Finally got the new wheels and tyres fitted today, drove 4 miles home. Don't know whether it's the placebo effect but it seems that the ride quality has really improved. Tpms light came on as I got home though.
Is there a method for resetting it ?

Cut the top side of my dust shields off (kept the lower to protect the bushings from any of the adverse heat that could occur), and installed the brake duct bracket that vents front my fog light delete kit.

Anymore pics of the fog light delete ?
Yep, so this is the kit (minus the brackets), this is the "Open" version which i put mesh on to match the car with, there's a funnel out back that scoops the air into those massive flexi-metal pipes which feed into the brake brackets.

Mine were obviously flatted and primed, however you can get them with "Oe texture" if you're meshing, and also "oe texture with honeycombe grille"

I was only looking at a couple of mustangs with these fitted at Modurstang’s open day yesterday, thinking that’s a nice mod!

Yours looks great.

Where did you source yours from as I like the OEM grill mesh look ?

Look forward to see the brake duct install pics for inspiration and guidance! :wink:

If you're on about the gap on the sides by the fogs they're for aero and go straight into the tyres, there's nothing else that directs it onto the brakes. These had invididual temp gauges mounted to monitor their reduction in temps around curborough (with them on and without them on), during the same track on the same car. Ther's a noticable difference.

@Alfa Male I got it from Dave Connell on FB he's made a whole load of kits (blue car in the photos above), the mesh is just from ebay and matches my grilles, i think i was the only one at Modurstang with the kit on (or atleast his kit as the other guys with them haven't installed yet)

no wasn't thinking of the front bumper vents was thinking of the front links on the gt have little fins on them that focus through put air into the brakes the EB doesn't have them.

Which links, got a picture?

All i know is these were tested on a GT (which would have had them) which also improved the heat reduction on them. (Which should in my eyes translate back to the EBs)

well the part numbers are different from eb to gt but they're identical parts apart from the fin as far as I can see so mis-fit of eb part to gt perhaps?
