Front end off jobby

[Mustang Cally]

After hanging my nose over Shep's rather lovely GT last weekend at Mick's garage I came away with a four figure wish list.
First item was the GT lower grill, I'd dismissed this as unnecessary until I saw it on Dave's car and how well it flows into the upper grill so the order has gone in while there's a huge £3 discount at FordpartsUK.
Now I know the front end has to come off for this and it's not a five minute job so before I dig out my big hitting hammer and make a start is there anything else I should be looking at doing/adding while I have the front end off?

Oh, and no matter how hard I search I can't find the Enoch How To video for this job.. :shrug:

DRL LEDs, LED sidelights, switchbacks are a few you could do. ;)

Lighting upgrade. Black pony. Big mouth

Cheers for the ideas guys.
LED drls and sidelights went on the day I picked the car up and I like my pony shiny but the bigmouth and switchbacks are good suggestions.

Big Mouth ordered although I'm not convinced I'll see any actual benefits but it's a nice bit of red bling.

With a Roush cai, I thought the Velossa big mouth made the car feel slightly more nippier

Velossa should give a bit more airflow into the engine bay.

Things to do when bumper is off (part lower grille):

1) DRL upgrade (LED)
2) Sidelight upgrade (LED)
3) Switchbacks
4) If you want any plastics paiting, they're easier to get out when the bumper is off (such as the Foglights etc)
-The not so needed things-
5) Pony changes - if you want to
6) Check the headlights as I know some have condensation issues, which can't all be prevented, however, just check the seal around them. Not necessary but may as well
7) Tighten Sidelight/LED hubs, mine were just sitting in the hole but not twisted in, finally twisted them in whilst bumper was off.
8) Velossa, again, if you want to.
9) Paint radiator cover - Again, if you want to as it'll be already off anyway.
10) Ziptie any hanging wires etc.


Other than that, think that's about all I can think of
