Default Focus RS - subtle facelift complete!!
Wanted to freshen the old girl up a bit and after some ideas from National and Central Day got myself new plates, some smoked repeaters, indicators, headlights and breaklights and some colour-coded washer jets and front grille

here's before...







here's a bit of both!!





and now...











I have to say I'm well chuffed with the results, the front end looks so much cleaner. The only thing I'm not too sure of are the rear light clusters, might have a go at smoking the originals

I like the smoked rears, but dont like the smoked fronts. Clears looked much better.

As long as your happy thats the main thing

Rab Definitely think I'll be giving that a go!

I prefer the old look tbh mate, the new lights on the front make it look like an FRS Kitted ST170!

Kinda prefer the new rear lights though, they are an improvement over the OE stuff
