“It looked stock, but the sound told a different story,” he recalls. “The first drive was exhilarating—I knew this was my next project.”
Personalising the Beast
Amrish wasted no time in making the MK3.5 his own. His Focus now features an array of custom modifications, blending aesthetics with performance.
