What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

[SteveS]

What a way to spend a Saturday
I also applied the steering wheel crooked, which means the tracking is now correct. :lol:
Ford wanted £75 to do this. Screw that!

Was your tracking THAT far out?

Cheap wheel mod.
Think it would last for one wash only!

Are they black lug nuts or just covers you've got there Capitan?
I have black nuts but not considered what to do about the lock nut yet.

Alarmingly so. Holding the car straight on the Motorway you could see the bare plastic of the steering column on the right. Guesstimate a good 3~5 degrees.

EDIT:
Here's a picture for reference. I just pushed my new wheel to the right. This is how off it was.

They are covers from Ebay.

& you will need M22 stick-on neoprene washers for behind the lock nut cover:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251120204267?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Just use some insulating tape inside them to make them a tight fit - all stayed on after 4000 miles & a 'skelp' around Silverstone!!

Can't remember who posted this info originally, thot it was BigG or SteveC, but couldn't find it again - so big ups the original poster

Great :clap2:
I will take a night time pic to see how reflective it looks - it is quite a close match to race red

Looks good

Thanking you!

Fitted my Ford Performance catch can. Easy fit apart from releasing the wiring loom clip (as I think others have found). Felt like the plenum cover was pressing on the loom when refitted so I've just ground a small rebate in the cover to make sure it doesn't rub.

Half way through adding wheel spacers, black wheel nuts, gtechniq on wheels and mud flaps.

What mud flaps did you go with???

Think it was the RPI ones but not keen on backs. Think I'll leave for now.

Offically...and very reluctantly...put my 1967 Camaro 350 up for sale to finance the new car..will see what happens.. £44,495..

So can only visualize the New S550 for now..Lol ! although i have bought a couple of registrations already lol..!

Shame theyve disc the Comp Orange tho.. Toss up between Shadow Black and Magnetic Grey ...unless it sells really quickly and i find a cancelled order in Orange..Hmmmm??

Only got a black one at the moment I am afraid.
Thanks

I hit 1000 miles!

Then a bird pooped all over my car, we're talking back of the roof all the way to the front of the bonnet. :frusty:

So I went over the entire car with some Autoglym Fast Glass and G3 Detailer (I only washed it on Thursday so it didn't need doing again).

I've also been wheel shopping. I think I've settled on the Bola B3. I quickly photoshopped them onto a black Mustang and they look pretty darn awesome.

£795 without tyres. 19x9.5J

Might have to be a present to myself next year when my tyres need changing.

And finished.
