Took my car in for the stereo to be replaced today and they had a ST500 in the showroom so had a bit of a nosy. Looks very nice indeed, the black wheels really set it off. Not too keen on the bonnet sticker/stripe though, and the way the side stripes say Ford rather than ST. But this is just my opinion, and the car still looks the business anyway. Interior looks very nice. Think if you have a black ST you have to have the full leather, which this does :-) Also, love all the little carbon effect decals, like the ones around the stereo and air vents. Not OTT or tacky in the slightest. Would like to get em for my car, but I'm guessing it'd cost a few hundred quid :-/ Looks so much better with the leather gaiter for the gear stick. Why oh why the standard ST has that horrible rubber thing I've no idea. For the sake of £10 I've no idea why Ford decided to choose the rubber one.

All in all the ST500 is a very smart car. Is it worth the the extra cash over a standard ST, 15k compared to £12k for a standard ST with full leather (this is what I was offered last month)? Depends how much the exclusivity means to you. For me it's not worth it, you could buy a new ST with full leather, have the stripes put on, plus the carbon decals, plus have the wheels painted if you wanted and still walk away with a couple of grand in your pocket. It just wouldn't say ST500 on it.

Driving back into Brentwood the other day and saw an ST500. The bonnet stripe is quite striking actually but as we were both on the move I didnt get a very close look but it just looked like a black ST with black wheels and funky bonnet stripes ;.gif

i really like the look of the new ST 500's. But still think they should have went down the focus line of things and gave it the red leather interior, so that it is completley different from the standard st.gif 's but still they are very nice cars.

But like all Fez ST's the first thing that has to be done is purchase a set of Eibach springs and get her lower to the ground D.gif

i think if the 185 upgrade kit, and the new racing seats where as standard to the ST500 they would have flown off the line!
