Hey guys and gals, thought it was about time to introduce my beast.

Unfortunately the start of my ownership was a sad day for me, as some of you know the day I collected my car my father passed away so this car now has alot of meaning to me as I know he would have loved a ride in it. Even before I had seen the car in real life I knew the direction I was going to take with the styling of the car... Sinister was my plan going down the grey, black and red theme. So it only seemed right to give the name "Sinister P" as my fathers name was Peter.

So here he is the day I picked it up from Peoples Ford Edinburgh.

First things first was to see what he was making on the dyno so a quick trip to MB Garage services near Ellon,

Which produced a healthy 372bhp and 369lbft at the wheels.

As my wife will tell you I cant leave any of my cars alone so the modifying began long before it even had the car... I had all this waiting a good 6 months before the car was even in production :crazy:

So I began throwing on the parts.

I did a couple of the "free mods" like the engine bay sound deadening delete and tucked my bonnet "hood" for Muricans... release cable.

My wife and I are huge petrol heads she drives a Audi RS4 4.2 v8 hence why I had to get a 5.0 v8 :headbang: so we have a prity amazing drive way!

since we both dont want anything to happen to our motors I got in touch with Blackvue UK to ask them about a pair of their dash camera kits. so they sent us out a pair of their dr650s-2ch systems which record front and rear and a lot more. I installed mine neatly up under my mirror.

I wanted to add some colour to the engine bay covers to tie in the cars theme so a days work turned them from plain to "not so plain" lol
from this:-

with a bit of this:-

and this (wife didnt know):-
37130722796_2212d364d7_c.jpg

to this:-
37130720196_8999302284_c.jpg

finally ended up in the engine bay looking a lot better just for a days work...

My lovely wife surprised me with a Coyote badge to tie in to the theme of the car :love:
37321133125_715231b991_c.jpg


Which I thought would be a 2 min job to fit... boy was I wrong lol
37130709646_b20ca86aa4_c.jpg

I took this chance to fit my satin black pony and 5,0 badges also opened up the grille holes on both ends to allow more air flow to the air intake.

Next up was my "custom made" rear seat delete so that our dog can come with us on our adventures,

our lump is in the back seat the driver is our friends dog who didnt quite understand what we were trying to do...

So that brings us to how it sits now with the addition of window tints all round, a sun strip, a bobble head on the parcel shelf, couple stickers and a few coats of wax,

Nice work Doug. Looking good :ford:

Removal of the front bumper is a right of passage for Mustang ownership I feel :lol:

Yeah i have a few parts coming from the states and the DRL's are in there

Looks good mate. Sorry to hear about your father.

Suggestions?
Led DRLs
Lowering it would look good.
Replace the lower grill with the normal GT one

Apart from that mate it looks very aggressive. Love it!

looking at the Steeda extreme spring to give it a nice drop,
and yeah the lower GT USA spec grille is on my list of bits to get my hands on but also been looking at doing a custom front grille set so will see what i end up doing.

Nice work Doug. Looking good :ford:

after reading all the peoples posts that have had issues with the end clips i was very nervous but it all went well...:first:

Some tasteful mods you've done there; it's a great looking car but that's gonna happen when you start with Magnetic ;)
Have you tinted your rear lights? That's something i've been considering for the last 18 months. Also the Coplus front sequential indicators have a nice smoked lens so would fit well with your styling.
Was sorry to hear of your father's passing. I knew him through my step-father. He was a good man :thumbsup:

So sorry to hear of your Dads passing matey.

My Dad passed away in 2008, he was an American citizen having taken US nationality back in the 80's. I grew up in the states and still have my green card and have always held a special fondness for all things American.

I had never considered a Mustang but when I went to sort my Dads estate I found s folder he had assembled, with all the magazine and newspaper articles for the S197 launch back in 2004/5. It was at this point I decided to get a Mustang. I bought a 2008 Grabber Orange GT premium and loved it to bits other than one issue.... LHD. I hated it here in the UK.

So, with great regret it was sold in 2011 but then when the RHD model came out I decided it was time to respect my Dads love of the Mustang and get one. Time went on and I was dragging my heels, but then when I saw the 2018 I just had to order the '17 model right away before they all ran out!!

My Dads name was "Bob", short for Robert, so I guess I should call my car "Sinister B" or "Sinister R"?

I actually like the rear lights as they are been looking at the sequential indicators mostly because i like the tri bar brake lights...

and thanks he was some man and Yorkie was a great friend to him. :cheers:

That's how I started. Nice to see a story book of what you have done. That oven is perfect size for your front lights.
