MonkeyWrench bespoke headlights and a
set of black RS badges on the front wings
and tailgate.
Tucked up in those big arches are a set
of Fifteen52 Tarmac wheels, which really
suit this blue Mk2. Powder-coated Shadow
gold, the five-spoke, motorsport-inspired
rims also complement the gold bits in the
engine bay as well as a neat gold towing eye
peeping out of the front bumper.
Behind those shiny rims you’ll see a set
of Brembo brakes. The Gran Turismo kit
features fully floating 365mm discs and
track pads with braided lines, which gives
Luke the confidence to know that it will
scrub off speed with alacrity, every time.
The Mk2 Focus RS interior is a pretty nice
place to be as standard, but it isn’t the most
exciting, so Luke has focused on adding a
few extras, including a tactile OMP steering
wheel with snap-off boss. A smattering of
Alcantara has been added too, with the
bespoke armrest, gear gaiter and handbrake
all covered in the soft-touch fabric.
“Future plans include some interior
trimming (as the ford stuff is renowned for
being a bit bland), a full roll cage, engine
dress up pieces, a whole load of underside
restoration work, custom rear lights and
mirror indicators, possibly a roof colour
change and there’s a change of wheels
soon happening. A full suspension setup
is required and I then intend to get out on
track and ring its neck some more,” says
Luke. That may sound a brave move for a
car that’s in such an immaculate condition,
but then it was built to be enjoyed and with
a hefty 670bhp on tap, it’s going to be a fun
ride.Brembo big
