Don't know if it's the same, but here in Italy we need that the size of wheels and tires we want to use are reported in the car's documents. If they are not there, we can't use it (unless we want to proceed with a new DMV homologation, which is a PITA and 99% not approved).
Also, wheels size is a check done by police every time they stop you..

I think we could have a chance: I obtained an homologation for 17'' wheels on my Ford Cougar with relative ease. Just asked for an authorization at Ford (via fax) and went through the necessary paperwork at the "Motorizzazione". Then the new size was added to my car documents.

Anyway, I personally will stick with the 19'' wheels: they will be enough for me!

:eyebulge: Didn't believe that someone could really get an homologation for different parts here!

One of my first mods will be a rear spoiler: being used with my Kaminari wing on the Cougar the back of the Stang will probably appear to me a bit... naked!

Something like this would be great

In Belgium they just charge you an additional fee at the yearly or 4 yearly inspection... "called tuning fee"

Never heard of this one...My Volvo has std 18" wheels (which I use with winter tyres) and in summer I have (NON volvo) 20" 265x40. 4th year in row without any extra invoice...

Look for Tuning on the bill or green form. I get it for my 17" wheels & 215 tires + even get it for a spoiler that was original from the factory.

Maybe "tuning fee" is just a nice word for bribe to look the other way at the inspection?

Hey guys.
I'm in the market for GT grill upper and lower.
Found on http://www.factorymoparparts.com/
The codes are:
FR3Z8200BA for upper, no pony emblem but you got that from EB
FR3Z17K945BA for lower.

I have no idea why the small one costs double the big one, but whatever.
This is one of the few(if not only) american websites that ship International.
My shopping cart is as following, 100$ parts and 80$ shipping. That's 160 Euros and I have to pay VAT and Customs reaching to 200 Euros. Not to shabby.
I got a friend that imports parts from around the world and told him to look into the matter, hope he'll get me a better deal.
I'll post here as soon as I get a quote and who wants let me know.
Also I found that the stock Intercooler is 126$ and adding shipping and taxes reaches 200 Euros. I think I can live 1-2 years with that dented IC and save for an aftermarket one. Code: FR3Z6K775A

I also found websites like these, with codes and images to see what you buy. Kinda interacting and helps a lot.

Cheers guys.
Ow if GT guys want EB grills to swap, lemme know, we can both save some money )

Also, anyone bought rubber mats to put over or replace the cloth ones?
I dont want oem or expensive stuff considering how filthy this place is. Just want to protect my original ones.
Found some on Ebay for 15$, they say they fit, but who knows.

 

[NewMustangDE]

I bought the OEM ones. They are very good and fits perfect

The standard mats are only fitted at the front and are cheap and nasty!

I don't want to pay hundreds of $$ for simple mats that goes under my shoes.. so no OEM for me too! I had to search on ebay for something that fits the 15.
Years ago I bougth a set from ebay, very good quality (I had them on my Alfa until now) and you had the chance to personalize in every way like colors, stitching, logos, etc.
I paid probably <30 eur.

And you found something ok?
I found on ebay for a decent price but the shipping is 50+. Total is 70-80$ and I have to pay taxes also... ebay uk has nothing...

I found that vendor.. it has no auction atm for the 2015, but I have sent a mail asking for it.
However, 34 eur + 10 shipping (in Italy) and you can choose border, decorations and so on.
this is the link http://www.ebay.it/itm/200741494999?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[Lsstefan]

Gonna be tough in winter.

[papinist]
