@MAD MATT

New car / decals, heat, goo gone and a little patience sorted mine - essentially just a careful peel off and then a clean up.

Have a look at this thread here for other opinions :https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/sunvisor-decal-removal.138038/

Good luck !

The sign on the passenger sun visor in my car has begun to remove itself (or has succumbe to my powers of thought).
I've been meaning to get a warm air gun on it, to finish the job.

It's a ghastly thing & H&S over reach, imo.

Coming back to the gear knob, what paint did you use for the green? Would love to do mine to match the lightning blue. Yours looks amazing!

Just standard auto touch up, from the paint supplier rather than Halfords.

Ford couldn’t get me one, neither could the paint supplier the first time I went in. It was a new colour to the U.K. and hadn’t registered on his system, the last time ford used it (1971) was too old for his system. A few visits later and his system had updated with the recipe. I think it was just under £10 and there’s loads. I did the knob and the breather, wasted more than I used and there’s loads left, it will dry up before I get chance to use it all.

Didn’t get chance to do much on the car today (family day out ), but got just enough time to clean and add repellent to all the exterior glass and mirrors.

I’m not sure when Ford changed the badge on the screen but mine is more prominent than the pre facelifts I have seen :

It’s kind of already got a lighter colour backing to add contrast which means I can’t add one of @Zombie coloured decals behind it

My 2019 car doesn't have a badge on the screen at all

Are you going to "Green Out" the red point in the 5.0 badges?

Are you going to "Green Out" the red point in the 5.0 badges?

I'm on the fence with that one for a few reasons ...

A) Vinyl - It would need to be an exact match as it sits so close to the paintwork.
B) Vinyl - Longevity ?
C) I know if I did it I would be looking at the Brembo's thinking what they would look like with a text change to match ... lol

I did wonder about painting them and planned on using one of the removed chrome badges as a trial - that idea went to shit though when the only way I could get the OE badges off was in multiple pieces (although I should raid the bin and check they actually broke across the dot). I was wondering about paint filling the dot using the same touch up that I used for the gear knob and breather text

Your old bonnet vents will be going on next Once the bubble have come out of the PPF I applied ...

beautiful car, and really nice mods, How about those quad tips you were thinking of having made, anything further progress on these ?

Not yet, but shouldn’t be long off now ...

I’m just under two weeks into ownership and I’ve still got some bits in the garage to fit and I’ve yet to complete it’s external detail - once done I will be scratching around for the next bit of the project and that should be the tips.

I’m defo going to have to do something with them (although they do look a bit nicer now I’ve fettled them a bit) - my bro came to look at the car with me when it arrived and having not had a look around a mustang before (still quite rare in the U.K.), one of his first comments after the colour was that he thought they could have done something nicer with the tips ...

The boot liner turned up It was part of the deal on the car and after messing around with it I’m kind of glad I didn’t have to pay for it ...

I have no idea why these come rolled up, but a bit of work with a hair dryer and some random stuff I could reach quickly soon had it flat again :

Matches the mats I will use in the back nicely (the mats are a much tougher material and far higher quality) :

Almost finished back there now :

The advantage of bullying the misses into signing up for the simply mustang Facebook group ...

Might as well stick these in here as it came up on another thread.

Bad photos sorry - dark nights, flash, tight spaces, close up etc ...

Black vinyl spots - no one notices them and they allow for perfect alignment after moving the seats / getting in the back etc :

Set the drivers seat, match the passenger seat, sticker them up, job done

It’s something I’ve done for years on my tri bike - allows for perfect refitment of the seat post etc and allows you to keep an eye on any slippage etc.

That's a really clever solution.

I've had these stored for a while now (bought from @cib24 ) :

Ford Performance Torsen diff.
Ford Performance 4.09 rear gear.
Ford Performance diff rebuild kit.
Very inquisitive cat.

There was a bearing missing from the rebuild kit but FP came through and sent it to me directly from the states, it arrived yesterday in under three working days ... ! Not sure about their choice of box size though, it's fair to say it was 'very' well packed and protected ...

I'm letting the dust settle on this one before the install as there are additional complications with the 2020's and gear changes. I'm hoping that by the time I get around to it it will just be a simple job of acquiring the procal tuner and doing nothing more than altering the diff ratio. Worst case is that it can be done immediately, but it requires a tune - something I'm not comfortable doing at the moment.

A bit (lot) of unexpected downtime at work due to network issues meant I’ve been able to be a little bit creative, spot the difference ...

This decal is the only one left on the visors (passenger side inward facing) :

That’s a bit better ...

Until I can find a good way of getting the original off (or the misses spots it and I can’t convince her Ford supplied it like that) it will have to do

Yes, but it’s not a daily driver and it’s only been in work twice - on Fridays (quiet car park) and only when it’s been dry ... lol

There’s a very architectural building close by that I want to take it to for some full photos, I want the black bonnet vents on first though as at that point it won’t change ‘visually’ for quite a while
