Official road car picture time boys and girls. Looks the same as the show car to me, except it's blue. 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Fake vents   
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
Does every performance car in the world need those seats?

I'm not 100% sure on it now, something doesn't seem quite right

Why don't I like that as much? Might be because it's not the Green. Blue is very very plain.

Also are these the only seats that recaro make or something???

Not sure, I don't think it's the colour, I think it's the fact that you can see all the little details, there's too much going on. The vents looks crap, the mirrors are horrible, the exhaust tips look like they've come from a 90s Halfords clearout, the airbox to turbo inlet pipe looks a mess, it's just not very neat and there's too muny conflicting details I think, too fussy. 
 
And it sits too high.

That looks different to me   
 
Its went from looking like an aggressive new design to a Focus with tat stuck on.

It's more contrasting with the green. Blue looks shite.

Agree with Robin to an extent. 
 
Vents and other details all look a bit plastic, cheap and nasty. Rear diffuser and exhausts look nasty too. 
 
And whats with the random dude in a suit?

It's also lower in the green pics, and the exhaust is different, and has no Focus badge. 
 
Speaking of badges, that looks shit too, one bottom left, one top right, great idea.... 
 
Maybe a white one will change my mind, again.

I love it   
 
Has to be White or Green though!! 
 
I think White with some different wheels & lowered  bit would look top

The guy in the suit is Jost Capito, the bloke who's overseen the whole project.

I think those wheels are shite. To plain for such an aggressive looking car.

those new pics of it blue, it looks utter utter wank! kit reminds me of some dodgy MCR number, it sits too high aswell. Seats look very out of place in it too. loved the original cpics but that looks gay.
