Magnetic.....at last!

Slightly concerned this is another Euro-spec without the DRL gills lit :(


Anyway, other than that....

Good find. However, similar to other Euro spec car, the DRL gills look to be off when the main lights are on

I took a few minutes in photoshop to change the facelift a bit. Hood lines, deeper sitting upper grille and getting rid of the triangles make it look so much better imho.

@Twin Tubro: Take a close look at the convoy video one page ago, there are clearly EU spec Mustangs with Tribar DRL among them - Also don't forget that the NCAP EU car had tribar DRL

That makes it look loads better indeed. Hope some aftermarket company comes up with something like this.

That is actually mandatory. You're not allowed to run DRLs and regular lights at the same time, at least not in The Netherlands.

I'm not even 1% worried about the tribar DRLs. The rep in the video clearly explained how they explicitly redesigned the position of the tribars in the new headlight to conform with export regulations and be able to offer the same signature look.

That's interesting.....and not something that applies in the UK. Thank for the info

Good work, Ace. I like 'em both. I certainly can't wait to see what the aftermarket......in particular Roush & Steeda come up with. Not to mention whatever Ford Performance does with the Halo-Stang

They can if they are dimmed enough I think.

Yeah that's true, if they have a dual function as parking lights. Many Europan cars have these combined led units nowadays. And it's actually how my tribars work too. Parking, DRL and blinkers all in one.

Right, and the EU facelift will have the parking light in the bar under the headlights - so if headlights are on, the tribars are not

Just purchased a 2017 GT last week and I'm a little sad that the 18 is so close. But I'm happy with the grabber blue color and don't see it on the 2018 lineup so there's a plus for me. It's not like I drive by 2014s and think they're slow compared to me. A few % wont make much difference on the highways.

Now that's what it should look like, the current 15-17 theme evolved. Please advise where I can order this updated front end! Shut up and take my money! :clap2:

That is quite significantly better. The hood lines look much better too, without that jog to the beltline. Much better. The '15-17 has a smooth line all the way from the grille rearward. What about with a 15-17 shaped headlight?

I also miss the buldges in the hood. That's one of my favorite things: looking out and seeing those. You know you're in something special.

As we see Ford offering the 72 month 0% on 2017s at this time this year. Will that offer be made on the 2018s in the second half of the year as the 19 rolls out?

I really like what you did with the bumper, very nice.

Edit; not certain why the photo does not show up on my post, hmmm
