The entire bumper was removed for two small mods this weekend (there's more substantial upgrades coming soon I promise!):
1) Replacing the ugly lower grille we get on the Euro Mustangs with the authentic US spec design with matching honeycomb pattern and 'fangs'.
2) Wire in Switchbank DRL/Indicators.
BEFORE:
DURING:
AFTER:
Both involved way more work than they're worth, but they're nice subtle improvements.
As usual, here's a video edit of the job. There's a preview of what else I've got in store for my Mustang at the start.

My Mustang earned its stripes!
I went for black GT350 style stripes with the white pinstripe design, but with GT500 inspired widths of 10 inches, so I guess that makes my car a GT850..?
Other details include wrapped mirrors, headlight corner tint, dechrome window trim and red reflector tint. The badges weren't really suitable for wrapping, so I'm looking at blacking them out with Plastidip + Glossifier to complete the look.
I'm really loving the new look! I'm so glad I decided to go with stripes over just the black roof that I originally planned.

I freshened up my brakes with gloss black to the discs to rear calipers, then something a little different for the front... White Brembos!
I ended up with a couple of runs on the Brembos, but I'm happy with the finish overall. Spraying the rears was much easier than painting the fronts with a brush, but I wanted to use a two-pack paint for the white to hopefully provide a hard durable finish. I ended up using the Foliatec Caliper Kit, which was handy with it coming with a new wire brush and can of brake cleaner.
I wonder how long it be until I regret my colour choice due to perpetual cleaning!
