Was it this one... I dunno who' it is but I nabbed this picture I think from FFSTOC website or possibly from www.focusst.net/Gallery.htm. Looks incredible :D

You can use the configurator on fords website to build it with the stripes and get a 3d view. :)

I think it needs to be photoshopped properly cos everytime i look at my attempt i laugh, they look a bit too shiney in this pic, i think the ST needs 19's though.

Im absolutely crud at editing pictures, but this is my best attempt using paint lol. I noticed that the concept 2007 typr r looks like its gonna have the same fitment 5 stud alloys that the new ST has and wondered what they'd look like as a replacement to the standard ones. Anyways here my attempt, I think they look awesome. Thanks to whoever I've nabbed this pic from, nice car.

I like the rear bumper......and thats it :!:

Just went on the Ford configurator site and came up with this: Not sure if I'm keen tbh, wonder if it'll have different alloys. Think it might be one for the collectors maybe.

Do I get a prize? :lol: Wish my Sea Grey Ghia 1.6 was a Sea Grey ST Probably get better fuel consumption than I am as well 25mpg :shock: :cry:

Its the Severn Bridge int it?

Don't think mine does, i took a look last week and couldnt see anything. Funny how the same model can have such differences in spec, makes them unique I guess :o

You're not missing much mate, I wouldn't call 2 LED's a major feature of a car, just another gimmick for Ford to blag about. You pleased with the car? I think its awesome, keep finding little features like walk-me-home lights, auto wipers, auto lights etc. Its an automatic 1.6 and a bit slugish on the power side but thats ok as I have the TDCI sport for that requirement.

The surround is light grey, very odd. I'm not complaining mind :D Haven't yet managed to see its full effect at night, but at dusk it did have a glow around the gear stick. Nothing to write home about tho. Shame they didn't stick some of those 18" alloys on by accident :mrgreen:

Took delivery of a 1.6 auto Ghia today, very impressed with everything, its in Magnum Grey and no colour mismatch which is a bonus. One thing though, it seems it has submarine lighting, by this I mean that the courtesy light unit has the usual Ghia 3 lights but near the windscreen there are 2 holes with LED's in them which are shining down and illuminating the gear stick red. As I understand it this is submarine lighting, but I thought this was only standard on the new ST's. Can anyone tell me if this is submarine or just standard lighting. The car was built about 3 weeks ago so could it

Would it be called the S.T.D :wink:

Found out the other day that Henry Ford never actually said: 'You can have any color so long as its black' Apparently they weren't even available in black when the Model T was first released. :|

Anyone any good with photoshop fancy turning the ST green or purple? :smilecolros:

Noticed this on Auto Express HERE In particular: Is this true, does anyone have any more info? I reckon Lime Green would look awesome HERE 8)

Great report, not a bad thing said about the car. Think the wheels really suit the car now, wasn't too sure b4 but they fit perfectly and really compliment the design. If/when I get one I hope I have the guts to thrash it round a track or two like that. Did you see how well it handled even in the wet. You can take the car out of Essex.... :lol:

I agree, I think the electric orange will go down the same path as the Peugeot 206 did when they brought it out in that Aegean Blue colour, then again you cant fault ford for breaking the mould for once. I for one would have either Colorado Red (if it looks as good as it does in the photos) or as a safe option Panther Black, but I wanna get away from black and silver cars.

Oh I see :shock: well I'm not sure she planned on waiting that long, the rate petrol prices are going coupled with the 19mpg her shogun puts out at the best of times means she's probably gonna change it before then. We discussed it last night and I'm gonna get her insured on my TDCI sport so she can get used to the manual gearbox and then think about buying a manual diesel at some point in the near future. @Ronaldo: thanks for the recommendation I think thats prob the engine she'll go for.

Hi JamesTheCat and thanks for the clarification. I thought that was the case as I was looking at the brochure in front of him pointing to the word 'manual' but he was insisting the 2.0L 6 speed durashift manual was in fact automatic... would have been fun to see my mum test driving it in 1st gear wondering why it was revving so much. The first garage we looked in was a new car showroom and the guy explained what you have just said about it taking a certain 000' miles to break even compared to the price of a petrol engine so we veered away from that idea and now she is looking at picking up a

Hi, I've been to the Ford dealer today with my mum as she's looking to buy a new focus. I've come away feeling very confused by the salesman as what he told us doesn't seem correct and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm or disprove what he said. My mum is looking for an automatic diesel and the salesman said that both the 'durashift 6 speed manual' and the 'durashift cvt' are automatic or semi automatic gear boxes, now I only thought that the CVT gearboxes were automatic on the diesels but this guy was adamant that the 'durashift' meant you had the option of chosing auto or manual.
