It's got a couple of things going for it:
Euro
Quality product
No longer made
Rare find
It's price with shipping from overseas I feel is reasonable, without Knowing what the grill goes/went for when in production I can say that airmail costs would be around 50-60 bucks from europe. I can say this because I have had a few items quoted in the last couple of weeks that would be of general package size and weight.
The only thing that it has against it is that it is for a Focus...
A lot of Focus owners won't shell out big bucks for parts, even if quality. There are those that will, especially when you factor in the above pluses. I think even at 225 if your intention was to turn a profit on it you could probably sell it for $250 plus shipping to someone in the US but it may take a while. If you are in the position that you can spend the money and hold on to it you may be able to get more as such items become more scarce.
So to answer your question if I owned a MK1 and it was something I was looking for personally or perhaps as an investment if I had the disposable income to do so I would.
