Just got back from 3 weeks travelling China. Kept a look out for Mustangs and saw 4 in total. The first in Beijing driving down the road but wasn't able to take a photo. We then went to Xi'an and in our travels drove past a Ford dealer and saw one on the lot and another driving down the road. The fourth one we saw in Hangzhou which is pictured below. The driver was sitting in it and was very proud of the car when I asked if I could take a photo of it. The cars are left hand drive in China but this one is parked the wrong way which is not unusual in China. In fact nothing is unusual when it comes to driving in China. Just up the road from this was a McLaren parked on the side of the road with gutter rash on all of the wheels.

There was 4 or 5 of them in the public access area at the Shanghai F1 last month. From memory only one of them was standard.

The Liberty Walk/Rocket Bunny kits? No, just no. Not on any car.

FWIW, yes, the Mustangs are expensive in China, but there's stacks of money there!

We know someone who imports cars into China (and has done a few Mustangs), so I could probably find out the actual cost if anyone cares? :)

Not a fan of the doors I'm sorry.

I'm a little old fashioned

Just noticed that those flared wheel arches appear to be just screwed in.

It's all the rage at the moment. Look up Liberty Walk and Rocket Bunny.
You'll see hundreds of cars that have been ruined with riveted on overfenders.

The best part is, they're not cheap - they can cost you $20k for a set!
