Like that. Am in the market for something like this but struggling to find anything. Want an estate really, which instantly seems to make it a pain in the arse.
Good job on taking off all the tat. I have a deep hatred for wind deflectors.
I can't really see a difference to be honest. One is a Focus with some extra gauges and fancy Recaro seats, while the other is, err, a Focus with some extra gauges and some fancy Recaro seats. The MK3 Focus doesn't have the most attractive dash in it's class (though neither did the MK2), but...
