  1. The finishing touches you might not have wanted.

    I did spot the tiniest chip on the edge of the bumper where it meets the rear wing, but nobody else will ever notice it apart from me! Pointed it out to the dealer so it's on record, but there's no point getting it "fixed" - it's insignificant, they'd do way more damage removing and replacing...
  2. What mode do you normally drive in?

    Well, in the one day I've had my car it's been autobox in S, active exhaust in sport, and everything else default. Really impressed with the way the A10 box goes up and down the gears (and the way it sounds on the way down as it rev-matches especially!). I used to paddle-shift my Vette all the...
  3. RUBY RED S550 MUSTANG Thread

    As Steve said, they're the optional Performance Pack 1 wheels in the US (in Europe part of Custom Pack 4 - all Euro-spec GTs are Performance Pack 1 and not many factory options you can add). Had to have those wheels so was lucky when I gave up on my Ingot Silver steering-wheel-less factory...

  5. RUBY RED S550 MUSTANG Thread

    Finally picked her up today! 50F and sunny so perfect top-down weather :sunglasses: IMG_2001 (1) by GW65 posted Apr 11, 2019 at 4:19 PM
  6. Problem with passenger door rear view mirror

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but just picked up my 2019 GT and the passenger door mirror has the same problem described in here - it adjusts freely up, down, in and out...but when it's adjusted fully in it's still showing the lane next to me rather than the passenger edge of my car. If I...
  7. MY19 Order Placed

    After 6 months and 1 week, with a quick change from the Ingot Silver car I'd originally ordered to Ruby Red, I finally have a Mustang :) Couple of little things that need sorting, but the main problem is my face hurts from grinning too much! 10C outside and sunny so top-down, naturally...

  10. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Is that a Mk2 Escort in the background by any chance...?
  11. What's your blend date if you're waiting for a steering wheel?

    I bailed out of my will-it-or-won't-it order 10 days ago, and I'll be in the replacement car (same spec, different colour) next week - if I'd stuck with my original order, who knows when it would finally have arrived (certainly not the dealer nor Ford US). With the benefit of hindsight, I...

    Dealer just called...collecting my car next Thursday :)
  13. NEVER Factory order a Mustang

    A theme that keeps coming up is that custom orders are a pain for Ford, and you shouldn't custom order if you can't handle the worst case scenario. Problem is, if you've ordered from many other manufacturers there isn't a "worst case scenario" - your order a car, it gets built. In the UK (and...
  14. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Just pop your VIN into Etis (or if you don't have an account just ask someone to do it for you). Window sticker site is an alternative, and blend date should be near enough to the build date.
  15. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    It's a balancing act. If they don't get cars into stock, it's a 6-month+ wait for a factory order which puts a lot of people off. If they get cars into stock but over-estimate demand, they have to have a fire-sale. Same thing tends to happen with official Corvette imports (or certainly did...
  16. New facelift as 18 not well received

    Wow, I bow to your opinion - so much more valid than mine. I see you have a C7 Z06. I had a C6 Z51, and if I had bought a C7 it would also have been a similar spec. 430-odd BHP versus 460 BHP, similar weight, similar aerodynamics, similar suspension, etc. Claimed acceleration within...
  17. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Are you sure about that? I thought the face-lift '18 models started production on October 2017, so '17 models would have been built prior to that (i.e. earlier than Oct 2017).
  18. New facelift as 18 not well received

    Sigh...no, that was the premise of your original post - that people didn't like the facelift. Personally I do like it, and that's why I'm buying a '19 rather than getting a cheap '17. My point was that people who have an emotional investment in the "old" often make critical comments about the...
  19. New facelift as 18 not well received

    ...but the drop in sales 2018 versus 2017 was only 6,000 whereas the drop in sales 2017 versus 2016 was 24,000... I think what you're seeing is a combination of the usual tail-off during a model cycle, the fact that 2018 production year was quite short, people still moving away from cars to...
  20. For those waiting on a steering wheel

    Guys, have you never seen Raiders of the Lost Ark? The warehouse at the end is pretty much what the parking lot looks like. They have NO IDEA where individual cars are. It'll pass the time, but no way will complaining make any difference. Buy dealer stock, then leave the dealers with '19...
