looks mean, some of the styling is a bit chavy like the vauxhall vxr cars

exactly what it reminded me of. except it looks worse.

Why do all these rubbish cars have diffusers on the rear.

DannyW · 13 Mar 2008 at 22:18

cos its cool

I quite like that. The front is very aggressive and the bonnet I think hints back to the old performance escorts with the vents. Wheels look too big, but I suppose that's a matter of taste.

Except the dials... need to be blue rather than orange - yuk.

I was just thinking that, look a bit like the ones on the ERST.

Nah, the RST vents fitted in...they look out of place and need a bit more thought. And i thought the thing with the new Focus RS was the fact it could be made 4wd and we would get a 'Cosworth' version?.

IIRC Ford sold the "Cosworth" label so that would be impossible.

I think I like it, not sure about that colour doing it justice, Black or Blue would look nice!
