Given I don't think the US has the Mk2 Focus yet, I would doubt it is the right intake. But I stand to be corrected

The engine layout is fairly similar between the Bastard 1.5 and the 2. Hopefully the radiator position is the same, if it is then your set with that one.

But if your looking for somewhere local, just look for a Mazda3 cold air intakes, both the 2.0 and 2.3 have the same intake. They have identical engine bays, and you should be able to fit larger pods in focus between the radiator support and the front bar behind the fog lights.

Go custom at an exhaust shop IMO. For 400 landed of the AEM, you can get the piping made up and gold plated for the same price.

JD you can find a fair bit of info on CAI intakes for the XR5 on the euro forums. There is even one thread with heaps of pics with some dude who made his own one up.
