Re: Cost of Focus RS Conversion?

SVT2RS said:
...Those brackets correspond to the prongs on the RS front bumper, and the brackets are only available on Euro slam panels to my knowledge. They are made of plastic, and are not separate from the panel itself. I've thought about fabricating some, but for a bit of cash, I can hopefully just get a Euro one (plus having a second one buys me some time to fill and smooth the new one as well, like o2_designs and Spatakula).

When developers said the Focus RS is 70% different parts from the standard focus, they meant 90% when compared to the American models, :lol:

Gentlemen, the Euro slam panel is NOT a requirement. I've been driving the car for 5 years without it, and the bumper is still in no danger of falling off. But as WRC stated, it's all in the details, and I was looking to get a new panel to clean up for show anyway.

Saph vents are the ONLY way to go!!!

Stock on the Cossie and new RS, I rest my case.

I got my RS wing in yesterday with the brake lights and backing plate but no hardware?

the bolts from the Spark plug wire cover, are the same thread and not too long so i might just use those but im not sure how it is going to work

The slam panel as you call it is same on all 98-05 MK1, the RS added the reinforcements at the outer edges, for the extra width, for all Euro bumps are no different across the front edge by the grill. Bad news the link that has it for 50GBP said they don't ship here, despite that their page said WORLDWIDE.

Got another request out there for the parts, their price on the rear reinforcement, that supports the foam, is 35.95GBP, waiting on a parts list quote.

Well that's not a fair trade. Women get fat and look worse. RS bodypanels stay fat and look hot. :D

I think I'm going to pass on the TDRs... my aim was originality and I just wouldn't be happy if someone else had the same setup as me. ;)
