Default My Focus RS Mk2

Time to present our latest addition
We sold the red EsCos at the end of 2008 and the black one was gone at the end of may last year. 1 day later we were at the dealers ordering our new Focus RS
We ordered one in Frozen White with USB/BT and Lux Pack 2 (partial leather, parkassistant rear, key free with "Ford Power" startbutton, Solar Reflect, Quickclear and perimetric & volumetric alarm system). 3 or 4 weeks later we tried to change our order and add a Travelpilot Fx but at that time we already had a productionnumber
Too late to have it fitted in the factory but in the mean time we found a new one on eBay which has been fitted around X-Mas.
Ordered it on 29th of may and was delivered 31st of july. Only a few hours before we were to leave for Ford Fair... in our Mondeo diesel
But still very happy as we only had to wait 2 months

It was destined to become a garage queen but after a few months of ownership we decided to actual use it It has been my daily since november and the only downside is the fact I'm now running on 17" winterwheels & tyres which makes it look a bit like a kitted up 1.6. But anyone who has ever cleaned the standard 19" wheels can confirm you don't want to be cleaning those every week when temperatures begin with "-"

Compared to a Cosworth the mods list on this one is neglectable
We removed the Focus badge, replaced the foglight with an RHD reverse light, added some wind deflectors and an underbonnet sticker. Pretty impresive stuff

The Roose top hoses are in order at Jamsport though and as we're coming over for Ford Fair again this year a trip to SCC for some Eibach lowering springs, a K&N replacement filter and a Pro Alloy IC is planned as well

Only thing that's still up for discussion are the wheels. I do like the design but silver and white don't really do it. I'm not a fan of black wheels either and anthracite looks ok but I still have some doubts about the black&white car vs anthracite wheels. Not that I'm picky LOL
