PassionFord Post Whore!!
I doubt they were taking orders before it was announced.
I doubt any kits have been delivered for fitting.
Therefore it's extremely unlikely that anyone has had a kit fitted, unless they have done a Press car.

Copied from a post on FT-
Quick update on this - was lucky enough to have a go in Mountune's Focus RS MP350 conversion today. It's an aftermarket package which, crucially, retains the Ford warranty, but it's essentially the same power upgrades the RS500 will be subject to. I'd love to tell you it wasn't what I expected but, simply put, it was. It's a Focus RS with the heat turned up a bit more. It's very, very, very good. And it made me giggle an awful lot and do all sorts of childish gibbering noises. Fast, obviously - the sort of fast which makes your mind go all melted and wibbly. The RS's handling is still just as remarkable, and the lack of torque steer is hardly affected by the extra power. The noises are fantastic on song; a deep-chested warble from the 5-pot motor, lots of boost whoosh and even chatter on a fast gearchange. And there's still that amazing blend of practicality, usability, and then just when you fancy it, exhilaration verging on sheer terror. In short, whether we're talking RS500 or Mountune MP350, this is an instant classic, and one of the best new cars around.
And, you have to ask yourself: dressed up as Mountune's press demo was, isn't it pretty much as good-looking as the RS500 itself? Perhaps, some might say, more so?
