It's been mated with an RS Focus hasn't it? It's certainly inherited the paint job!  :D

Apparently so... interesting and each to their own but I other then the posing value you have to ask why? lol

Oh and Greg, its a Galaxy with the S-max grills.

But surely the S-Max has a more 'squat' rear end than that? The roofline and rear screen/ quarter windows look like a Galaxy to me, the S-Max drops away more to the rear.

I vote Galaxy, just because the back end looks like it to me.

Yeah, it's kind of a 'Ford never made an RS Galaxy, but if they did it'd be something like this!'

No - I saw the vents but as I understand it they are just blanks on the S-Max and don't actually do anything other then be stylish?

But you are right, its a s-max front end. Theoretically strait forward bolt on job as its all the same platform.

each to there own paul m8,if i had the dosh for something like that then no doubt i would do the same.
wouldve kept my lexus is200 as a weekend type of car.if i couldve afford to keep 2 on the road.

mark your probably correct m8 just there to look snazzy.

so do you reckon the wings and bonnet are a straight swap then without modifications?

Well with the bumper, grill and headlights yes - it looks like it would be a bolt up job :)
