Cheers guys, we are very pleased with the way it's come out.
Not expecting anymore than 22 to the gallon Tiny
The company that did the graphic's (Wolf) also do them for teh Fezza too 
Yes the wheels are in fact standard fit which is kinda cool, they are probably gonna be painted anthracite to match the graphic's. Probably.
Cheers guys

Bleeding things are everywhere lol.
So glad you got white mate, they look the best in white. Supprisingly i quite like the graphics, nice clean contrast to the car and set it off well
Wheels will look fantastic painted black/anthracite.. been trying to get my mates to do it at work but they all fanny about too much and change their cars too often. lol
Best of luck with it mate, on the roll you'll have some much more supposedly faster stuff worried for sure. Awesome chassis too, pony fuel economy but then it is a lardy volvo lump.

I did warn the wife about the MPG 
filled up for the first time this aft (£55)and the computer reckoned we'll get 350 to the tank haha. Be happy with 250 - 275, but we shall see.
Not a good pic and wrong colour but you get the idea. Actually saw this car there yesterday as it's the owners wife's and look superb in the flesh.
Frayz, just had to be white, just like my old RS Turbo and my Van lol

Well Dave after 2 Months of ownership how's it going then mate ?
Mrs ESC & I Love our ickle Fessie ST , But im sooooo tempted to now look @ the Focus ST
The Fessie is a little juicy & The chunky 17" Alloys seem to follow any little rut in the road , It certainly keeps you focused whilst giving it a few beans around our local twisty , Uneven roads , But saying that i seem to enjoy driving the fessie more than i do my scoob
Love to hear your thoughts / Comparisons

I'll take yo out for a spin Tiny if you fancy it. Just clocked 1000 miles so been giving it a bit more welly I actually removed the remap for running in and not re-installed it as yet, thought it would be nice to use and get used it first then see how much difference the 60HP actually makes.
Comparison wise, I find the ST more nimble, partly due to the less weight (not huge difference) and the lowering springs on the ST. You can chuck it around more. Not as much grip of course but more seems more direct. Only ever driven a standard ST for about 15 mins and suspension on my 05 STi was standard so not really comparing like to like though.
Fuel consumption is poor at best, 200 miles ish to £50 Tesco 99. But that is very short cold start journeys...No worse than the Scoob though (170 was the worst we had out of that)
Overall very impressed, can't tell ya whether I prefer it over the Scooby as I just don't drive it that much and they are quite different. Get some decent weather here, stick the remap back on and we'll see how it fairs.
One thing I do miss is the noise, the ST's 5 pot sounds great but it's no match for the flat four with an H&S baseline...
I take it getting a Focus would be replacing the Fiesta not the Scoob lol
