Default focus RS

I never knew the RS500 was Vynl Wrap. Seems expensive for 350 BHP and Vynl

Taking into mind you could in theory get a normal have it wrapped and have the 400r upgrade

But i presume thats the only way to do Matt ?

How much is a normal Wrap ?

Nope it's wrap, according to the Polished Bliss detail write-up they did on one.

Does seem expensive, but is it as bad as putting on bigger brakes, tweaked suspension, a forged internals engine and a Cosworth badge and charging £20k more?

Ford will offer only one colour – a striking matt black foil finish, specially developed for the car by American technology firm 3M. The foil is applied by hand after each model rolls off the line at Ford’s plant in Saarlouis, Germany. A unique blue and red badge is also added to the tailgate.
