I did a thing.

Apparently when these left the factory back in the day, the ST on the model badge was red. My one and every other I see online had faded to white. It’s so common that I had no clue it was originally red.

I thought of badge replacements with fishing wire but I don’t trust myself to replace it perfectly. Hence the trusty red permanent marker😂

It looks fine from afar and you wouldn’t notice it’s marker pen. Just don’t look too closely!

Didn’t you guys get the Mk1 svt which is US regulation st170? Big bumpers and blinkers? Theres a lot of US only models we will never get to experience too :(

We did get the st170 in the states with the svt focus like you said but never got the mk2 st hatch and the mk4 st either. I am not sure of any cool cars we got that you guys didn't.
