UK modification & tuner shops

[2021 Mach 1]

Who are the most reputable Mustang tuners & mod shops in the UK? I know some modify cars cosmetically, but I'm focused on performance modifiers. So far, I've heard of the following:

Modurstang
Clive Sutton
MAP-Motorsport and Performance
Hendy Performance
GT101
Puma Build
American Muscle UK

Perfect Touch?

Any others? Cheers

Depends upon what you want. I have heard of most of those but the only one I have used is GT101 in Colchester Essex. Top guys with excellent coffee and the only people I trust with my Car.

I have heard of good service on a few of the others but have never used so cant comment upon.

What bits are you after as this may dictate upon where you need to go. I know that GT 101 can do pretty much most things Mustang related.

TBH, I only recently got my car and for the moment I'm not going to do anything. However, I want to do my research because perhaps in a year or two I'd like to make some modifications. My interest would be increased performance, but strictly for road use. I have no desire to track the car. Also, reliability is very important to me. So maybe I could look at new headers, custom tuning, super charger, etc. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Cheers.

Sorry mate, another question, what work did you have GT101 do and what kind of warranty do they offer? I see some of the U.S. Ford dealers are offering brand new Stage 1 super charged cars with 3 year warranties. Cheers.

it really depends upon where you live in the UK? personally i will always recommend Motorsport and Performance as they have a fantastic set of performance skills, great people and totally reliable... but also they are in the North of England, which is where I am based.

Similar question, what work did you have MAP perform and what is their warranty on the work? Cheers.

so - i have had the suspension uprated (mainly steeda parts - IRS base kit, bushes etc etc and alignment, and cosmetic mods lowering - springs, spacers etc)

also had a steeda closed air intake plus tune (MAP have their own dyno and take massive care, attention and time on the tuning) - the tune added significant power and performance

I am about to have either Kooks or ARH headers fitted too (with a re-tune obviously)

Apart from that - they also fitted exhaust parts (H pipe etc) and serviced it

MAP are renowned for the care and attention that they take with every Mustang - each job / part will come with its own guarantees. That said - I know that if there is an issue they will use all reasonable effort to replace/ repair in any case

MAP are well known for fitting either Whipple or centrifugal superchargers if supercharging is your preference (I am staying NA for now)

that said - i know that Mike at Modurstang and GT101 have very good reputations in their respective geographical locations too

i went to American Muscle near Edinburgh Tuesday gone for some work and advice. Nice collection of cars in the workshop and chatting gave the impression any work would be carried out just so. I'll be taking my car there for pretty much everything from now on esp for the oil cooler fix before my warranty runs out. Again, as someone said, depends where you are in the UK and how far you will travel, or combine trips as to where suits.

I bought my car new in 2016. When it was 6 months old GT101 fitted Roush Axle backs and a Silver header tank. The following year they fitted some Eibach Springs. Since then they have serviced the car in 2020 and 2021.

At the moment I have no other plans (or money) for any Mods.

I know that GT101 have fitted Loads of Whipple Superchargers, I also know that they can supply and fit a range of items from various suppliers like Wheels, Suspension, Exhaust, Superchargers, Body Parts - TBH I dont think there is a item that they cannot supply and fit - come the time you need them they can if you desire sort you out.

Regarding warranty, TBH I have no idea as everything they have done has been spot on and I have not needed to go back and ask.

They sound absolutely brilliant. Definitely worth a call. I wondering if anybody in the UK will three year warranty a stage 1 Whipple like some of the American Ford Dealers are doing.

The Kooks headers seem like a very good upgrade. I'm just wondering if anybody in the UK will three year warranty a stage 1 Whipple like the US dealers are doing.

I think they would have a que out of the door and down the road if they did … !

I think the US warranty starts with the car warranty i.e. bolt it on at two years, get one rear warranty etc (just an example)

That's a good point. So let me rephrase my question. How many UK mod shops offer warranties that are as long as the remaining Ford Factory Warranty?

I don't think I have seen that in the UK - but that's not to say its not out there or that one of the shops couldn't be negotiated with on a individual case by case basis (i.e. most things are possible if the price is right)

by the time you pay for Ford to fit the parts to keep your warranty, you can pay someone else to do the job (likely far better fit and finish rather than the dealership work through the manual never done this in real life before) and the money you save put towards fixing stuff down the road if it blows. End of the day, you fit something like a supercharger or turbo kit to an engine that didn't come with it as stock, expect it to pop sooner than stock especially as you'll be driving the car harder
