Ah! Well yeah, now you're into bespoke ppf patterns. My advice here would be: Do. Not. Allow. On panel cuts. I would expect the person applying the ppf, to develop patterns, off the car and then apply the ppf pre-cut to those patterns. Sometimes, people apply ppf and cut it on the panel. This...

A couple of hundred quid. Remember, the paint work off-rip should be " OK-ish ", but if you're going ppf, it has to be mint. But as it's a new car, the detail shouldn't entail much work, unless you've been unlucky enough to already have had a stone chip or something. I'd be looking to around...

Yes, that's pretty much a given. Right or wrong, my car left the factory with less than ideal paint finish. With ppf you're locking in the paint finish, so I had a body shop I use, detail the car's paint work first (additional cost), to remove the swirls and other defects in the factory finish...

I spent £4k on ppf for the entire car, but it was done in two stages, by two companies. First stage was the splitter to 'A' pillar, by a bunch I would not recommend. A short time later, I had the rest of the car ppf'd by Jules Sturgess in Cambridgeshire. After my experience, I'd suggest that...

Definitely regs and cats killing off the sound of the V10 in the R8. Hence, I suspect that's why the Gallardo sounds good. The sad fact is the emissions regs requiring increasingly dense filters on the exhausts is killing the sound. Best way to play it in a new car and NA (Congrats on the new...

In the late 80s, early 90s, the Sierra cosworth was around 200bhp and was considered to be a very quick car, much to the frustration of the owners and their insurance companies. During the 90s we here in the U.K. saw hot hatches getting up to around 200bhp and the media of the time printing...

" Other driver: Now this (pointing to his own car) is fast, it has 258 hp " I would have taken that comment as self deprecating humour. I've come to the conclusion, I enjoy the sound my car makes, way more than the performance.

During the initial several months of ownership, strangers would approach me, wanting to chat about the car (I hadn't anticipated this part of the ownership " experience "). I was never at ease about that. These days it's +ve comments about the sound. I occassionally get the " How many miles to...

Hhmmm. Vented wings and bonnet... WANT! But how, from whom?

Hadn't thought of your solution and I like it because there's no metal work required and it's 100% no alteration to the sheet metal. Where as, I've had to make 4 square holes in the sheet metal to attach the VW hooks. Post up a pic of your Bunjee solution, so folk can see which holes you've...

I'd avoid that ebay hook as it appears to use 'J' nuts for the fixings. The VW/Audi hooks use plastic blocks, into which the screws are driven. Probably as a corrosion prevention.

Didn't know about the luggage net. I fitted the VW luggage hooks, a few months after getting the car in 2019. Use them all the time. Keeps the bags upright & contents inside. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-uk-s550-mustang-today.50215/page-449#post-2683795

Am I reading that correctly? £6.5k for four wheels?

Many thanks for that. I have a 19MY, but I will certainly look into that. Cheers. :like:

What does " in built " mean? I haven't found an oil temp display option in my car, although I would very much like one. How can oil temp be read??

Have you installed an oil temp gauge?

It's not a continuous drone, but a temporary buzz/tizz, at a very specific/narrow region of the rev range, which at full-chat I blast through in a second. Furthermore, it doesn't occur at the speeds I cruise at, ie, 65-70mph. So I'm good there, no drone and I'm cruising at a legal speed. Now...

I have the 'H' pipe, really wanted the 'X' pipe, but time was a factor. The resonance is most noticeable, with valves open & it's not pleasant, imo. If I had the time, I'd look into fitting GT500 resonators & the 'X' section. But yes, there is audible resonance with the 'H' pipe, only at a...

Lol, love that idea, agree totally, I'm not a fan of that interior, especially the instrument panel :thumbsup: Actually, I've reflected on the not so recent trend for darkened windows, in the U.K. and I've come to the conclusion that the mysterious trend for blacked out windows from the 'B'...

I agree & I think that was the point of the remark. Approaching three decades working for Ford, on and off, & owning for even longer. Ford marketing seems commited to bizzare decisions. The interior & exterior design seem to me to have lost any relation to previous, popular, iconic versions of...
