Default New car - FRS #1610

Hi all, after about 3 years break and having a speight of Audi's im finally back in an RS

Bought this last friday. its in real good condition and its bone standard, it really drives great feels quick in standard form. Love the way it handles - really planted

Any way heres a couple of pics - it looks like any other FRS






want to do things like restore the steering wheel, maybe get some decent tyres on it and then maybe a small power upgrade - im not sure i want to mess with it tbh as it does me fine

Hope to come to some local meets soon

I love the way FRS's look straight out the box! Very tasteful styling as standard . Don't change a thing! Steering wheels do suffer tho

No Focus RS's had a splitter as standard, they are all aftermarket but really compliment the car and just finish off the front. Got to get round to fitting one on mine as i think that's all a standard car needs.

So true mate so i wish people would stop putting black wheels on them (time to put the tin opener back after opening can of worms lol).

Kam, i was like you, looked for a standard car and intended to keep it standard but you soon want more. Now trying to decide on either a Jamsport or Sabre map to gain a few more horses. They really are awesome cars and great fun to drive, enjoy it mate.
