Love it.............and I think that's because it's different 
At first didn't like the look of the wheels and thought it'll be too bling.
I was wrong wasn't I
Looked at this colour a good while ago but it wasn't available as Ford wouldn't release the colour code until the RS Focus was released.........very nice.

Mate, I cannot get into words how good i think this car is, and I cannot wait to see it done.The strange thing is, for such an old car, that a lot of the subtle touches you have added really bring it up to a modern look
