How easy is this to fit? Is it a bumper off job?
I have a US sto n sho and it uses one of the existing fixings on the undertray and you need to drill two pilot holes for the other two. The EU bracket looks the same. Nothing needs removing and it takes around 15 minutes.

I have Euro sto n show. No drilling was required on the Ecoboost. The bracket has three screws to fix. Two are existing holes with longer screws supplied. Rather than drill the hole for the third, I just used 3m double sided tape instead. Mine has been on car for over six months with no problems.

My dealer is going to install mine. Though it is pretty easy to do it yourself.

Your dealer should be glad if you'd provide them with one. It's easier for them to install a plate that mounts on existing holes than having to drill 4 new ones.

It's indeed a super easy job! Comes with a manual and everything :D And normally you don't have to drill anything (besides in your license plate obviously) if you get the correct model. Most US websites don't make the distinction, but there's a different plate on the EU models for the

a) ecoboost and GT AT
b) GT MT

Because of the different bottom plates underneath the car.

Following with interest, may be interested unless it's pain to fit. I think it will show off the stripes a lot better when fitted.

It's a 10 minute job number does not need to be removed. I have the US version which your supposed to drill 2 holes. I haven't bothered and just used double sided tape and then 1 original fixing hole. It hasn't moved since July.

Perfect, I think they look good, a little different. Will send a PM to sort !

It's on my list - I've already threatened the Sales Guy with dire consequences and retribution if a drill bit goes anywhere near the front of the bumper!

Fitted my US Sho-n-Sto yesterday (but not attached the number plate and Roush Surround I've got for it yet)... absolute piece if p*ss... 5-10 mins max. and looks so much better than those bloody awful dinner tray sized plate mounts that come with the car ( which I've got for sale if anyone wants them - still new/sealed in their original wrapping! :D )!
