cheers for all the good comments, i went and saw the car yesterday for the first time and it looks bloody good in the flesh, especially when we held one of the wheels up to it and that interior is perfect for it.

Looks just as good as I imagined it would.

Some dark centre caps on the wheels would go down a treat though.


Cheers,

Very very nice, Colour suits it perfect.

Why Ford didn't offer a wider range of colours for these cars is beyond me.

Does look good, look forward to seeing it finished, especially with some interior shots.

Only thing for me is that I don't think the Comps work. I think these need 19s really, or at least to be lowered when fitted with 18s.

I think it's going to pull the colour off well though!

Looks stunning in red, well done for going through all the effort.

Personally I reckon it would look better with the standard wheels painted gloss black, but each to their own, so as long as your happy with the outcome

Cheers for the good comments, i know the wheels arnt most peopese cup of tea but we'll see how we go with them for now, centre caps need doing i agree, but were running out of time before ford fair so these jobs can be done afterwards.

BLOODY HELL!

A very brave man to go for it and by christ does it work for me! Now my number 1 fave RS Focus!
Agree with the opinion of original wheels in black, with the small RS badge on them made black and red.

Top marks fella. A brilliant job!

He proabaly key'd up the chassis rails etc the same way he done the car!, as for the "white bit" it was missed due to the masked up pipe work which has now been done, if it makes ford fair then you can all get your magnify glasses out find the white patches if it makes you feel better im sure most would of done it better.

But as for the people who took an actual interest in the project thanks for the comments and ill post some pics up of the interior and some better side on ones to see how the wheels look.
