Anthony,

I bought my FRS brand new from Ford.

I can tell that mine has had paint on the o/s rear quarter panel.

I know this must have been done at the manufacturers as it came into the dealer by transprter and my brother was there when it turned up.

I know that these cars were on the normal production line to start off with then taken off for the final fitments, ie standard seats fitted on production line then removed by hand and the Sparco seats fitted by hand. I think that because of this the odd car may have been scratched by removel or fitting of seats which left them having to repair some cars.

Hope this makes you feel better about the paintwork, it puts my mind at rest.

P.S Thanks for your kind help with using your car for Tanias wedding day.

That makes it four Focus RS and one Sapphire Cosworth.

Cheers

Clayton Borg
