2016 Focus RS - latest on power, price or launch date?

Same wheels, different colour.

[Legacywr]

I stand by my statement!

[Playo]

For the non pedantic nit picker, they are the same wheels beside the colour variation.

Happy now?

We don't get those wheels in the UK!

You will if you order them through any Ford dealer - FINIS 1937379 about £291 each retail.

(Same price as the silver ones so don't know why they couldn't have been an option)

[Playo]

So they ARE available in the UK then

[Legacywr]

Well, they're not when you spec your car, you actually have to order them as spare wheels?

[Playo]

No moving the goal posts! You stood by your statement that they were not available in the UK, you didn't say anything about being able to spec them on the car.

Sorry to be pedantic

[Legacywr]

Ithink we'll have to agree... we are both right!

[Dal3D]

When I find a good set of 235/35/19 tyres on a decent offer then I might get a spare set of the darker multispoke RS alloys as I really like them. Don't want any kwik fit muppet types going near my alloys to swap tyres over just yet!

I'd be interested to see what the optional forged alloys would look like in a lighter colour.

Someone on the FRSOC has had their wheels changed to anthracite (as well as yellow callipers and a black wrap for the mirrors and roof).

This thread as helped me decide three things.

I am sticking with the standard wheels as opposed to upgrading to the forged wheels, having them done in gloss black rather than anthracite and finally, while the wheels are off the car I will be lowering it 20mm all round.

I'm also going to speak to the guy that wraps my vans for me to see how well he can wrap all the black/grey plastic bits on the front and rear in Carbon Fibre.....along with the mirrors and possibly the roof

Picked mine up today. It's awesome.

Have to say I like that.

It's ugly... but it's also interesting, aggressive and striking. And combined they make for a great looking car. Not really sure how Ford do it, all of the RS Focus' look great.

Whereas things like the Merc A45 AMG look equally ugly, but also boring and to me, don't look great.

Cheers.

Love the way the paint reflects:

Nice. Have ordered the same spec

[JontyR]

Oh the wait is killing me!

gone slightly off centre with ordering a white one....my personal feeling is that all Rs models should be in white.
Didnt get the sunroof, nor the painted callipers, but ticked every other box!!

So happy...but slumming it in a normal focus at the moment

I like them like that but I don't like how they are darker in the middle. Might do the same with mine, or wait and see if I scuff one and then do it.

Me too. I just ticked every option except city stop. The pearlescent in the paint is what sold me on the blue.

Did everyone else add the extended 5 years warranty?

[Dal3D]

The 5 year warranty for £320 seemed a no brainer for me. And the 3 years servicing too. In for a penny...

[Gamekeeper]

Not yet, but I might well go for that - seems good value. Went for everything, including the sunroof and a second set of rims for Michelin Alpinsport winter tyres
