Default who's got a new focus rs???????

my mate needs to see a blue one asap.
he has brought one basically blind without seeing one and is awaiting delivery but its gonna be late october by the looks of it!!!!
he is now having second thoughts after seeing a green one so he wanted to see a blue one in the flesh to make sure its the right colour for him.
he is prepared to travel.
based in essex.

Has he tried asking the dealer, he is buying it from, if they can find another dealer nearby that may have a blue one in the showroom?

saw a white one yesterday and to be honest i wasnt that impressed.
it would look much better in blue or green.
and i have one major issue with it, whats with all the fake vents on it?
jesus, i really cant believe how tacky they are being all fakes appart from the bonnet vents.
you watch them get modified to working vents.
appart from that its very nice

My mate has ordered a green one and its arrived the other day, he is not accepting it because the bumpers side skirts and bonnet vents are all a different colour from the body. Apparently all the green one are like this and ford wont do anything about it... tossers.

This suppose to be the return of the RS and they cant even get the colour right ..... nice one ford
