I agree - shame about the white lights & the gas cap logos really do look naff. Dont understand why Ford feel the need to tweak things like that?! The first thing I will change.
I couldnt see any photos confirming no gauges but from the youtube videos I have seen, and what I have read online, the euro spec ecoboosts will come with performance pack elements as standard (I could be wrong), so will have the centre "boost gauges" not sure about the GT gauges though...

There won't be center gauges - but i do not care about it... i care about aluminium panel - GT PP in US got great aluminium, aircraft-techno looking, we get just normal aluminium.

Just have been at Munich airport to see all the cars. I'm very disappointed about arrogant, not supporting people from Ford (I have already ordered and got a VIN but they did not let me in a car!! - all cars for journalists only???) and about the low quality of the cars concerning alignment of body parts, doors, trunk, headlights and 3rd brake light. This is really strange and I'm wondering if there is / was any quality control. As they want to show these cars in Munich to the press, we can expect that our 'normal' cars will be even worse.

Ouch... can you please specify the "low quality"? Do you have any pictures? I have seen the US converted show cars and did not notice anything I didn't like.

The lack of QC is well documented on this forum. I've only seen one car in the metal personally and the quality (panel fit etc.) was very disappointing. I was really hoping that they'd addressed most of the issues by now but apparently not.
I can easily live with the all deliberate changes (lights etc.), but this is the one thing that is really making me aprehensive. Lack of QC shows contempt for the cusotmer in my opinion.

Sorry to hear for the alignment problems (same as US people referred) but don't expect perfect alignment and quality inspection such as Mercedes etc.
Sad to say, but don't forget we're talking about 30K $ car. It is not consider a special (hand made or premium car) .
At least, BEFORE accepting your car ask your local dealers to make a good inspection and alignments where necessary.

I did not make dedicated shots from misalignments, but just some zoom-in images from the pictures I took. Don't expect German car quality for sure, but the thing is that those issues have been reported already since the beginning and also the 3rd brake light / rear window issue I have seen on nearly all pictures (in this forum) and at most of the cars in Munich.

Considering that even Dacias seem to be well built these days, as are the other Fords, why can't the Mustang Builders get it right.
OK I know it's the same money as a mid range BMW 3 series but that's no reason for shoddy workmanship.
I have to say that with all this talk of bad QC and the car not looking the same as the US one, I'm starting to have second thoughts.
The journalists will be really slagging the car off if it's not put together properly.
Just seen those pictures, even my 2000 Grand Marquis was nowhere near as bad as that. Shocking.

Alfa Romeo is, since many years a FIAT brand, and FIAT was always considered low-quality-build cars.. but my Alfa Romeo never had one panel misaligned like that in these photos!

I will not accept a car that looks like this. Would go to court, no problem for me, I have legal protection insurance I pay for every month.
No way they can deliver such a mess to Germany, noone would accept it. I already talked to my dealer and told him to get everything right in the body shop before calling me to pick it up.
