The proper GT lower grill

[stevec]

Luckily the correct one arrived. 3 day turn around is amazing for Ford! Must have got the last one in stock then. Wonder why the link has disappeared too

Will you have it fitted before Goodwood Sunday Service?

Was going to fit today but the weather is a bit iffy. Tried fitting my air raid Cai but I'm missing a grommet and can't find one anywhere so had enough for one day!

You make it sound like a bumper off job is a walk in the park

Doesn't look too bad. Watched a good video this morning on how to do it

If it's bill, he makes everything look easy!! :lol:.

I watched a video of the bumper off for a Intercooler install, looked fairly simple, just bolts and clips really... But a bit time consuming.

Only time will tell for when I actually have that bumper off, whether it be for Lights, Intercooler, or I do an Ian ;)!

Ordered grille yesterday - email from Ford Parts UK today; 'Sorry, the grille is no longer available from Ford Motor Company. We will check with the US to see if they can help'.

So it's on the website, they'll take your money, but as has been the case with everything else, in the end all you get is disappointment. FFS how can it no longer be available?! .... they still make the f:censored:king things don't they!? Unbelievable.

Well credit where credit is due. Having pointed out/ranted about all the not so good things that have been happening, guess what?! A lower grille has just arrived by Parcelforce ..... and (shock!) it's the correct one!

I note that the parts coming from the 'Ford Parts UK' website are from 'Foray Motor Group'. I suspect they are some kind of offshoot of Ford or are they a completely separate company? Anyone know? Anyway, whether they sourced a part in the US (as they said they would try to do) or Germany (as per the stickers on the box) I'm not sure, but it was good service and hence I would use them again. Ford Motor Group, please take note!

Ordered one yesterday, seems to be back on their website. Their comma are good, I'm in no hurry, I'll wait till I've got a few more bits and pieces to fit then pop the front off to fit.

I notice they've stuck another £22 (50%!! :eyebulge on the price though.

Yeah, had to bite it though, still a lot cheaper and less hassle than getting one from the States.

They may have noticed a surge on them :lol:

Funny that we pay top dollar for our Mustangs then have to pay even more to get them to look like the US ones.

Still would like to know why they fitted the shitty lower grill for us Brits.

I hope Brits are getting them because they like them better rather than to make them look like a US model because, as noted before, a fully optioned US GT comes with the same lower grill as UK GTs have.
