Hi
I've just bought a 2007 st3, I've got a genuine Rs bodykit, (front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts) etc. does anyone know if I can fit the bumpers etc straight on? I know the Rs is facelifted so I need to change the bonnet and lights etc but does the slam panel need changing? I know the wings and rear quarters are wider but I can sort that with the glue on arches.
Thanks for any help anyone can give

 

Just buy an RS.
Replicas are ultimately, quite queer.

 

Not if done properly, and it's not a 1.6, it's an st3

 

stick on arches will look awful, as said get it sold and buy an RS. By the time you've sourced the rest of the parts, had it all painted etc it'll be one very expensive ST! Not to mention doing something with the wheels as you'll need to widen the track to fill the bigger arches.

 

Ok thanks for all your help!

 

don't think richie is being funny but 9 times out of 10 you put so much money into a car your better off not wasting it as ive found out the hardway,but if you plan on keeping the car and know your gonna loose money then go for it,I know when I facelifted the vectra c I had to change the slam pannel as the wing brackets were different and where the headlights bolt to,search google for focus facelift

 

Right I've got on with this and it's almost done, I've fitted genuine ford parts and it's 3/4 wrapped in 3m Matt black. I'm ordering wheel spacers to put on it as the 19" Rs wheels are sitting in the big arches. I'm gonna order the 40mm spacers but what is the measurement? Is it 5 x 108? I just want to order them correctly
Thanks for any help u can give, it's 2007 st-3
How do I put a pic on here? I'll post one it looks really good

 

When I say 3/4 wrapped I mean 3/4 done, not Im only wrapping 3/4 of it

 

Apparently I need to know the centre bore size too?

All Focus from 2004 on are 63.3mm

 

 

 

 

Certainly don't look queer to me!

 

Fair play for cracking on with it, looks good in that pic above. Focus's are 5x108 wheel fitment for your spacers

 

Thanks very much mate, I'll get them ordered

 

looking fantastic, i like it

 

Just picked up full Rs exhaust from turbo to tailpipes so should sound proper too! I'm looking for 2 front Rs seats if anyone has em?

 

Dont forget wheel spacers

 

I've just bought led rear lights and wondered if anyone knows how to fit them? Any help is much appreciated!

 

any more pics mate?

 

Front bumper and wing gap needs looking at on N/S , other than that well done for not being put off it does look good my man .

 

brave attempt and looks like its paying off, good stuff!

 

Front bumper in the pic was left undone to wrap properly, will post more pics when wheel spacers turn up

 

Just a quick pic of it wrapped

 

Good work. Fit the spacers and lower it and it'll look smart!

 

Jobs left to do, fit wheel arch liners and wheel spacers, fit led rear lights, fit spoiler and bonnet grills, general check and tighten up of all bumpers etc. can't wait! Oh fit headlight washer jets and covers too, as they're different from the st

 

Oh rear side windows and back window being tinted next week too

 

fair do's m8,whats it cost you from st3 to when its finished,when I did my vectra it cost me about a grand including new shape wheels,confused a few people new shape on a 53 plate

 

looking good mate !!

have you got the rs spoiler ?? looks really strange with out the spoiler lol

love the matt black top job

 

Yes I've got the spoiler, just gotta fit it.
Can anyone help with the rear lights? I've put them in but they're not wired.
Thanks

 

 

Better with wheel spacers!

 

Looks good, but your not going to have it badged as an Rs are you?

 

looks good mate ignore the haters, its your car

 

No not badged as RS, but as RS500

 

Fair play for doing it mate, what do you think the price in parts was? Pm me if you dont want everyone to know
