bluefin and decat are a must, mongoose zaust will let you hear wots goin on , sounds nice too, you wanna lose the front disc n pads cos they are shite and put some EBC jobbys on plus red stuff pads are the mutz, when you find a polish that works on that paint let me know will you cos I got about half a doz on the shelf that aint all that !!!!!!

Poorboys range topped with P21S Concours wax brings it up a treat. Any Carnauba based wax seems to bring the imperial blue out really nicely.



Only managed to get one pic Im afraid as I was losing the light

good choice buddy

im trying to choose between a focus rs and st in the new year

out of interest, what made you choose the RS over the ST, other than the fact it looks a million times better

werent you swayed by xenons etc and all the new toys you get with the ST?

Polished my FRS tonight and looks better than the day i picked it up new.

You wont believe what i used to polish it but it as come up a treat and very easy to polish off.

You must of heard of Merr, but i bet you havnt used Merr wheel polish on the complete shell.

You try it and see the difference, im telling you!!

Looks mint, including the WHEELS. LOL

I spent a whole day last weekend doing the interior with Meg's GC Leather, Meg's Quick Interior Detailer, Autoglym Glass polish, a good hoover and shampoo'd/pressure washed the mats. Then spent last Friday night till late + all Saturday doing outside, pressure washed underneath/engine/arches then wash, clay, Meg's DC1, Megs Scratch X, Meg's NXT, Megs #16 on the paint then all glass, tyres etc. After coming back to it, it looked fooking amazing, like a different car, well worth the 2-3 days work.

It's now sat under cover untill the shit weather has passed.

When you drive the cars back to back you will make you own mind up...

St: -

RS

The rs is the bolloxs but if you looking for a car for the wife get the ST if you wanna have some propa play time get the focus RS

Mate they are two diff cars.... But it's all down to what you really want from a car.

The focus Rs is the bollox's And im saying that after selling a bmw m3 e46

If you want a propa drivers car get the RS
