Still prefer DIB though ;)

That's just soooooooo last year :p

Well, if a '16 colour can be last year in, er, 2016 :headbonk:

Must admit, I do love that Lightning Blue.......but Deep Impact is still gorgeous!

Which blue one? ;)

The Grabber Blue is a non-R and those are the "stock" GT350 wheels. Someone does make a replica already.....might be American Muscle, I'd need to check.

The Lightning Blue is a GT350R, and those are the carbon fibre wheels that come with that package. I've been lucky enough to lift one of those (without a tyre) and it's incredibly light.

:)
Ah! so they are the Carbon Fibre wheels, any replicas about?

So i'm referring to the Lightning Blue GT350R with the multi colour stripes, my understanding was that the GT350R blue was Liquid blue.:confused:

Yeah, this is the new for '17MY Lighting Blue. It'll be available on the rest of the range, too.



This is Liquid Blue.....it was a show colour only for the first GT350 shown at the auto shows. It was also used on the GT supercar, Raptor and RS Focus. I was a multi-stage paint process that Ford said wasn't economical for production. It is very similar to the Lightning Blue though :)




As for replicas of the carbon fibre wheels.......it's only a matter of time, but I'm not aware of any yet.

^^ Cheers TT. must admit, Lightning blue is nice, but I'm happy with DIB, but that Liquid blue is on another level, the depth is amazing.

I guess they'll update the configurator once the V6/Ecoboost/GT details are released (which was supposed to happen on the 1st, so there's a delay for some reason). Also, despite order guides for the GT350/R being released, there's no pricing yet.

You'd kind of think they might just have a holding page on the configurator though :shrug:

The US config has pricing - $60 odd K for the R
