Looks lovely in red 
You forgot to mention the awesome Bose stereo!
My silver one is really growing on me (and have the 2nd decat too and confirm it's not droney at all but more throaty) dare I say on a Ford forum that it's a better all round car than my old 2006 Focus ST?

Oh yea, has BOSE sound system and 6 CD in dash changer 
I had an ST too - 2007 pre facelift model.
Had all the usual bolt on mods and a map from Colin's performance in congleton.
Granted, your never gonna beat the ST for engine sounds.
But it shares the same chassis and front brake set-up, although with a different bolt pattern.
But where the ST is a bit naff in the corners, this grips better and pulls out the corner far far better than the ST ever did!
Obviously thanks to the LSD.
£500 cheaper than the ST on insurance too. I only pay £480 fully comp, NCB protected.
If it wasn't for twins on the way, I'd be keeping it. And to be honest, I won't be starting to worry about selling up until march. It puts a massive smile on my face every time I plant the fast pedal.
Just a shame that's not as often as I'd like due to the wife using it all the time.
