Default Decisions, decisions help please!

Hi guys,

Right managed to convince the wife on a 5dr Focus ST2(family car ), problem is what colour?

She likes red with white strips on the side! I like white and can get somone to make up red strips for the side, just to be different.

Any pics of 5drs with or without strips in any colour would help, and maybe we'll get the car some time this year!!

Thanks in advance peeps

i noticed a guy round the corner from me has bought a blue ST 5 door, and it looks really nice without any stripes on it.

Yeah i was thinking that, but then the strips do break up the colour nicely.

In my search for pictures i found this, some good photoshop work

Sorry if it's been put up before but i thought it was really cool, come on ford make it

I was thinking of the orange, but then i was talking to a friend of mine who works from a chip and dent repair company. He said that he wouldn't touch it if it had any body dmage, as it's a five layer special paint job and the whole panel would have to be repainted

I did think about the blue aswell, but TBH i would always be thinking how much better it would look in Imperial blue

So i am seriously thinking of getting a focus rs now, but the wife ain't to sure about that, think she's got a point when she says i should just make my mind up

you could always get the car wrapped, 100% covered in high grade PVC (like they do to BTCC cars) and have any colour you like.

Focus RS is a VERY nice car, but did you know Wolf are releasing thier Focus ST 300bhp Ford approved conversion on 8th May

I can put you in touch with the company that does all the SEAT BTCC cars if you like, but they are up here in Northampton.

Have you seen it in the flesh though ? I saw one at my local dealership and was disappointed the color wasn't more "in your face".
It looks really bright in adverts/magazines, etc... and yet, in daylight, it's kind of flat and dull.

I'd get a blue one, but it's your choice

RichardC PM sent mate.

frog The blue is nice but like i said before it would be so much better if it was Imperial blue! TBH i think we are steering back to black again, i've had so many black cars i wanted something different but they look so nice in black.

Has anybody on here got a black ST they could put pictures up of?
