610bhp+ Frozen White Ford Focus RS Show Preparation Detail



Hi guys, it seems to have been a while since I posted anything here, but I thought some may appreciate this one..

Around 6 months ago I viewed a very special Ford Focus RS, with the hope for it to be ready for yesterday's Ford Fair show. The main reason for such a far out aim was because something seemed to be missing in the engine bay... This was away being rebuilt and will be getting a completely custom head, with the intention to become the fastest Focus RS in the country with nearer to 800bhp as the aim!

I will get hold of the spec when I get a chance, but onto the detail!

The aim for this one was to have the best tidy up and give it some show gloss, regardless of durability, before the car comes in for a full correction detail very soon.

A few before shots, and onto the wheels.

The car was then snow foamed with AMDetails Snow Foam to remove the majority of dirt before contact.

Washed using the usual two-bucket method, followed by decontamination with AM Iron, Auto Finesse Oblitarate and a clay mitt.

The car had been sat in a compound for around 5 months prior so had picked up a fair amount of iron filings and general fallout.

After drying off, attention was paid towards the engine bay, polishing up the chrome and under-bonnet mirrors, carbon fibre panels and cleaning hoses.

A few before's with afters at the end.

Spotted something I've never seen in an engine bay before...

Wheels and calipers received a coating of Swissvax Autobahn.

Trims were dressed with AF Revive.

Nice work. As for the car I much prefer the oem look. I hate to think what he's spent making the ultimate quick chav mobile. Easily sorted though.

Minus the blue lights I really like that. Bet it shifts aswell! Looks fairly standard from the outside considering the power.

Good work :)

A lot of money spent and he's gone for K Sport brakes...Seems an odd choice!
 
I'm sure they're fine, but they're not the dollar brakes you would expect on an uber build. They certainly don't project a 'money no object' project.

It's like opening the doors to the late 90's. Cracking car and seats but that steering wheel gauges and light combo is shocking.

It all looks a bit like a chav's wet dream, but it does look rather purposeful, I'll give him that.

Not sure if I like that interior or not. White leather and blue lighting reminds me of a dodgy mid-90s club.
