Mate, its the other way round, I own the black Focus above I have 3 collection bumpers in mint condition, I was just wondering if I should change the look of my car. But apparently that would be sacrilage!

Much prefer the blue bumper to the black one, your bonnet looks ok though.

Appreciate the suggestion Ruth, but after thinking more about it, I really NEED that bonnet vent to reduce temps...that fookin' manifold get's hot!

Not too long to go now - Ian is finishing the headwork & then Rob will be putting it all back together - once remapped will be nicely over 400

oh sorry didnt realize mate. I thought you owned the blue focus!

Seriously though collection bumpers are worth a small fortune nowadays and is quite possibly the nicest front bumper available for the focus bar the RS one which I see is what you have. Tough choice but I dont think you would regret it if you did the swap

Nah, after thinking about it, I think I would. Not enough of a mouth on the Collection to aid cooling issues. Plus the fibreglass WRC front I have (those 3 letters add 400bhp ) is quite heavy, so helps with keeping the front end down on launches!

I might sell these collections fronts I have, keep one as a spare...
