I do like outward rolled exhausts but as said it probably
wouldnt look right on a standard looking car
You got many miles on it Simon?

I'm putting a downswept on mine, but for this one a simple aftermarket Focus RS tailpipe would be ideal and will stick to the modified FRS looking theme.

Looks great, get it in a mag now. Gotta be the nicest, near factory looking example out there. But exhaust needs changing still

Why, you planning on shagging it?
Nah mate, you have the aftermarket wheels, so a basic miltek FRS backbox will look well.

Yeah defo , graham , ive already got some camber figures , but i know they will change as all the new bushes and suspension settles (100-500 miles or so)
So ill re check the camber then fit the shims and re check it again

Exactly how ford should have built it. Nicest conversion I've seen.

Does look porn, are you actually driving it or have you bought shares in WD40 like I have to keep it mint under the bonnet?
Tailpipe still needs enlarging though

They are too new and too good to cut up ! Maybe px them for a knackered set then re trim them ?? Or fit bucket seats and remove all the interior ?? Plenty of scope

In my eyes to mate this car 100% mint I would put nice black leather trim inside its just that I'm not a big fan blue ford put it inside the mk2 st200 limited adishon and it killed that car this is only my forts . But saying all this your car is one of the best out there and I would love to own the keys to it

Black leather ST170 recaro trim would do just nicely , before these mint RS seats get ruined.

How about mk2 ST3 leathers? Full electric adjustable and I have seen a couple of mk1 focus's with them in so they do fit. Probably quite heavy though!

Yeah I did consider the mk2 seats but I may have located some mk1 focus recaros , direct fit makes it easier

I wouldn't change them at all, maybe get a set of other Focus RS seats to have the blue bits retrimmed in maybe a dark grey. It's too factory to just fit ST170 seats in, make it look like the MK1 RS had an option of colours like the MK2
