Welcome, Phil!

Post absolutely in the right place, congrats on the order! Look forward to seeing the photos

Have done black out badges myself, a great mod. First thought is always Nemesis UK when it comes to parts.

It's been a few years, struggling to remember - but I think I purchased an OEM deck lid from the states, then added a gloss black GT black badge to it. Fit was perfect.

I know of others though that have the MP concepts panel, and no issues as far as I'm aware.

Reminds me - the black GT badge I have has started to lose its gloss black paint, starting to peel off :( been on there a good 6 years though so can't complain!

That's my plan too. Great minds think alike
The GT letters are so much better looking than what we get in the UK with the big round false petrol flap.

Welcome

There are a few members on here from around the Lancashire area ...

There is a (£3 charity donation) free meet on the first Sunday of the month (pending a clash with other big shoes) at Barton / City airport near the Trafford Centre.

There are a few other members on here that go regularly :

My black badges came direct from Ford - They were actually cheaper than the online vendors

Thanks for the welcome and details of the show. I was speaking to a neighbour of mine who has a GT and he said there is a bit of a meet up at an American Diner near Garstang called Billy Bob's. I wonder if anyone here is aware/been to?

Blck badges is obviously a must have on every owners list ha ha

I've been to Billy Bobs for food (and kids play) a few times, but never for a car meet.

Food is really good (if you like American Diner style food), but not good if you are on a diet, especially so if you start on the shakes and ice creams etc ...

I will be honest, I have picked up a few negative comments about the car meets there (from two separate people). One reported it was a tough (critical) crowd who were quite vocal with negative comments, and the other who came back to their car to find kids sat in it whilst dad took photos ... !

Broad shoulders fixes one issue, sitting / standing by your car, or sharing watch with someone you trust would fix the other

Edit - Should have added if you are up that way, Cleveleys car show had it's fair share of mustangs (old and new) last year

I know Cleveleys very well. Just a few miles from me. My Sister also has a Motor Shop and they usually have a stand there every year. I am trying to blag her to let my car be on her pitch and let her detailing crew go at it for the day. I get to see the cars and then come back to a perfectly polished and waxed car too. Happy days ha ha

I'm not sure I will make it this year otherwise I would have come and said hello - Ironman is earlier than normal and clashes, we normally go and support as for the last 10 years, there hasn't been a year where I've had less than two friends or family on it

Just keep away from the froth on the front ... lol (last year) :

I actually spotted this car again very local to me this weekend :

And I wonder if anyone recognises the background from Star Wars (Andor) ...

Ref the black badges :

Here you go, invoice and part numbers :

And a photo before fitment :

Hope that helps

OK a few years ago now, but even at the time, they were well under half of the cost of the non official Ford online retailers - At the time, I even considered buying more and putting them on ebay ... lol

I don't know if the 2025 badges are the same fitment, but as a comparison on cost (from the latest 2025 price list) :

That is amazing. Thank you so much. And so cheap! They are all for S550 (Mk6) yeah?

They are all a bit dearer now bit not by much. The 5.0 ones I can get from ford's official Ebay shop a little cheaper than ehat my local fors dealership quoted (basically don't pay VAT) the prancing horse is a lot cheaper than I could find anywhere else so placed my order. Thanks again. Very helpful, and why forums exist. You are a

The invoice photo is what I bought and fitted to my 2020 S550.

The price list screenshot is for the S650 (I’m not sure if they share the same badges), but I included it just to show that the dealer / Ford pricing is ‘competitive’ (at least for these items)

That's reminded me. Lowering springs...

Before Ford offered the Eibach springs in a UK flavour, for £150, the next alternative was to import from the US for about double the price. Bargain @ £150

Highly recommended as a mod if not already complete, don't forget the spacers too!
