The Focus RS body has been reinforced in several places
to accommodate the powertrain changes. The spare
wheel well has been sacrificed to cater for the sports
exhaust and the AWD (all-wheel drive) system.
Certain bolts which extrude from the engine
compartment bulkhead had to be shortened so they
would not foul with the TC (turbocharger).
