What sort of price are you paying for that out of interest?

Whenever I've enquired its eye watering levels of expensive for stuff that only a few years ago I swear was a few hundred.

The roof wrap is £400, but they are also very slightly smoke tinting the rear lights in that price.

For the full detail, PPF and ceramic coating, I'm paying £1900



Removing the "orange peel" was never cheap afaik. You need to sand down the entire surface by hand which takes ages.


He has quoted 5 to 6 working days, for the full detail and fitting the PPF and ceramic coating etc, but if it takes longer the price paid does not change, he just takes as long as necessary to get the job done perfectly, My mates AMG GTR took nearly ten days but was pretty much similar price to what I will be paying.



Noice! I really want one of these but in the shouty yellow colour. No idea what it's called but love it!

It is called Triple Yellow, but I am sorry it is a discontinued colour on brand new Mustangs, you would have to look around for a second hand one to get that colour now. :(

You sprayed/replaced the front emblem. :cool:

Replaced it, along with swapping out the wing 5.0 emblems to gloss black, and replacing the rear decklid and emblem.
The roof has also been wrapped gloss black.
Not that you can see in those pics but I have fitted Ford Performance gas struts to the bonnet as well, and a Ford Performance tower brace.

Next is lowering it 20mm on GT350 springs, fitting wheel spacers, replacing the chrome wheel bolts with black, and spraying the chrome pony on the wheel centres.

If only it wasn't a ford. Can't say I ever managed to find a professional/reliable garage with my wifes car.

Simple answer, apart from where I collected it from, it will never see inside a Ford garage in its life again.

Just the outside of them as I drive past to a reliable friendly skilled Independent specialist

How did you swap the front emblem? On the wife's I removed the the top cover, air filter and moved the radiator back but still couldn't get enough space to obtain access to the back. Reluctant to remove the whole front end I just ended up spraying it.

Very very carefully prised it off from the front, the little plastic tags and clips holding it in place are not extremely strong so you can just ping them off.

The new emblem comes with 3M tape to hold it in place so does not need the clips fitted behind.

Sounds better... :)

I take it these don't have keyless start either or can you turn that off as well?


New Mustangs do have keyless entry and start, and no you cannot turn the system off on a Mustang, however you can on a lot of other manufacturers systems.

Personally i have a faraday pouch and a faraday tin at home well away from the car.
