I'm pretty sure the S model is the base model focus. That emblem is not from a Focus.
If you are gonna just imagine a reply. At least do some research first!

The "S" is from a Focus. And is from the Aussie/Asian "Sport" version....

The Sport version has everything the Titanium has except for the park assist. So no. It definately isn't the base model [rolleyes]

In Australia we have the German built MkI Sport Sedan and Hatch. But in the Thai built MkII, we only get a Hatch.. "Which has the "S" badge...

I have a German built MkI Sport Sedan, but they didn't come with an "S" badge.. However I have put one on mine...

This is basically a base car with a 2.0 L GDI engine and 16x7" wheels with the DCT as standard, a far cry from the Ti sedan.

Exactly!! The "S" emblem was ordered from the Asian market. It is the same one that Ford puts on the Titanium looking models. Plus the emblem looks just like the "S" in the "ST" emblem.

Besides I do have a ST spoiler(like the Asian market models) and new headlights so I figure for me it needed a "S" to add to the Titanium. I like to be different then just following the norm [deviltail]. Plus the plans for my car will definitely make it more sporty especially when i get the Zetec "S" body kit.

Good "S"tuff [clap]

Yes in the Thai built MkII. But the Sport sedan (as mine is) was available in the German built MkI...

Ignoring the unique way Australia refers to cars not by actual generation but by two letter codes globally there are three generations of Focus.

Global:
MK1 =1998-2004 (C170 chassis)
MK2= 2004-2011 (C307 chassis)
MK3=2011-2015 so far (C346).

What you have is a 2011 build MK3 built in Saarlouis. The MK3 is built around the world.

Actually I have a MkIII Ford Focus (LW MkI) Sport Sedan [thankyou]

My other car is an FG Ford Falcon XR6 MkI
 
personally i think that if you are putting a badge on a car that was not meant to have that specific badge, you are a poser, but thats just me
So considering in Australia, they only started putting the "S" badge on the newer Thai built LW MkII Sports. Then because I have an older German built LW MkI Sport Sedan. Then even though my car IS a Sport. Then would I be a poser for putting an "S" badge on my Sport?
 
Maybe eliminate the TANIUM and leave the TI and make it less crowded as adding the S looks just that.
Good suggestion [thankyou]. However in a previous post(page 934) shows a pic of a red Focus from the Asian market and Ford puts an S below the Focus emblem. I think I will keep mine below Titanium. I thought of getting a Fusion Titanium badge as it looks a little smaller but I think it's not shiny chrome like the Focus emblem.
 
This is mine. And no one has what I have! Unless they also drive a Sport Sedan..

 
So i might do this to all my other wheels, machined face, it is suuuuper easy. Gonna tape up the lip so i dont mess it up. This was just practice. What do you guys think? Right is machined left is painted

If you manage to pull it off, it'll look pretty cool.

black euro grilles.. Not a huge difference but its a nice touch. Dont have very many pictures of them yet.



And my stance post coilover and fender roll (dunno if I posted here, kinda fell away from forums) commence hate :)

 
There's a guy with a V6 'Stang that has GT badges and even a GT sticker on his windshield and I think he's trying to convince himself he has a GT. The thing with badges are the people that don't know don't care and the ones that know aren't being fooled.
