GRABBER BLUE S550 MUSTANG Thread

[ForYourOwnGood]

I figured I'll ask in here since its a GB question, I'm picking up a full new set of calipers for my car (winter was NOT kind to the originals with the amount of salt this year) and I plan to get them powdercoated before I put them on.

Has anyone coated them blue to match the paint, and which color/brand of powder did you use to get the color close?

That's an option, he is using G2 paint that I know you can get matched but I want to powdercoat so it lasts longer. Maybe the place can match it if I take a sample?

Wash day a couple of weeks ago. Gotta love the synthetic towel from Maguires. Zero water spots.

You sure got hold of 2018 export tail lights quickly. Is the 2018 model available for sale in the UK already?

Yeah there’s a few 2018’s over here now, tail lights were replaced under warranty as they were filling with water, no 2017 lights available at the time of the issue but 2018’s were available so had to be those sadly!

Perhaps the 2018 lights are the only ones that don’t leak? Lucky I don’t drive mine in the rain.

Yes, we've had them here for the last 4 or 5 weeks. Seems to be the more successful (and knowledgeable!) dealers that have received them.

There are 0% finance deals on the last of the '17s, so a number of people are snapping up bargains.

These images, from one of our enthusiastic dealers (they're a rarity here!) shows a '17 and an '18 awaiting collection from their respective new owners last weekend

It is surprising to see the UK get the first RHD cars first again, considering that Australia is reportedly the biggest RHD Mustang market, and also the biggest volume outside of the USA too. It is Ford Australia’s second best selling model, and popular with Ford dealers.

At least we will have the privilege of watching factory supported 2018 models race against GM in the Supercar series next year: https://www.motorsport.com/v8supercars/news/mustang-supercars-1027167/
