Een auto tunen, wat mag wel en wat mag zeker niet, Owen verkeersagent uit de UK kwam op een mooi idee.
Waarom als team geen dikke auto aanschaffen en deze nog dikker maken dan hij al is? O ja, agent Owen geeft in een van de video’s aan dat de Ford Focus RS Mk3 niet van gemeenschapsgeld is gekocht! Dan hebben we dat maar even duidelijk.
In de eerste video roepen ze jongeren op welke modificaties zij het liefst zien uitgevoerd op de Ford Focus RS, hierop werd massaal gereageerd. Samen met tuner GCM wat staat voor ‘George’s Car Media’, stelden ze een plan samen en voerden de nodige updates aan de Ford Focus RS Mk3 uit.
Alles vastgelegd in een serie van 5 video’s die het bekijken zeker waard zijn.
Wie weet steek je er nog iets van op.

2016 Ford Focus RS Dutch Police (GTA5)
With so many people still questioning the different rules, laws, & regulations we decided to start a “First of its Kind” project in which we purchase a standard yet popular modifiable car to turn into a police car and document the entire process, building it to the point in which the car community would welcome it into shows and use it as an example when they choose to do similar upgrades to their cars.

Also, by doing things right you can avoid being pulled over by the police or getting fines/points.
