Not the original paint but to me it looks perfect bbs rs & bright orange paint work, wish bmw did some wacky paint jobs like lambo and classic fords did.

That looks just like the car Wayne Gratrex did, he then LS1'd it and covered in Jagermeister decals.

You couldn't be more wrong :wink:

Tangerine Scream is the new Focus ST's special colour which is more yellow.

The Focus RS only came in Blue, White and Green (Matt black for the RS500).

And the Focus ST Orange you are talking about was called "Electric Orange". I would know as I paid the £750 premium to have my car in this colour.

I stand corrected. I just happened to see a Tangerine Scream Focus ST in the Ford showroom the other day, when I collected some paint, and it looked orangey in there. :wink:

You could only pull that colour off with a minty, high spec motor. Would look local authority housing estate on anything more poverty or with any sign of tiredness.
