Go for the focus collection body kit rear bumper is fairly easy to sauce front could be a little bit harder and skirts are like rocking horse poop,, but I think it’s the best looking kit out there,, oh and it’s a genuine ford kit had it all on my ST170 but about 5 years to complete the set hahaha. Could go for the ST roof spoiler or try and hunt down an EGR spoiler they better
Wheels go for the MP3’s or smash on the fiesta ST150 alloys,, you go for the Recaro interior they really worth the money in opinion anyway
Loved my 170 wish I’d kept it,, pic of my tiger stripes and ST150 alloys and collection front bumper

Spent a fortune on it to be fair,, just the dreaded rust set in,,, clutch wasn’t to good neither,, but I miss it like crazy hahaha. Things I’d where new IMRC, body kit, egr spoiler, tiger stripes, scorpion cat back exhaust, factory sub and amp in boot, 9006 stereo, RS steering wheel, ST150 alloys, HEL braided lines plus all the usual things uprated to Mondeo callipers,, all fluids changed etc
Not a great pic of the rear bumper though but best looking rear bumper,, oh and go online and checkout DMB Graphics for the GEL ford badges,, Dave will sort you out and decal or even design some for you he did my SVT Focus sticker you can see on the boot

Wow absolutely brilliant I can see why you miss it , I'm looking at interior first then exterior is the red a vinyle wrap or paint

Sorry mate not been on for a while. But yeah that’s just paint race red I think,, just have to make sure you scotch pad all the plastic to get off some sort of coating that’s on there or your paint will react (bubbles) just plastic primer then several coats of whatever colour you decide,,,
