threw a bucket of water over the car this weekend after taking the chav chequers off the car. also used meguairs paint cleaner, autoglym SRP, collinite 476s and autoglym EGP as the paintwork was looking dull and had loads of swirl marks on.
think it looks so much better and cleaner without the chequers on

Prefered it with chequers.
Not sure how you came to the conclusion they were chav? I think they suited the car perfectly.

chav attention mostly  could be to do with the car colour though 
i think they look good on yours but on mine they looked a bit cluttered because of the side stripes aswell. blukoo said about it before and i thought about it and he was right.
i'm just getting old i think

i'm not after a fiesta, it's just the only small car that i like in the ford range right now. shames theres no fiesta st version, yet, otherwise i'd have that
would love to keep the focus but need to save money and just by dowgrading the car i will save £350 a month at least on insurance, finance and petrol so it's worth it.

it's not been remapped take it out at the meet at the weekend and you'll see it only holds 0.6 bar of boost which is standard
blueflames and milteks have the backbox still on them so the noise is reduced quite a lot. won't be an expensive thing, just something to last a few months.
colin, cant get an rs with employee discount unfortunately would love one though.
