Keep it.
I have recently had a similar situation. I have decided to get a run about and just use the focus Rs for fun.
After all you have done to your focus it would be a shame to sell it enjoy it and just buy the misses a 4 door car.
Get it out for track day and for having fun.
Cheers,
Jim

Shame to get rid after all the hard work you put in mate but if you do sell then defo sell the parts, as you`ll get more in the long run. People will rip your hands off for all them bits! 
P.S How much you want for brakes?

Dunc, I've got a wee boy aswell and I think it will be ok when he can climb in and out of the car himself. It is a bit of a chav with his carseat at the minute though. I;m keeping mine and the missus is getting a 5 door 
If you do decide to sell, only guys that appreciate your mods will pay the extra for the car with them, otherwise best remove them and sell individually as that would benifit your pocket.
How can you part with it

Depends on how much you would like to sell it for with and without the bits 
If you do want to sell it, pm me if you like as my mate is after one and is ready with the cash

Gay orange grill would be body-coloured though if it was mine.

As some of the ffoc boys know I've been trying to sell my RS for a couple of months now, & I think the reason it's not selling is because of the mods I've done.
Buyers seem to want standard cars so they can do the mods them selves, which is crazy as in the long run it will cost them more money in the end!
Gonna give mine a couple of more weeks, if it dosn't sell by then gonna have to strip it.
Don't really wanna' do this but might be the only way to sell!

Thing is Kev I have original lights & bonnet to go with the car!
The way I see it is, everyone knows what a standard RS looks like & they can have mine like that as it's well documented that I have all the standard parts...............bla bla bla!
I do see what you mean mate....
Gonna give it a little more time!
