That's most probably a grey import given how easy it is to import cars into NZ from overseas. Probably an expat Pom. That's definitely Blue Flame, which was available in the UK as an ST colour. Looks like they just fitted the local bodykit when it arrived in NZ.
ST170 was available exclusively in Imperial Blue, a slightly more purple colour than the only colour of the Focus RS, Ford Racing Blue.
Grilles were painted on all Aust/NZ delivered ST's and I assume thus all Euro models. If in doubt, just query the VIN with Ford NZ.
