everyone has reasons to change so fair enough, i like the front end on these, look very mean, the rest is a bit max power, and the wheels really let it down, also hate ford interiors

maybe lowered and spacers may sort it,

anyway thats just my opinion, happy motoring

Very nice - almost bought one of these when was looking to change the wifes Focus ST-2 - only thing that stopped me was it only came in 3 door version.

Was very impressed with the way it drove - so much better than the ST.

As i couldnt really find anything to swap the Focus St for i decided to sell the S4 and buy an RS4 :)

I was split between an RS4 and the new RS Focus a couple of year ago. Used to have a pepped up ST, probably the best car ££ per smiles i've owned, although i think most would agree that the style of the RS4 is little more mature... perhaps SWMBO had a say in that too ;)

Hope you enjoy, look forward to your comaparison report :)

I thought you would have kept the cab longer considering how much you spent on mods.Are you stripping the mods or selling as it is? (I seen your ad for the alloys)I really like the the Focus RS so. :thumbs: from me.

sorry dude, but that front end looks good, but what the hell happened to the rear end, what's that on the roof?

Was my template that hard to put together that you had to sell the RS4? LOL
