Protect | Modify | Retrofit – Our Bespoke In-House Services:
When purchasing a vehicle from Automotive Addiction, we offer a range of bespoke in-house services designed to protect, modify, and retrofit genuine OEM equipment to your new vehicle prior to delivery.

Paint Protection

Paint Protection Film (PPF): As a Suntek Approved PPF Installer, we offer premium paint protection film solutions designed to preserve your vehicle’s paintwork against stone chips, road debris, scratches, and everyday wear. Using plotter-cut, vehicle-specific patterns, PPF is applied with exceptional accuracy for a seamless, factory-quality finish. The film features self-healing properties, allowing light scratches and swirl marks to disappear with heat, helping to maintain a flawless appearance over time. Coverage options range from high-impact areas to full-vehicle protection, ensuring long-term preservation without compromising appearance.

Ceramic Coating Paint Protection: We are a CarPro Approved Installer and also offer Gtechniq ceramic coatings, providing durable, high-performance paint protection with a deep, gloss finish. Ceramic coatings help protect against UV exposure, environmental contaminants, and chemical staining, while significantly reducing maintenance requirements and keeping your vehicle looking its best for longer.

Security Protection

Thatcham & TASSA Approved Security System: We supply and install Global Telemetrics Thatcham-approved tracking systems, including S5+, S5, and S7 options, with immobilisation available where applicable. These insurer-recognised systems provide advanced theft protection and real-time vehicle monitoring. We also offer the TASSA-approved Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser 2, a discreet, keyless security solution. Both options are professionally installed in-house, offering enhanced security and complete peace of mind.

Retrofit (Factory OEM)

Have you found a vehicle you love, but it’s missing a factory option you would really like? No problem — we’ve got you covered.

Our Factory Retrofit Service allows genuine manufacturer options that were available from new, but not originally specified, to be professionally retrofitted prior to sale. Popular retrofit options include Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, reversing cameras, heated seats, folding mirrors, and tyre pressure monitoring systems, among others (model dependent). All work is completed in-house using genuine OEM manufacturer parts and correct coding, ensuring a seamless, factory-correct finish — as if the vehicle left the factory with the option installed.

Modify

Our in-house modification services range from subtle factory-style OEM+ enhancements to full bespoke builds. With extensive experience, we deliver projects of any scale, tailored entirely to your vision.

Cosmetic Modifications: This can be as understated or as bold as you choose. Options include badge colour changes, brake caliper colour refinishing, complete wheel design upgrades, and the supply and installation of bodykits, including carbon-fibre kits, plus much more. Every visual modification is completed with close attention to detail, whether the aim is subtle personalisation or a more aggressive aesthetic.

Performance Modifications: This can range from subtle enhancements to comprehensive performance builds. Options include professional ECU and TCU calibrations, engine and transmission upgrades, suspension enhancements such as coilover systems, and selected chassis improvements, all specified to suit the vehicle and its intended use. Whether the aim is increased performance, improved drivability, or sharper handling, each modification is carefully planned and executed to deliver the desired results while maintaining reliability and everyday usability.

Model Overview:

This limited-edition 1 of 300 Red-Edition MK3 Focus RS finished in exclusive Race-Red features a host of upgrades from factory compared to the regular Focus RS. Most notably a Quaife Mechanical Limited-Slip Front Differential which makes its chassis feel more focused with considerably more front axle grip out of slow speed corners. Externally, a factory painted Gloss Black Roof, Rear Spoiler and Mirror caps complement its Race-Red Paintwork.

Inside, a bespoke Carbon-Fibre Interior Package which includes Door Grab Handles, Handbrake Lever & Binnacle Gauges. As standard you get the must-have Recaro Shell Buckets Seats, Luxury Package, Heated Steering Wheel & SYNC-3 Navigation System.

Genuine Investment Opportunity: the standard Mk3 Focus RS has been appreciating in value steadily recently, with this being a ‘limited-production-run’ model with exclusive edition-only options it will undoubtedly be the most desirable MK3 RS just behind the 1 of 50 Heritage Edition. Ford have confirmed that they will not be producing a MK4 Focus RS, making this this the ‘last ever Focus RS generation’ which further strengths the pedigree of the MK3 RS. Limited-Run Fast Fords over the past 50 years have become highly collectable.

Leaving the factory with near every single conceivable optional extra (£1,600 above and beyond Red-Edition Spec), the must-have 19inch Forged Alloy Wheels (£975) wrapped in meaty Michelin Super Sport Tyres, and finally the Door Edge Protectors (£85). The only non-factory enhancement being the perfectly matched Race-Red Brake Calipers which completes the exterior.

Amazingly, this 6 year-old Red-Edition has completed 17,660 miles with. This is a rare opportunity to pick up a limited edition Focus RS, loaded with tons of factory optional extras, Servicing has been completed religiously at Ford Specialist around April every year to ensure 1 Year intervals from its first registration. This example is for the perfectionists amongst us.

Presented in absolutely perfect as-new condition; we guarantee you wont find a better Red-Edition RS without looking at examples on delivery miles in our professional opinion. This is in true investment piece condition, an RS that has never had any Non-Factory Paintwork with consistent Micron readings of Paint Thickness on every Body Panel. Buy in Confidence from Reputable Pedantic Professional Detailers & Genuine Enthusiasts. We have no doubt this is one of the FINEST Red-Editions available in the U.K.

Boasting All-Wheel-Drive with clever Torque Vectoring, an array of Dynamic Vehicle Settings, Adjustable Suspension, Manual ONLY Gearbox & 4-Piston Brembo Front Brakes resulting in an engaging & driver focused experience compared to its market rivals.

The lustre of its Race Red Paintwork has been amplified after our 60-Hour Detailing Process which includes a Multi-Stage Machine Paintwork Correction to all areas in our own exclusive detailing studio; we photograph our cars under 3,000 Watt of LED Light to showcase the quality of our Vehicle Preparation which is truly Market Leading. Please watch our preparation video on this vehicle.
