Their presence on this Mk2 Focus is all part of a fusion of retro styles and attitudes that takes the turn-of-the-millennium ethos and reframes it for the mid-2020s. If there was one cultural snapshot that influenced the tuning scene of the 2000s more than any other, it was . That movie came out in 2001, and immediately captured the hearts of a modding generation. Yes, it was largely absurd in quite a lot of its details (who has time to check a laptop that’s flashing ‘DANGER TO MANIFOLD’ while they’re street-racing? Why would your passenger floor fall out just because you’re driving really fast? Why didn’t that Jetta have any front calipers? How does that guy at the party keep ham-fistedly strumming his guitar without anyone tearing it out of his hands and smacking him with it?), but its influence was clear: suddenly all the cool kids wanted Skylines, S2000s, RX-7s, and anything else Japanese that they could get their hands on. Cue a rush to slather everything in fulllength Manga graphics – yes, even Vectras and Mondeos. Carsmajesty of it all.
