are called ‘sun protection windows’ and do just that – they limit the glare from bright lights and sunshine without affecting your visibility.
5. Upgrade Your Tech
While most modern Ford cars come fully fitted with the latest in-car technology, there are still some fantastic aftermarket options to upgrade the technology already fitted in your Ford. For those driving an older Ford model, a simple upgrade can make a huge difference to your driving experience. Some of the most popular options include the installation of a state-of-the-art infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity. Couple this with some new speakers and you’ll be blown away by the improvement in functionality and sound quality.
6. Security
Now your Ford has all the latest modifications in place, you’ll want to ensure it’s protected. Invest in a dash cam (you can even get them hard-wired into your vehicle, so no need for annoying cables cluttering your dashboard) to get crystal clear footage of the road as you drive. Some modern dash cams even record when the vehicle is parked, offering complete peace of mind.
