- A walk around if my Focus RS, talking about all the little OEM plus mods that make the car look that little bit more special 😊

Looks stunning, really nice details. I worked for Ford for many years, and had one brand new (RS09FAN) keeping it for around eighteen months. I sold one in Frozen white like yours to a local customer who still owns it. Kept in bubble, it's still only covered 130 miles. Incredible car and I think so much better than the MK3 that everyone seems to rave about.
Wow that will be worth a lot of money now! They are such special cars though. I’m trying to strike a balance of keeping it tidy and still getting out there in the summer and using it. Always puts a smile on my face 😃
Stunning example. Love the OEM+ look, in my opinion the best way to go. Keep up the great work.
Thank you mate. These cars are just so beautiful from the factory there isn’t all that much that needs to be done to make them perfect in mi opinion 😊
@@CarFocused I fully agree with that, they are awesome from the factory.
Been following your MK2 RS clips for a while...giving me a smile as you are now doing what I should have done back in 2012 when I sold my RS MK2 Lux pack 1 in Frozen white after 3 and a bit years of very enjoyable motoring putting 43,000 miles on the car....it's the car I look back on knowing I should have kept and used as a weekend car....keep up the good work...
Thanks Shaun. They really are great cars, but at least you had those 3 years with it and no doubt have some good memories 😊 I’ll be putting a bit more content out there on this car over the next few weeks so stay tuned 😃
Originality gets my vote every time. I saw the car at Ford Fair and it's a lovely example, well done 👍
Hi Ian, thanks for the comment, appreciate it 😊
Gel badges look well smart!. 👌
You have inspired me now, next show I go to they will be my next purchase. I de-badged my focus letters on my ST. The ST badges front and rear are from the factory I reckon, only 16 years old lol. Your RS looks stunning mate. 🤍 👍.
Thanks mate, it’s amazing how the little touches collectively make the car look much better. Thanks for watching 😃
I love that center wheel cap; I am considering going back to OEM rim as I think OEM one looks the best😍
Fresh is best imo 👌🏻
3:10. The moment the sun appeared. RS pops in the sunshine 🙂 ☀️
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Consider The mongoose section 59 for your cat back.... not ad loud as KMS thunderstorm, but has a very nice note.
Perfect example of a MK2 RS 👌🏼🔥
Thanks Tom 😊
Such a great looking car white would be my go to would love one but just not justify one especially without a garage great video as always
Thanks Chris! Yea the prices are high now and ideally they need pampering at the age they’re at now. I wouldn’t recommend one as a daily anymore 😢
Mate she's looking perfect love these especially oem plus with a tune 👌 😎
Thanks man! Can’t wait to get her to 375 👌🏻
I’m not a big Ford fan but I think your car looks really nice and I think the rear fog light replacement for the left hand drive one was very clever and improves the rear no end 👍
Thanks mate!
Great video I love 2 see the RS out as it should be it's looking stunning keep it up mate
Thank you Alan!😊
@@CarFocused still want 2 buy your car what is your insta?
@@alandonnelly9788 it’s not for sale matey. I’m Car Focused on Insta too 👍🏻
I'm not a ford fan but this car is a credit to you mate and I'm sure a great investment
Thank you 😊
You should become a ford fan, welcome to the dark side
Lots of nice little touches, but they really make a difference.
Every little helps and all that ☺️
very good gazza
Thanks fellow Gary! 😁
Looks good buddy 👍🏻
Cheers dude!
Gorgeous car pal👌
Thanks 😊
In this white color is is nice RS ever.
Looks epic m8 👌🏻😜
Thanks man 👍🏻
Nice video mate! We are on a surprisingly similar journey with our cars. The DMB RS badges make such a difference. I also added the crossover pipe one on mine to match 👍
Thanks James. I do like the crossover one but I have a black / white / yellow theme going on with my engine bay so not sure the blue would go. We must get our cars together next year!
@@CarFocused Yeah I'd be up for that 👍 I'm just about to change the rear discs and pads on mine to match the front. Also bought brand new splash guards as that will make a difference. Think you mentioned you'd also done the same on yours?
@@CarswithJamesMosley I bought the guards a couple of years ago, so will change them when the discs need doing again. I do plan on giving the underside a good clean this winter!
@@CarFocused are they looking tired again already? I'm hoping mine will stay nice after this 🤣
@@CarswithJamesMosley no I haven’t fitted them yet 😂
Awesome video and some great new additions, I know I've mentioned this before but PLEASE buy a quick shift gear kit they're only about £50 and a DIY fit but will transform an already amazing car
Thanks mate! That’s definitely something to consider as the throw is a little long 👍🏻
I like the way of your thinking. Like you id much rather spend the money in keeping my car looking fresh and just how it left the factory.
My wheels are so ready for doing now and the front end needs tidying. Once they’re done I know it will lift the whole car! 👍
That’s it mate. Just refresh and maintain 👌🏻 You going to get the wheels done in the same colour?
@@CarFocused defiantly! Unless you think they look better in another?
@@stephenhankey9684 I’d keep them the colour they are now 👌🏻
@@CarFocused yeah, defiantly! Can’t wait to get them done. Pisses me off every time I clean it the wheels are just looking tired and bubbly now! 👎
I’ve loved following your journey with this car so far mate! If I’d have bought it then I’d have done all the same things! It just looks perfect now - so much better now than it did when you got it with all the nasty black grilles, stripes and wheels... so fresh in comparison now. Was lovely to see it and admire it at fordfair. Out of interest, has the previous owner ever contacted you since you’ve had it? Just wondered with it being ‘out there’ on the ‘net whether you”d had the ‘that was mine’ and ‘you’ve undone all my work’ mails lol
Hi Gaz, thanks for the comment! With regards to the previous owner - his son actually works at the same place as my wife, and he follows the car on Instagram. His Dad (the previous owner) also follows me too, but he hasn’t expressed any opinions on what I’ve done to the car. I think they approve though, I mean, who wouldn’t!? 😁😉
Car looks great id love a mk 2 to go with my mk 3
Would be an awesome pairing 👌🏻
Crackin' ! 💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍🏴
🤙🏻🤙🏻
Beautiful example, had mine for nearly 10 years and is still 99% original including same exhaust system.
Awesome mate! Cars to cherish now 😊🙌🏼
@@CarFocused got to cherish it cos I couldn't afford to buy another now 🙃
Mate if your planning on keeping it then i'd recommend getting it minimum stage 2 paint corrected and PPF the full front end bumper/bonnet/wings/mirrors. Then you got piece of mind and it will look and be so much easier to maintain cleaning wise. I had mine done in the summer its not cheap but worth it as I'm not doing anymore to the car paintwork is the last thing 👍🏼
Hi mate - paintwork and undernside will be next on the list 😃 Need to get the arches done and a few other little bits before paint protection. It is well worth it though I agree!
@@CarFocused I got my bumper resprayed as the stone chips were bad everything else is 99% near mint 👍🏼 I sprayed the whole underside and arches with this stuff called Lanoguard amazing stuff real easy to apply
Wheel centers lined up with the badges.....it's all about the details!
Always!haha.
@@CarFocused it’s about 3 years since you bought ii isn’t it, a bigger journey than the video suggests, but worth it…..even the more painful parts.
@@keithstapleton7805 it is indeed mate - 3 years Oct. It’s been what owning one of these cars is all about ☺️
9 months on and I still have to admit I miss mine, far from standard, but it's been replaced with my first ever proper M car, and what a difference, but the 5 pot still sounds better and had soul man....
There’s just something about a Mk2 RS….
Absolutely love the RS it is a credit to you would love to own one but the car tax on this car in Ireland is 2350 euros alone
Thank you - and that’s a real shame it’s so much to even tax it over there 😢
What an absolute daylight robbery ..
Hi Garry just wondering did you have any issues with the wheel spacers I have herd that you have to take a few mm off or they don’t fit they foul on the wheels. Thanks
None whatsoever on mine but I’ve heard some cars are different 🙈
Have you got a link for the engine cover you have. The cover that covers the metal part of the engine. Like you said, it oxidises terrible 👍👍

Swapped rear indicator bulbs to get rid of orange tinge??
I haven’t actually, but it’s not something that’s ever bothered me. I’m sure I’ll notice now though after this comment 😂
🙂❤️
Hi , have just my mk 2 RS , picking it up at the end of the month when I move , it will be kept in my garage and stored over the winter unless I get some dry days to take her out , can tell me what trickle charger you have and where I can purchase a decent cover for her ??
Hi mate, take a look at this video;
th-cam.com/video/RvU9l83f4sU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Qhlcp-vunjiNzZLq
Cheers
Thanks for the video , what was the name of the company that your cover came from , very impressed by it ??
@@leestromaine7651 specialised covers 👍🏻
@@CarFocused 👍
You put back standard backbox exhaust?
Yea about 2 years back!
I've looked on dBm graphics I can't see any rs grille badges mate
They were the RS gel inlays - unless they’ve now stopped making them?😢
@@CarFocused maybe so. My RS mk2 has gone to sleep until the mot in may, beautiful cars gotta be said
Performance Ford's all the way !!!
my mk3 st nuts have covers, would of guessed rs nuts the same?
The mk3 RS wheel nuts seem to be more durable and solid than those on the mk2. And they look a lot better too. No signs of the covers coming off on mine 👍🏻
@@CarFocused it's when you take the wheel off and the socket will round the covers off!!, i replaced with solid nuts straight away. Ford covers are a disaster
Always a head turner..rare to see these days..
Complet Link of badge please ?
They don’t make the RS inlays anymore 😥
@@CarFocused ok thanks man
Bit disappointed to hear youre going down the mountune flash map route still. Theres absolutely no requirement for a catback just fyi, all they do is add noise. All the flow comes from upgrading the downpipe or the cat section; even a 2.75" catback would flow enough for 375bhp. Youll needlessly be spending a small fortune on a mountune or collins 6 bar fuel pump too. The FMIC and bigger injectors + remap is all thats really needed, but sure its your money :)
Haha yea I get the point you don’t approve by now 😂 Something I’m going to get done eventually though. Nearly there! Appreciate you’re only trying to help though 👍🏻
Get some new plates? Not a fan of the bordered ones
I’ve got another set of plates to go on from the original dealership where the car came from when it was delivered to its original owner 👍🏻
Can't watch these videos now, HDR kills the contrast and washes out the colours on every video unless you are running a HDR device. I see a lot of TH-camrs doing this and it's a problem for many subs. HDR is for movies mostly and really brings nothing to the table shot and viewed on smart phones. HDR really isn't better in these situations and alienates a lot of viewers.
Sorry mate I film with my iPhone and that’s just how it uploads it 🤷🏼♂️
@@CarFocused yeah you must have HDR enabled on your phone settings or in TH-cam. Honestly recording on a phone in those settings makes no difference. I wish I could show you what it looks like. It's like the brightness is on 100%, if I watch on my TV it's fine because it has HDR but I best most people don't have a HDR enabled device and TH-cam forces you to watch it in HDR if it's uploaded/recorded in that format.
@@apexracing741 what phone are you watching on?
THE Rs500 what a car In Matt black 345bhp standard
Dream car for me!
