dont worry, was just regarding the Ultra Green colour. I know of occasions where customers were refusing to take collection of there new RS Focus in the UG because the colour difference the body and bumpers were so bad. The dealer local to me was even offering to have the bumpers repainted! on a brand new car! But even then, they cant gaurantee it will look any better.

You couldn't of picked a better upgrade, you have the best colour as well out of the options available the White looks the best. This will be my next car. Enjoy it 
I have just bought a Clio 200 Cup as my daily driver. My other car is a Mk2 Focus RS. The Clio is actually a better car in some respects. It handles better out the box. It has about the same consumption. Lots of touches on the Clio are better, like the sliding Recaro's, Autolocking, four pot calipers, it's lighter and more chuckable, it's more fun on back roads.
Fit the Mountune upgrade to the Focus RS and sort the suspension and the brakes and the Focus is in another class, the speeds you can get to are stupid.
Which do I like most?
Neither the Clio does what it does, gives me a rewarding drive to work on B roads and a smile every day at legal speeds.
The Focus blows my brain and makes the adrenalin pump so fast, but to get that feeling you are going straight to jail if you get caught, so it's best place is on the drive or on track.
Just MY opinion

i agree the clio is a great package out of the box, obviously the focus is better specd but thats because i bought a cup and am now enjoying keyless, dab, etc
The cup suspension is also a little crashy compared to the focus which does seem to handle imperfections in the road better without being too soft. id say on a track the clio is setup better but on the road the focus is, on the back roads more fun can be had in the clio but the focus may cover the ground more quickly? if i were to drive both i would be quicker in the clio just because how well it handles and the focus is a handfull.
Thats only my opinion and i dont think is bias? ha i loved my clio and will have one again when i need to buy a house or need the funds, they are a fantastic car and as you say for the costs, they offer a very rewarding pleasent drive
