The link doesn't work, it comes up with:
http://fiesta%20rs/ (if you click it)

but if you copy all the text and then paste it into your browser it will work.

however, the RS bumper is
1) not out yet
2) still in prototype...knowing ford they may never release but there is actually a good chance of releasing this one (if that makes any sense)
3) IT WON'T FIT without serious body work...the bumber is designed to fit wide wheel arches...so if you put it straight on your Fiesta, you would have a massive overhang on each end!
4) The ST 150 will be coming out with a similar front, but again i think the arches on that are too wide, so may not fit standard model.

However, again...i recently have had this idea of cutting into my bumper on a standard model with the SWA kit....it looks like this....

Sorry to Simhopper if he ever sees this but I hope he doesn't mind!
Sorry about the quality as well i did it like in 5mins on old software i hadn't used for ages...so it needs so serious blending to be done. but it gives you an idea of what i'm going to do...cut up the bumber about 5/6 in above lower grille and get a chrome plate holder for the number plate, as i already have a chrome surround grille...soon to be meshed. This should only really be done with the SWA kit...as i think it will look crap with everything else!
PS...i wanted to be the first to get this done but i won't be doing till my exams are over (6 weeks).

That's a better photo...but you'll still need an arch kit! lol if you really wanted to, you could buy the official bodywork from Ford but we're NOT talking hundreds here!

Although, still prefer my idea of cutting into standard bumper with SWA kit and then use ST mesh...similar style but cheaper cost and more unique!
