Default Suspect Zetec...

http://www.eurofordclub.com/gallery/newfocuszetec

I've driven a test model new Focus Zetec and have thoroughly checked the car's nooks and crannies. I noticed the Focus that features in the above URL is missing some Zetec features such as -

- black plastic surrounding the two round head light clusters.
- the front air dam is missing the upper plastic outline that covers the above half of the dam. Also the air dam vents in the Zetec is all black or dark grey not all silver body color.
- although you can't see from the pictures the Zetec also has under body plastic cover that covers the front of the vehicle under the engine bay.
- it's also sits 10mm lower than regular focus.

I reckon its a Focus LX hatch with Zetec rear air diffuser and Zetec 17inch alloys. So it's either a pretend Zetec or the owner got stooged by the dealer.

The model shown is a Field Evaluation Unit, not a final production model. Well picked up there, very observant, but it is a Zetec I can assure you. It's about 5 months old I think, one of our test/evaluation units and has been here since before the model launch recently.

Good pickups though... and as Matt said, that is an FEU. These were taken before the new Focus was actually released!

Sorry mate, I could have sworn I added your name when I uploaded them. Can only imagine I was having dialup issue and it was forgotten in the red mist of dialup rage while being disconnected every ten seconds.

Added now.
