Well my Dad owns a Focus rs mk2 in white, hes had it from new and has had the JS400 kit fitted to it and loves it, the part he doesnt like now is the colour, so basically after a bit of a search on the net and some talk he has decided to go from this



to this


only his will be wearing a set of satin black MO 1890's, the idea is that not many red ones exhist so why not?, the car is going in monday to be stripped and catagorised then the paint shop said they want a month to do the work, i will be adding pics of the work etc as it goes, i expect the purists among you wont like the idea of a colour change but if its done properly with every nook and cranny painted proessionally then why not ? i think it will look hard as nails and with the JS400 kit, lowered on avo springs and the colour it should stand out and be a fun car.

 

i think that will look great mate

 

O-M-G stunning in that colour

 

That'll look nice!!

 

red any colour but red well other than green blue and white but red

 

Not that many....................lol

 

Lol they will all come out the wood work now and we'll have to cancel it!, is that a paint colour changed one or wrapped red?, not to sure on the gt40 styling but everyone to their own.

 

If they can get the Red as brilliant and bright as it is in that first picture, then it will be a very striking car indeed!! nice!

 

This is what we have told them, it has to be a high gloss non metalic finish, think the colour they have chosen is a Ferrari colour, ill find out tomorrow and let you lot know.

 

iirc paul the other one posted is a wrap ,

was featured in ff cpl months bk


beef

 

Not a fan tbh.. Prefer the white

 

I think it looks good

 

That looks beautiful in red. Will certainly stand out at a Ford meeting .

 

Think it will look the nut's if it turns out that shiny


Brian

 

Looks lovely in that Red especially as someone already said if it turns out that bright and shiney..

Saying that any colour other than white as gotta be a good thing lol

Cant wait to see the progress

 

Silly question.. but why dont you have it wrapped, that way it can always be returned to standard when it comes time to sell it on,,,,,

 

That will look ace in red. the second pic looks wank, the car is all scratched and faded, must be the bad quality of the wrap crap

 

That will look great in a nice glossy red

 

Looks great in the red, going to take a bit of work to keep it shiny though as red always fades like mad.

If it were me, I would have it like this!

 

Not if you use clear over base as im sure they will

 

Yeah thats it as much laquer as they can ! the colour is ferrair Rosso corsa ? i havnt actually seen the paint book to see what it looks like.

 

im sure it will be sex

 

If it's done properly, this is probably going to be my fav MK2 FRS... always liked the idea of having one in Bright Red on 18" MOs.

The second one posted looks shite with the wank stickers and chavvy finish on the wheels.


Cheers,
Grant

 

white for me a well but, its not my car so

 

Looks hard as nails that!
My old mans is gonna look the bollox in red. I'm gonna persuade him to get the front and rear diffusers in carbon! Lush!

 

Looks smart in red. Mind you I think white is the best of the colours out for them, green is ok but I couldn't have it personally and that blue, wtf is that all about? Talk about bland, it's a very dull colour for a car like this.

Don't think you'll get much bother from 'purists' as they aren't exactly rare cars are they!

Looking forward to the progress shots.

 

i think it will look awsome in red, especially painted!

 

Thats the standard ferrari red you see on all red ferraris, lets just hope they do a better job than ferrari, they aren't renowned for paint perfection.

Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Ginge

 

will look really good that and for the guy who said it will fade it wont fade at all if done in 2 pack just make sure they do engine bay and boot floor otherwise in my eyes it will be a big let down!

 

Its having the lot done mate, a months work to prep and paint they said so should be good.

 

+1 - that looks hard as fook

 

Grey one looks the nuts. Gunmetal grey is my fav colour of all time. Ferrari and lambo's look awsome in that colour.

Anyway, I like the Rs in red, it is different (I haven't seen one) .. As for resale value, who cares.. I own a car to enjoy myself and not the next owner. I don't really care if it drops a few quid in price. If the bodyshop do a good enough job I'm sure it will be a sought after car when / if you sell it on later. I would rather have a decent colour change car than a bodged under bonnet job.

 

Exactly our thoughts

Ive also pm'd Dan @ fast ford to see if its something he might do a little feature on, who knows doesnt hurt to ask!

Also for people who might not know, this is a pic of the wheels we have chosen but obviously ours are satin black with black wheel nuts,

 

will look awesome

 

Anyone else think the 18" MOs look lost on the FRS? Haven't seen one I've liked with them yet.

The Red will look good on the car - think it would look great with standard boots and dropped a bit.

 

fook me that car looks ready for a fight!!! and as for the red love it

 

I agree, think they might look a little small in the huge arches, standard wheels in black would look good, or maybe some of the jap style wheels in 19", Rays or something?

 

The other option was BBS cxns I think they are called, the ones beefys s1 project pic has on.

 

Oh yes, forgot about these wheels, they would look stunning

 

Sorry these are what I meant:

BBS CH-R black
