Haha of course they are staying silver, black looks terrible in my opinion.

Yep 100% genuine, bought from BMW. i haven't done the exhaust mod yet and I'm not sure I will. I quite like having a quieter car after my Focus RS.

Competition Wheels wrapped in Michelin Super Sports Fitted.

Individual has silver surrounds

Looks good mate, nice to see it's still in the warranty, if you can continue the warranty it will be a lot cheaper as there won't be a gap from new. it doesn't have individual audio mind so I would make sure it has at least 1 upgrade of audio (the bog standard audio is shocking apparently)...

Feel free to send me pics/advert and I'll have a look over it if you want. I looked 5 months for mine.

oooft the Individual Audio is apparently very good. Sometimes dealers get confused with it though, if it is individual audio it should have silver speaker surrounds. yep, it will blip on downshifts. The DCT is a masterpiece.

Make sure it has EDC and an upgraded sound package (should have a tweeter in the a pillar or even better it will say Harmon Kardon on the tweeter cover) without these they can be difficult to sell.

haha safe to say that people prefer the comps. my poor bank balance.

So I'm looking to get some new alloys as the current ones have a few marks. I have the choice of either a new set of the current ones for £800 or a set of competition alloys for ~£1500. What do you think? Pic below of competition wheels.

2008 - Introduced DCT semi automatic box 2009 - CIC idrive (much easier to control with a larger HD screen) 2010 - LED rear lights 2011 - Combox added (Bluetooth music streaming, apps, internet on the move) In 2009 they also changed the front grill, cup holders, start button and a coupe of...

Agreed, I'm not a fan of the all black grills as they look modified rather than oem.

Before After

Fitted the Chrome/Black Grills I'm not 100% but what do you lot think?

They are £600 from BMW or around £425-450 second hand. You buy a plug and play harness from BMW so they take 15 mins to fit. They will work perfectly legal once fitted but you need them coding to remove the bulb check and to slow down the indicator speed.

LCI LED lights are now fitted and coded.

yes please, pm me if you could. whats it like on the motorway?

you've had yours done? I'm really worried that it'll be loud/boy racer style. I'm interested in the 2 pipe mod.

Covered a few miles in this now and absolutely love it. It will be going for a few laps around the Nurburgring next month to really stretch its legs. Fitting LCI LED Rear Lights and LCI Chrome/Black grills once they arrive tomorrow. Also looking to buy some 359M Competition Wheels for it...

Today parked near PC world

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Sharky my blue 172 track car is with Fred and has a brand new alloy radiator sat in the boot if it's any good for you, Fred knows I want to sell it so ask him if it would suit your car. Look at my Ph-1 172 (racing blue track car) to see the type.

That's my next choice actually, I'm not sure if I should refurb the current set or buy some competition alloys. unlike most, I think I prefer the standard alloys.

Motorway miles, on the way back from Brighton (Cruise control set at 77mph) : Typically around town I would say around 16-20mpg. If you are thinking about getting one, don't buy one unless it has: DCT EDC Some form of uprated audio system (pref Logic7/HK or Individual)

Thanks everyone :-) DCT and EDC are a must. The gearbox is unbelievable! When I drive in automatic mode it feels like 1 gear, you can't feel the changes at all.

Picked it up on Saturday and I am very pleased with it. The DCT semi-automatic box is unbelievable, you cant even feel the changes. I even managed 29.6mpg driving from Brighton to Hertford. The first thing I did was to change the silver dash trims to the OEM Carbon Leather dash trims. Parked...

The Focus RS is now sold and the replacement has been found. Pick this up on Saturday, can't wait! Carl

Exactly that, it's a Mongoose Exhaust. It's also very dirty.

not sure yet,I haven't had chance to check the market. Spec: Hybrid Turbo SS Exhaust + Decat 4-1 Uprated Exhaust Manifold K&N Induction Forge Actuator and DV Blitz Adjustable Boost Controller AP 6 Pot Calipers with 2 piece disc + upgrades such as updated thermostat housing etc

Decided to grab some quick photos after I got the RS cleaned today. After 3 years of ownership, I think it's now time to sell. thanks, Carl

yeah it's not as fast as my Mini Retina but it's perfect for my girlfriend to use for web browsing. Carl
