Take them off, will look better, and the dusty wheels will inspire you to wash your car more often!

As far as i know, Hyndai have been the only ones keen enough to put rear drums on a passenger car in the last 10 years, lol.

the focus had rear drums on the base model. don't think the new model does though, they must've realised how stupid it was!

I took mine off with only a little trouble. Obviously you have to take the wheels off first... Then I just pushed on the shields from the outside using a socket extension. They're a right bastard to get off 'cos they are so tight, but it's very straight forward... kinda like taking the lid off a tin of paint... loosen one point, move to the next, loosen, move etc. etc.
