that focus ST have big gaps where side skirt ends join and where wing joins to A pillar, they got less width inside than a mk2 puntoand horrible blanking plates where head lamp washers should be?

i'll sleep easier tonight!
Very nice as they are, I never wanted one anyway 
i wouldnt pay for one- if it was given to me I'd have it
think im going down the classic route for my next motor- if i can get a job closer to work

tbh Ide rather have the mk1 focus RS. Looks far nicer, althought the ST is still a nice car.
surely it would be more PC just to buy a frigging volvo? since its got a volvo engine, volvo derived g'box, volvo derived front sus and pick ups (c30) and a volvo ecu setup.
buy the c30, tis more powerful (from what i've heard) looks nicer, and every cnt doesn't have one
oh there aren't any badly fitted/bodged panels on the volvo either

also if you have the 150 bhp focus st and buy the 170 bhp focus air filter feed pipes and boxes and sh** and exhaust and fit them all too your 150 u get 170 bhp in your 150 bhp st little fact from the ford dealer when my mate was looking for one settled on the fiesta st though
but i still wouldnt have one

because, alas, it cost a shed more, and handles worse
which when you buying a hot hatch is kinda the point :chin:
so, it's still faster than any punto mk2?
it has a 2.5 litre, five cylinder turbo'd engine. which is approx 225bhp. (and 320Nm at 1600rpm :slayer: ) so i dunno where 150/170bhp has come from!

I had a short (and I mean short ) test drive of an ST. It handled nicely and sounded quality but imo wasnt as fun to drive as... other rival cars Fit and fisnish was iffy as well on this particular car. So I agree with Dave on that one.
Im pretty sure all but the lowest STs have xenons so those plates lift up and washers pop out! Much better looking than ones that stick out.

as other rival cars, does a punto mk2 rival a Focus ST? not imo!!

i agree with the headlamp washer plates (which allows you to fit washers if you want), but the rest is pure nonsense dave. are you sure you weren't looking at a ST replica?

depends if he has xenon lights or not. if they are xenon they will be rising jets. if not, he should've spent some more money and got xenon lights ;p
