I've got 3 outside of the PPF. There's some marks on the film but I've not noticed any major ones on it.

I'm nudging 12.5K.

Thanks, sounds like PPF worth it then particularly on a metallic

Got a couple of small ones that I've touched up....

I tend to keep my distance from cars in front, which I think helps, but at the end of the day, if your gonna use it it's going to happen..

Literally one or two (8000 miles). Much better than I was expecting actually. Used Dr Colorchip on them and can't see them now unless I'm really looking closely

i have just passed 3,000 miles, and no chips yet. I have to say, i am very impressed with the quality of the paint on the car.

I have about 5k since December last year, but mine been off road for nearly 4 months

Mine would of had about 9k by now

I think its one of the worst I've owned, never had soo many paint chips on a car

TBF, I don't think you can count yours as "chips".

Where's [MENTION=14447]Centurion07[/MENTION] when you need him?


Something intrigues me. I like the California Special, it's a beautiful car. I don't understand why Ford left the Brembo's off and went with the small brakes :shrug:

Only get the Brembo's on the PP pack cars.
Which is pretty strange as they must feel that in Europe we need better brakes, but the CS is the only model with the AS tires.
Ford have puzzled a lot of people with their packages
the best one to get the Auto wipers you need to buy the ACC

Thing is, if Ford says it's a Mustang, then it's a Mustang. 7th generation Golf is still a Golf, despite being twice as big / powerful as the 1st Gen and completely different.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. If you want to drive on the wrong side and feel superior then fine and good luck to you but it doesn't make my car any less valid.

I don't have any issue if its LHD or RHD 5.0 or V6 or 2.3 ecoboost
I was going to buy a RHD.
And have heard rumours that the V8 will be phased out, and maybe the V8 will stop being sold in Europe.
As Ford had expected the ecoboost to sell tons in Europe with the price of petrol

The paint seems to be really thin, the black is really bad so any form of protection is worth it, especially if planning on keeping the car long term, 5 on the bonnet and not had it a year
