Thanks for the pic, interesting find.

I thought the RS came in 3 door only? You can find RS badges on ebay easily enough...

Thought it might be good for a laugh

The least they could have done is put the badge in the right spot.

There's quite a few guys getting around with RS wings on XR5's though. Looks damn hot.

I agree, Sarge. There's one I see on a regular basis and it love it.

And like the Mk1 RS there's no mistaking it with a "regular" Focus I assure you.

If this guy is gonna try and convince me he is driving an RS, the least he could do is remove the XR5 Turbo badges....

May as well add cobra stickers under the side indicators as well....

It's people like this that deserve to be shot! I'm a hater of those who put badges on a car that doesn't match the spec level. This is the equivalent of sticking Chev badges on your Holden of choice, VTEC badges on your Honda without said VTEC, or TURBO badges on regular N/A vehicles.

SHAME SHAME SHAME


Oh yeah, stripes are another issue, but i want get started on that :P

Last time I talk to you..... lol.

P.S. I put stripes on my car within a few months of buying it which means my car had stripes before the launch of the XR4 let alone the LV XR5

I have a feeling I know the location. I wonder whether the Toll guy knows the "value" of his cargo?
