ST Replica? Eh?
Has the Focus ST bumpers on it... making it look like an ST, which makes it a replicaIf it had a Focus ST engine, focus ST brakes, focus ST gearbox etc etc, then that would make it a Focus ST replica. What did it start as, a 2.0 ghia, or a 1.6 zetec or somehting?
think he means a st look-a-like...be nice guys!

Fair play mate , ignore the haters
Haters? I never said anything about hating anything.
From my point of view I just don't get the 'look alike' game. I like performance cars, i like the look of _some_ performance cars but I'm more interested in how they drive than how they look, so forgive me for not being interested in putting body modifications on a standard car to make it look like something else but not perform like it, iyswim.
To be honest I'd be more interested in making an ST look like a titanium - I'm considering another focus (my work car is a Focus Diesel, I tried the 1.6 and found it a bit flat after my old honda engined rover, the diesel is fine for motorway munching). I'm put off the ST and RS simply because of the nickability factor.
Or maybe I'm just old and grumpy, you decide.

The colour makes it look better than a real ST IMHO - ace! 
What's the interior like - i take it it's fairly specced up being a titanium? We have them at work for company cars, the 1.8 Sport is quite gutless, so lucky you got a 2.0.
Cheers,
Rob.
Alright Rob... Titaniums get the 1/2 leather seats, carbon effect dash, ac.... its pretty much an ST inside without the Recaro seatsWhat's the interior like - i take it it's fairly specced up being a titanium?

Going by the age of 21 the insurance on an ST is probably a mind eye watering so much easier to go with a smaller engine and make it look like the faster one, cheaper running costs etc etc.
Focus RS will be quite nickable doubt the ST is high on peoples lists due to the amount of them out their.
Good looking car and like the colour alot.
