Default WRC Vs RS Arches...

How do these compare to Focus RS arches?

Do they line up well?

Seen the WRC arches, well whole kit actually in flesh. My opinion is its looks good, but a bit too much for me. Dont to personal preference. Me FRS kit all the way.

Ok, what I should have asked was:

I've got custom arches on my Focus, and I also have purchased a FocRS Front Bumper, unfortunately they don't quite match up (angle of arch, length of arch etc.), so what I'm trying to find out is does the FocRS bumper match up the above arches?

The WRC arches are much wider than those fitted to the FRS - hence why FRS bumper wont line up with the aftermarket arches - if you want the WRC arches you will need the remainder of the wrc kit bumpers, skirts, etc - if you want to use an FRS bumper then similarly you will need the FRS arches if you dont want to go down the lines of arch modding, etc & just want them to bolt on

This what the arches look like...


Trial fitting the bumper...


In reality, this is the issue, my arches are more extended than an RS's, and the angle different.


Looks like I'll be hacking a genuine RS bumper around...
