I deleted my stripes around the same time as Drewbo, but my dealer led me to believe it was successful and dropped the price accordingly. Car build is imminent so don't have that final confirmation yet.
Already have my stripes from BigWormGraphix sitting here next to my orange fluffy dice...
Ok so I got a very helpful reply from Paul, giving me my VIN, an expected build date, expected delivery date and links to ETIS, 2WGobal.com and marinetraffic.com. And no wonder I hadn't heard from Liam - apparently he left back in August. Probably hit send on my email on his way out the door...
Apologies for my lack of engagement in the last few months. Went to the US in Oct/Nov and drive 3000 miles in four Mustangs (1 EB and 3 V6) and a Camaro and have been pretty busy since I got back, so haven't spent much time here.
But now that the lucky few are starting to receive their ponies...
I've picked up a few different models at Hobbyco in Rhodes, whilst on pilgrimages to IKEA. They seem to have very competitive prices, better than eBay.
As much as I didn't want to hear it, I've confirmed through Ford Australia (still didn't believe them when they told me on Facebook) and then finally Deysha from FordService on this forum, that the images posted by Drewbo are an accurate representation of the stripes. I still want to see them...
Well, I didn't want to believe it but I now have confirmation through a reliable source that the stripes do in fact fade out at each end of the car. I know some of you said that your dealers had confirmed it but I couldn't be sure that they had actually checked properly. So I asked on the...
Finally got my dealer to give me an updated delivery date, improving on the heartbreaking August 2016 they had most recently told me. My new date is April 2016 (ordered 24 March 2015), which will be perfect timing to break her in before a trip up the Stuart Highway to Darwin, over to Cairns and...
I need to hit "thanks" eight times for that post! That's even better than I thought it would be. And the CHiPs bike too! That was my favourite show!
I love the US too and this will be my third trip and my wife's second. Two years ago we went to Hawaii and did the cruise around the islands...
I still don't believe the stripes are graduated. I asked Ford via their facebook page a few days ago and they are working to confirm. I'll post the answer in a new topic.
I really wouldn't worry about the fading stripes - just some graphic artist thinking he's being smart. I've never seen any photos of real cars in the wild with stripes like that.
Congrats Peter, that's awesome.
Re the stripes, a number of people have commented on that and similar images in a number of threads, where the stripes appear to fade. I doubt very much that that is a photograph or in any way a true reflection of what they actually look like, rather an attempt...
Just updated the spreadsheet, including a recent survey response. If I've missed your update please let me know.
