My first thought was, "Who in Their right mind would sell such a beauty?!?!?"

Then I saw the Monster. Well done!

Its flocked. Flocking is a coating of nylon fibres applied using electrostatics. They are added for anti glare purposes.

**thefrush** · 08-27-2009, 03:02 PM

That'll do nicely.

**method213** · 08-27-2009, 03:22 PM

Wow, Nice!

**syntheticGT** · 08-27-2009, 04:00 PM

I came in here to yell at you for selling the RS.

Now I am sad. SO MUCH WANT!!!!

O I C

I've never seen that before. interesting.

W8 · 08-27-2009, 04:14 PM

Seen plenty of flocked dashes on WRC cars. Does this one have a racing pedigree?

No.

A RWD 4cylinder turbo focus with an aluminum fuel tank has no racing pedigree. Ever.

**20focus03** · 08-27-2009, 04:30 PM

Well that's just flocking great!!!!

Sorry I had to...I'm surprised nobody else did it first.

COCHYN, Sweet ride man. You can't compete with the RS interior...but the rare/one-of-a-kind factor of the Cossie cancels that out.

**COCHYN** · 08-27-2009, 04:53 PM

Focus RS interior is pure sh*t compared to this IMO, flocked dash like you get in a rally car is just a b*tch to clean...but looks uber!

Will update this thread as much as possible, loads of updates coming. Just spent a bit of cash on the usual engine bits, will see what happens

**Ataru** · 08-27-2009, 05:04 PM

I too was wondering why you would get rid of the RS after what happened to your previous Focus. Then to see the replacement, it all made sense.

Any plans for more mods in the future?

**COCHYN** · 08-27-2009, 05:24 PM

Probably upgrade to one of Harvey Gibbs 500bhp engine's, but I'm adament on not fitting the RS arches on this. I love the look of it as it is, but need to refurbish the exterior. Few dents and scratches here and there. Looking forward to the coming months of heartache and bloody knuckles!

**ViperThreat** · 08-27-2009, 05:52 PM

I saw the word "sold" next to a bunch of pictures next to a RS, and nearly cried.

.. Then i saw the replacement..

...Freakin sweet.

**pzev04boy** · 08-27-2009, 06:23 PM

That dash board looks flocked up!!!
