Nice one Yeah Nah.......those tail lights really make it a bland looking car. A friend at work said his father in law has ordered a white gt vert. I hope he doesnt expect anything flashy.
I assume that is a preproduction car that Ford is testing....

Still very puzzled by the white tail lights. No Euro car has them apart from small Vauxhalls modded by 18 year olds.

Have to agree Bob the tail lights with the white duco really makes it looks bland.

Apologies to those that have ordered similar.

I'm puzzled as to why it's parked in a crapy driveway (with matching crapy lawn)!

More than any other variation from the US original, the white tail lights are the biggest dissapointment in an otherwise superb car.
And the most difficult to remedy.

Completely agree.

It has been said that the UK/Euro/AUS Mustang had to be homologated to be acceptable to every country yet I know of no country that insists on white tail lights.

There won't be any country specifying white lights - it'll be for them to flash amber when indicating. Ford were obviously unable or too tight to engineer the red lights to do this.

Are the rear lights one piece? as that would explain why they didn't make all or part of the outer light amber.

Sequential indicators in the case of the Mustang most likely would contravene the ADR requirements as you can't see the brake light(s) on that side at the same time as the sequential indicator.

I don't think it looks that bad at all haha

The simplest way to make them red will be to put the transparent red stickers on them, similar to the smoked ones they have in the USA

I'm sure someone will do Red if you ask them nicely.

Hey Sydneysiders - keep an eye out on a Guard GT that my boss is convinced he saw in Sydney.

At first I didn't believe him, but now that I have seen this...
