This boot sticker - yay or nay?
Seen this on another forum, just wonder if it is quite a cool retro throwback, or a bit chav?
Probably wouldn't stick on the turbo part but the other bits to replace the original.

I quite like it. I don't think black would stand out to well on your ST though Rich.

But.. but... Clarkson called it the Focus Asbo on Top Gear?! Get it?? ..that's why they had the Asbo badge, haha... hah.... ha.....
*tumbleweed*
I agree Chop, it's fucking embarrassing seeing people refer to it as the Asbo because of an unfunny comment made on Top Gear years ago.
Cheers,
Grant

Car is too new to get away with it, and the Asbo badge is now very common and makes me cringe every time

Think it might look okay without the turbo bit, but de-badge would surely look the best option.

maybe without the Turbo its a nice little retro-throwback.. there was another Focus ST with graphics on the front like the RS1600i... wasnt sure on that either
