Although the stickers aren't my thing, this looks great! Nice to see a different wheel and they suit the car well

Bit undecided on the green rim though, it does look good but I think it would be even better without

Mud flaps are a must on these cars or the under side of the sills soon gets pepperd in stone chips .
I have them on my RS and imo suit the car .

Lovely car, but HATE the stty window deflectors, tinted windows, tacky stickers, and PRO plastered across the radiator.

Bet it goes some though.

Great bits: has 400bhp (I bloody hope so), has pro-alloy rads and I suspect, probably makes a very nice noise.

Not so great bits: K-Sport brakes, Rota Wheels, Stickers (especially the Revo one.. would avoid like the plague) and the fact that the focus RS is a heavy car.

Still, i'm sure the owner has a lot of fun in it and that's what counts.

So you don't think the brakes wheels or stickers are great because you don't like the brands?

Why exactly not if so...

Evening all, I got some pictures of my friends car, and wondered what you thought of it!

What do you think?
Love the colour, like the car, hate the stickers (are they paying for the advertising???), the exhaust looks stupid (completely stupid) and the wheels are a bit "meh" with the green rings on. Like them being black though.

smile

EDIT:

Taking another look that exhaust really ruins the whole car frown waay out of proportion. Ok if it had a quad turbo 8 litre V12 you could forgive it, but not a 2.5 Seriously there are jet aircraft with smaller outlets.

I agree entirely with 300bhp on this point (something I never thought I'd say). smile

Just looks utterly ridiculous with those two massive pipes.

Apart from the stickers and exhausts I think it looks brilliant.

Love the madness of the colours and even find the stickers pleasant. However, the stretched tyres are just a bit, cliche really, i know im gonna catch barrels of flak stating a mild ammount of stretch stops a bit of tyre wall deflection or whatever, i just think it cheapens the car.

Don't know where i stand with the wheels, they lend to the darkness added to the car via the stickers and whatnot and theyre not too bad, its just the choice of rim guard green thing and tyres that stop it from having real potential.

Love the car , although i'd lose the stickers , 400bhp , i've found my one's a bit of a nightmare with 300BHP that's with good tyres not ditchfinders

Bet she sounds nice enjoy smile
