Not a cool colour. They come in this cool dark purple - Looks alright?
Though, get a V50 - Those sedans have the world's smallest boot....

Re: Do you like this car colour?
I've just had a look at one forum and I'm utterly shocked. I've only looked at about 2-3 weeks of posts and already seen a load stolen, people's houses broken into for the keys, and someone mugged on his own driveway for the carWelton wrote:On the subject of Focus STs my friend looked up about them on the ST forum and they are a massive target for aggrevated theft at the momentsince Nov 2008 there were 4 cars on the forum which had been stolen by forcibly taking the keys from the house at night




Having read that I would NOT want the liability of having one of those things unless it was completely de-badged with standard alloys, rusty exhaust tip, etc
They also seem to be a right target for vandalism
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Yes it is really bad, I never knew it was going on either.
I don't know whether it's scally's taking them to rag around for a it or wheher they're being boxed up and shipped abroad?
One guy on the Forum was reporting the value of ST's to be dropping by £400.00 a month recently
Good job my 406 Diesel is safe - hell I'd have to leave the engine running with a big pointy sign saying "TAKE ME" on it
