I am loving the RS kit, and I don't mind the stripes. Charcoal stripes over the top of a silver Focus would float my boat.

You can get RS copy kits in Aus I thought, check out the links on the eurofordclub site (under web links on the main page I think). I thought either SSV or that Melbourne company did RS look alike kits for the Focus. They have alot there anyway. Some styling company.

In any case, I don't like the European Parts kit. Looks like a crap add-on that you would see on a drifter. In my opinion.

Alkon Bodykits in Melbourne (think that was their name,or something similar anyway) did the RS kit for LR's, the front bumper was 99% similar to the OEM one and unless you really knew what to look for you wouldnt pick it. From memory the difference was the foglight/indicator setup.

Back when I had mine, I asked them about a kit and they had 3 left. I havent had mine for over 12 months now though so I dont know if they still would or not. Would be worth finding out though as it would save you a packet to get one here instead of importing one.

Def RS kit is a killer. Stripes is a personal call but I would go with them definitely.

Okay i just did some calculations. Here is the list of potential mods id do:

Focus RS Rear Bumper
Focus RS side skirts
Focus RS rear spoiler
Focus RS front bar
Focus RS front fenders x2
Focus RS indicators
Focus RS handbrake Handle Sparco
Focus RS Headlight kit
Focus RS gear knob
Focus RS emblem
Focus RS OZ racing Rims 18" x4

Ford Focus Excedy Stage 2 clutch kit
Quaiffe ATB LSD Diff
Eibach Anti Roll kit
Interior retrimmed
Powerworks Supercharger kit

This all comes to just under $15,000

Also that price does not include painting of the bodykit, nor the installation of the bodykit, or the installation of any mechanical device.

Id be up around the 20,000 mark with all that installed.

so yer YIKES!

ohh i also forgot to mention. that price is excluding delivery from the UK and Europe.

i may have to go the Lumma Kit that Timmeh Showed me with Standard Ford side skirts and rear bumper.....



All thes

Note of interest: I think I read somewhere the other day, that the Focus RS had a wider track that the standard Focus, therefore if one was to add the full RS body work, it would still end up looking odd, as the wheels would sit well inside the arches.

Just as well it was to bloody expensive Sean
