Finally sorted out the passenger door mirror, inspired by the instructions in https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/how-to-fix-the-passenger-mirror.62599/ (I used about 3mm of washers). Found the thread from a link over at MOCGB, where someone was trying to fix the same problem and finally did it after getting his dealer to try 5 mirror brackets! Even better, there's not just variable tolerances in the brackets, there must be in the doors and mirror housings too - one of the brackets that didn't work on his car had been taken from a car in the showroom where it worked fine!

Cheers Adam, and others. I've found another place who've quoted me £200, so i've dropped them off there. Phew! Pick them up next Tuesday.

An update on my diamond cut stock Mustang wheels (2016), done last October. The dreaded white worm has gone into over-drive on all the wheels in the last 2 months so I decided to call it a day and sell them – I got £400 from WeBuyAnyAlloys. I knew the risks, but didn’t think it would get so bad so quickly, with the wheels just 2 months out of their short 6 month warranty (either a coincidence or the big-wigs at The Wheel Specialists know exactly what they’re doing!). I might have got more for them if I had sold privately, but I’m not so sure given their current condition (ironically, if they were just polished and not diamond cut, I could have had them cheaply touched up where damaged rather than needing to complete re-cut or re-spray them). So, diamond cut - never again! But the good news is that I’ve got them replaced with new Bola B18s in bronze. Off to Germany tomorrow for the big Mustang meet - so long as the heat doesn't kill me en route!

I fitted the exhaust last week and cut the standard diffuser to suit as i couldn't decide what aftermarket diffuser to fit.

Any more details on the exhaust? How big a job is this? I’m assuming this is a lot cheaper than buying the full Ford Performance active exhaust?

I think both back boxes were about a grand with VAT from Ford. They were supposed to be about £400 each but the drivers side one has a new part number and higher price and just under £600. The control kit was £157 from ebay. Item number 401678848988. Roush Valance was just under 400 from Nemesis UK.
The Ebay motors didn't line up with the ford valve so i just tack welded the spring in place as there isn't any room to get a tool into make new groves. Took a few mins a side and it was all working. The ford motors wont work with the ebay kit so they are spare parts.
The exhausts fit perfect and there is just 1 cut for each side to do and the mounting brackets all line up so mods needed.
I didn't do it to save money i just wanted an exhaust that was factory quiet for the family stuff and motorway trips but was loud when i wanted it to be.
Looking around the Roush active exhaust with valance is going to be about 3K so this is about half the price.
