Default Focus RS #1669

Hey guys

Been a member of PF for a while now but never posted my project, Because I felt mine might be a bit...........well not very interesting to read compared to some of the crazy projects that are on here, but now I feel that I should post the progress of my car

So this Focus RS 1669 as standard when I bought her back in November 2007





The First Mod!

Some Team RS Flaps





ST170 Lights were next



K&N Gen II





De-Badged



Some new rubber Falken FK452's, never again................



Then came the black wheesl!

Fucking hell sweet car mate!

If I was being picky (as I really can't fault it anywhere!) the FRST bonnet vents look a bit lost on that bonnet mate. I appreciate they are a subtle touch but I don't know, they may grow on me!

VERY nice RS you got there...makes me miss the one i had even more.
Subtle , yet perfect mods on the exterior, and i KNOW the manifold and turbo upgrade is going to do well - just get hold of a new upgraded clutch asap as the std item won't keep up with your new torque numbers..

COOl car , "joel likes this" (abit too much facebook influence on me theese days i guess!! :P )

Looks good except for the colour coded grille surround - i've never liked them on the frs as it seems to a) remove it from the design language of the rest of the front end (black fogs, black mesh.....black grille) and b) subjectively, removes some of the aggression of the look...

What are these johnfrs spec turbos that people keep mentioning? Is it someone off rsoc?

Liking the guage pod + black wheels
