My DIB

[zero7]

Good job, I keep finding new paint defects on mine on a weekly basis. Tons on fish eyes all over , especially front bumper

Found a few more, there is a dent on the rear arch, single skin so a smart dent remover can easily remove.

My detailer noticed two small holes in the paint that go through to the primer, defect during the painting process. One on the bonnet and one on the rear quarter panel.

Showed my dealer today and they were very helpful, will be going down to the body shop with them to discuss options, don't want a full panel respray but on the other hand i will notice a smart repair too.

Is it obvious that it's done at the factory. What's stopping your dealer saying its a stone chip? Or did you not drive it to the detailers?

There is no way I could spot things like this on collection day as I will be far too excited and just want to get it home.

I have plenty of those on mine as well, quite poor paint quality control from Ford to be honest. Interesting you say the arch is single skinned, i'm having the carpark dent suffered last week taken out today, the guy said the arch is double skinned therefore he needs to go from the inside (and remove the trim!)

@ Big_G - Interesting, it was the rear arch, it's was the detailer said, he used to be in the bodyshop trade, will see what the garage say when the dent guy comes out.

The issue with these paintwork defects is they are noticeable but I don't want to respray as I've had a terrible experinece on my old M3. Which resulted in a full body factory respray.

Yeah mine is literally just above the arch, guy is on his way over now

That's a bad one, my is tough to notice, let use know how you get on. Are you planning to do anything re the paint defects?

Is this a DIB thing? Or just more noticeable on DIB. Others don't seem to report the same problems (which you would think would affect Magnetic as well).

 

[Big_G]

Sorted, no access from inside as the wheel arch was in the way so he had to glue pull it. Hasn't affected the coating either.
Arch is definitely double skinned so watch if your dealer is saying its single

 

[stiggy]

I was about to say, that's a glue pull if ever I saw one. Hope they did a good job?

Had my Borla S-type exhaust, 25mm spacers and Steed progressive lowering springs fitted yesterday by Modurmustang.

Really happy with the results, first impressions on the springs, great drop, a lot of Wallowy feel has been removed and I can feel the road surface more in the seat of my pants.

I was worried about 25mm spacers on the rear but they look fine to me and no rubbing yet despite the drop..

What can I say about the Borla Cat Back, wow, what difference, it sounds like an animal, this is a must have mod for the Mustang, it really transforms the sound...

Looks superb

Looks great. Glad people are happy with 25mm spacers as that's about the size I'm going for!
One thing you might want to consider is splash guards for the front to stop stones and shit being thrown up onto your paintwork.

Do you mean mudflaps? If so I've not seen any on a Mustang, don't think they would look right...

@Gibbo205 @Big_G show em off lads

Splashguards/mudflaps same thing really (watch someone prove me wrong now)

Some here:

however, think there's some WAY cheaper than that

These are splashguards......much more subtle than mudflaps but keep the worst away from the paintwork
