What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

[hinch]

Decided to remove my front corner reflector black-outs (after 3 years they're in a pretty poor condition) which took 2 minutes. Then wasted 3 hours of my life getting all the f'ing sticky residue off! If only I was signed up to some sort of forum where I could have looked up or asked for advice in advance!!!

meths and a piece of kitchen roll done in under a minute

1) Brake duct kit in gloss black with mesh
2) Rockguards that i modified to fit a gt350 diffuser
3) Mishimoto aluminium charge pipes
4) Turbosmart dual port blow off valve kompact.
5) Swapped the DRLs out, put them into the tri bars in the headlights.

dropping mine off at ford for a new bonnet apparently its going to take them about 2 weeks to spray and fit a bonnet ! yet more alarm bells going off in head. i'll be delivering it to them with less than 5 miles of fuel in it a few other tricks to make sure nobody is going joy riding in it.

By that logic, shouldn't you update your profile to say 2019 GT? 2018 was just one year the car passed thru after being built in 2016 or 2017.

not in the uk we're basically a year behind you guys the backlog is that deep that although his was registered in 18 (hence the 18 plate) it was only built at the end of 17 / start of 18

Does sound odd. They only had mine for 3/4 days to paint/replace the bonnet.

finding a non shit dealer / garage in south yorkshire with knowledgeable staff .... you may as well be trying to find unicorn shit it'd be easier to find.

Are you sure about that? I thought the face-lift '18 models started production on October 2017, so '17 models would have been built prior to that (i.e. earlier than Oct 2017).

The dealer I've just picked mine back up from has a large bodyshop, but said they effectively weren't 'authorised' to work on aluminium. Maybe the 2 weeks is due to your dealer subcontracting the job out. Given that painting aluminium is clearly on the limits of the capability of the actual Ford factory, presumably it's not as straight forward as steel?
