Nice - Rear wheels dont stick out enough though, i would space them out to fill the arches then it would be perfect

I think Ford used to sell full kits too, assembled. They called it a Focus RS. They used genuine parts.

looks awesome in both grey and white. It's amazing how different a FRS can look in different colours to blue!! A credit to you both.

A much neater solution choosing to use a genuine shell, looks really good. I went down the fibreglass route because I was going to turn it into a stage rally car, so it's lighter (and cheaper to repair). Plus I did mine about 5 or 6 years ago when FRS bits were scarce, unless you wanted to pay ford Ł200 for a wing etc etc, not very practical for razzing through the forest. But I ended up shelving this and bought a focus RS powered fiesta mk5 for rallying.

I feel compelled to finish it, although to be honest, should relly have just bought the real thing, cheaper in the long run if you value your time.

Not a rep a one off but has FRS front bumper but even that was modded to fit lol. All the arches etc are hand fabricated. FRS engine 310 bhp thought id kind of add a black one to the mix

definatly should have done a variety of colours i think the vast majority agree on that, as for the mk1 focus rs it was imperial blue not performance blue.
