NEARLY 2 YEARS WAITING: New Mustang GT PP is finally mine!

Okay, I've been turned. I like the wheels in silver.

To me, that looks epic. Lots of subtle enhancements = win win!

And I wouldn't bother Mr White. The weather is total **** and if you're like me, the roads are covered in **** due to housing developments beside the roads I use. I actually thought I was emulating Paddy Hopkirk the other day because of it! :rolleyes:

Not sure you've got enough photos and angles there Gibbo, might need a few more photos to make up my mind

I like the spoiler. Not showy, looks good.

That's Wayne's place down in middleport. Top bloke, done a few jobs for me over the years. Looking good gibbo.

Love love love love your car Gibbo, great work! Not normally my cup of tea but what a beauty!

Gibbo · 27 Apr 2016 at 20:10

Wow guys thanks for all the kind words.

Mr-White · 27 Apr 2016 at 20:58

I actually like that spoiler, although I can't help but think it needs to be the same colour as the car.

Push AM hard, they will sort you out, when I ordered some parts which turned out not to fit RHD cars, they just refunded the parts and let me keep the parts, LOL.

Got a reply today saying they're sending out the insert and crediting my account with $25

Nah I think the spoiler fits in just as it is, depends on the lighting maybe. Looks good

still have not seen one of these on the road! may have to visit ford just to test drive

Regy53 · 29 Apr 2016 at 20:13

Have seen loads of these round my way

One had plate MU54ANG or somthing...

Serious question on the v8 as i am sorely tempted, what sort of mpg are you getting? I know it seems silly to ask I just want to see if its worse than my s8 v10

Good luck! I'm still bitter that my nearest dealership is about an hour away

Worth the trip though!

My average is 17mpg, my 911 was also 17mpg and my M3 is around 20mpg all doing same driving which is pretty much all city driving and going for blast on country roads. On a long run on the motorway I achieved 31mpg.

Hi there

Today I changed my rear side reflectors for some Diode Dynamics ones.

UK stock ones are just amber reflectors which I tinted using vinyl, here are couple of images:

Diode Dynamics smoked LED rear side markers:

Install pretty easy, unclip rear license plate light housing, feed harness through to side markers, t-tap into number plate wires and job is done. I routed the wires into the bumper recess and cabled tied to prevent them from all on exhaust and melting.

They look more factory than vinyl wrapped factory ones and I love the fact they now light up when I have my side/main lights on just like a US car. They are also still reflective too.

Anything over 30 at any given time is surely amazeballs in a car like this.

Still have one penned down as a good midlife crisis car in a few years.

Regy53 · 1 May 2016 at 14:21

mpg about right then for what it is, i.e no worse than any other car of similar engine size etc.

Hmmm, even with these traders with new cars for sale with markup there very good value i love the amount of mods available.

Mr-White · 1 May 2016 at 21:31

Mines uneconomical even for an uneconomical car

Regy53 · 2 May 2016 at 00:34

do you have a speed with air speed on it? lol

I like it, very Nightrider.
