Detailed Order Process (UK-S550)

[Manders Mustang]

Well this was a thread I never thought I would have to read! Very well put together Mr Mander

Anyone else out there recently ordered? Or am I the only silly bugger who still wants a MY17 after the MY18 was announced?

Am I perhaps the only person to order 2 S550.1's? :ford:

No there's that guy who got two black ones, one RHD one LHD (Can't remember his specific tag) ones a vert the other a fastback.


And thank you ! You can now use COTUS for the American side of the order process, but it's not all that 'good' for reviewing, it's just a pretty dealer system which is a bit inaccurate.

Congratulations :cheers:

(P.S. rules of the forum stipulate you can only use the word 'finally' if it took over a year )

Thanks.

I orderd last June so not too far off a year!

They are probably trying to work out what a competition pack is

That's mine then! :doh: hopefully this will not cause much of a delay!

Mine got stuck in 'snowmageddon' in Feb 2016; didn't seem to suffer

It gets to Southampton on the Autostar that I think leave ZB twice a week - you can check by looking at Southampton Docks arrival list. You know when you have been allocated a Autostar when it says delivered from on the WWL website

Is autostar a ship or a shipping firm?

It's owned by UECC if memory servers correctly.

I have created this spreadsheet which allows you to get a best case and worst case for each stage. You can also use it to get a better idea of the collection date as each stage gives you an actual date.

I don't know how to upload it so if someone can help out that would be awesome

Nice one, I did a similar thing on Excel - thought I was the only one sad enough to do it!

I'll check my numbers against yours.

There's an excel doc people updated in the OP link here:

Trust me, you are not the only one who is "sad enough" :lol:I wake up and the first thing I check is COTUS and then ETIS. I have already bought my private VRM's and a whole load of mods. my car hasn't even left the upfitters yet lol

Yup, I also use that spreadsheet too. I created this spreadsheet just so I could see how my actual dates for each process are comparing with the predicted best and worst case.

Plus it also allows me to get an up to date prediction based on the actual date of the last process. I just found it handy and thought if anyone else felt the same way they could also use it

My dealer gave me an estimated del date of 6th of may, looking at this its unlikely that will now be met and hopefully when all actual dates are in I can look back at it and see where the delays occurred.

Im just in the process of purchasing some Roush quarter panel scoops at the moment. Then I need to buy a roush hood scoop and finally a sto n sho EU plate holder and I can have all the parts at my aunties shipped at the same time to the UK.

Also asked Varbon for a quote for the CF Rear Wing and the CF hood so will see how that pans out. Hopefully a lot cheaper than Anderson Composite due to the items being manufactured in Europe. (I have given up on cervini. Tried contacting them on the forum, facebook and direct email and got nothing to show for it except wear and tear on my keyboard).

Will purchase the mishimoto H pipe from the UK and also the FP oil Separator as well. Ill probably install the oil separator before I drive the car out of the dealership lol


that's the plan anyway.

Not a bad list at all, In all honesty, did you try alibaba for the CF hood and wing, they've got a few, far cheaper than American suppliers, and risking getting a few choice worded PM's from butt hurt American "suppliers" (aka repackagers), doing a bit of digging on certain sellers on there may yield some financially sound results for yourself.... Or in short... there's sellers on there that literally sell to certain companies, who put a huge mark up on them ;)!
