Also the fact the car sold for 7k on ebay not 5 min ago, what makes you think its now worth double what you paid for it.
Well that's obviously been established and sussed out. But the reason why some1 would want a FRS Replica with everything on it except the stamp from Ford stating that it is a genuine RS, is that it would carry 1.6 (or 1.4 as mine was originally) tax with 2.0 turbo insurance. The tax being legal, therefore £56 for 6 months tax as they work it on the emissions of the original shell, they cannot tax it as an RS. And the insurance is better, as its not a Focus RS, but classed as a modified turbo conversion. Which in my case, is £560 odd quid a year instead of the £2k I was quoted for an actual RS...
