She's 50mm, but to have it lowered that much you HAVE to have camber adjusters....check out www.prosuspension.com and look them up...awsome bit of kit!
But I gotta raise the suspension at the front by about 10mm because the airbox/decat sometimes hit the floor...

Only messin
, but I've found a beautiful example S1....completely standard except for black leather Recaro's. C Reg, new panels aren't needed as its an ex concours car...it was just collecting dust in the garage.....me thinks a 2nd motor coming on! 
Thanks for the kind comments ppl, I appreciate it! And I've taken those dog ugly back lights off and replaced them with the stock tails...looks much better!

Nice focus, i bet you show a few people up at the lights....
How much was the rs converion in total?
I wanna put 1 in my mk5 fezz.
Pumabuild have put a focus rs engine in a puma, so it can be done in the fiesta, as the're a similar engine bay.

Well since there's only 2000 FRS sold in the U.K. it was pretty tough to find a wrecked one...
So in total, I've saved Ł12k on buying an RS....and its quicker, and black!
I'd stay clear of PumaBUILD if I were you. One MK6 Fezzy i recall is basically a skip because of them...
If you are going to put it into a MK5, make sure you strengthen the shell and seem weld every part of it!

I heard about that geeza with the mk6 fiesta, Simhopper is his name.
Spent about Ł10,000 for them to try and fit a rs focus into a mk6, and it did'nt go as plan from what i've read and heard.
How much was your conversion tho?

@ Simhopper
Just quoting you bud, but perhaps now the story is different since you've corrected their mistakes!
All talk man, get it on the track and find out! 
What's the deal with the chargecooler at the front of yours? What's it from?

im losing the chargecooler and rad setup and in its place will be going a intercooler and water injection
im hoping that with the new setup ill be able to push the rad out a bit so itll give me a bit more room for a turbo upgrade many frs owners have done gt28rs so a gt30/gt3071r seems the way to go
only problems i have now are traction but with road legal slicks on a 275 width these should be sorted
