Yes the car was originally built by Rob @ SCC Performance & he was the first proper tuner in the UK to bolt a GT28 setup onto the Focus RS - funnily enough after only a matter of weeks of owning the car Pumaspeed were offering exactly the same GT28 conversion & claiming it as their own "custom" setup 
However that car is far removed from the decent tuned & driveable FRS that it was when Rob owned it - Pumaspeed managed to turn the poor car into the ultimate chavmobile with the WRC kit (that is not that great a fit), a really poor job of a respray in white with loads of other areas a miriad of imperial blue, black, etc (probably the reason for the graphics)
& best of all was their decision to remove the FRS interior & dash, doorcards, etc replace them with the cheaper ST170 options 
The original poster referred to it as "stunning" but if you've seen it up close you'll realise just how bad it actually is - especially if you saw it @ Ford Fair last year - even the engine bay looks a bloody mess
If anyone wants to spend near on Ł20k for that car as it is they are fucking mad
especially when you know that the lad who originally won it when it was raffled by Mintex sold it to that dealer for Ł8.5k
Nice markup its got on it right now
