Default New RS Grille

Been looking at one of these from GGR...

http://www.grahamgoode.com/focus/pro...?partno=GGF083

..as unfortunately mine seems to have a bit of a bump



What does everyone think? Will it look weird without the ss lower grille?

Thanks

Bish

Been looking at these myself Bish - not sure what they'd look like and would have to see one in the flesh I think

True Andy, shame all the shows are over till next year!

I'm just worried it will look tacky if the grilles don't match and I haven't got £350 odd for both at the mo

The RS is only 2 colours for a reason! Its very cleverly designed with the black bits complementing the blue and breaking up the sea of blue a little! To add a third colour IMO spoils it!

Having one chrome and one black is gonna look pretty poor IMO!

IMO i think it would look quite kewl with the black surround and the SS mesh.

Nice shiney bit, then the black that still breaks up the ocean of Blue

Err nope

I said stainless centre, black surround, you've found the opposite.

Also that one is...............

1. Reach Arm and hand out in a horizontal position.
2. Drop hand down into a vertical position
3.

lol what are you doing up at 4am!!!

Sorry what I wrote didn't really make much sense...what I meant was I do like the idea of the new mesh but I've found a replacement grille which looks pretty standard but its a little different at the same time!

I'm gonna hold off on the bling look because I don't have enough money for both at the mo (having just skinted myself with a new RS!!!) and because I'm not really sure if I like it yet, going to have to see one in the flesh!!

I do like the torquesteer focus270 tho and its pretty much the same spec as mine too
