The previous owner had it done, I have been trying to get replacement Ford badges but in yellow. The place that did sell them had their license revoked by Ford and I haven't been happy with the quality of some eBay ones I've been sent. It's on the todo list and it might not be running Revo software soon

Couldn't give a monkeys about the badges either way.

I know there is quite a bit of hate around the RS due to the barry boys look but I just don't get it - I seriously considered an RS after my ST but just couldn't justify ~18k at the time on a 4 year old Focus 
That said they are great and I really love the noise they make - really gives them the edge above the usual 4 pot hot hatches. Yours looks really great 
Maybe I need to look at the Mk3 RS a little harder

After breaking an alloy in a crater of a pothole I decided to get a few things sorted. The car was sent off to Midlands Car Care again for some TLC and today I picked it back up
Wow....love that.

I often think the same that blowing such a large amount on an ageing Focus is odd but when you consider you will lose next to no money on it when you sell it again it makes more sense
Local car show today but was a great show, loads of variance of motors old and new. Loads of 70's and 80's "hot hatches" which I was loving. Quick machine polish and spruce up on my own car to hide some issues Wasn't looking too bad at all.

I still can not understand why hot Fords have such high residuals but I am sure it is something all other marques would love!
As much as I love a fast Ford I honestly don't know why it is either! I imagine it's just down to the heritage of the RS badge because Ford could put that badge on a turd and people would pay over the odds for it

Homer are you going to be at Ford Fair this year? Will keep an eye out for it if so
Fingers crossed I will be, I bought tickets through the club so I am planning on being there
Maybe see you there!

stormster, you have some nice ford wheels on a completely different ford that they are not supposed to be on, which makes that car of yours look really good, is that an ST or something?

Cool will come over and check the car out, I know I've said it before but it's one of the nicest RS' I've seen so can't wait to see it in person.
I'm on the fiestastoc.com stand and going out on track for the Dreamscience session

It's an ST with ST wheels
oh ok I dint realise they were actually ST wheels, seen very similar ones on mondeos and foci so wasn't entirely sure
Ford do the same design for different models which are 17" (ST are 18") and have a differently concaved face I believe.
