What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

[GR11M]

the car parked next to you looks a lot closer than the length of the trolley jack handle

Oh I see, no the jack wasn't in use, I was just clearing everything away.

Rear Calipers and disks painted

So I took he front wheels off, cleaned up the alloys properly and sorted the lug nuts out as they were a bit rusty.
Painted the calipers Rosso red and got new decals on them.

Also ordered some alcantara type material to upgrade the interior a bit.

So my plate holder has four screws into the car, that's a tad excessive I'd say!

i've been looking into a rear plate that can be interchangeable for "show plates" wonder what you guys think i've seen a few options, like a surround that can open up to allow swapping of plates, used on trailers/caravans mainly on the rear, the front i'm going sto n sho soon so that can be easily made to be interchangeable, currently i've just stuck on the rear plate straight onto the bumper.

i think the Halfords one allows you to open it up to easily swap plates, its certainly hinged. I didn't want to remove my plate mount as I have no idea why it has 4 screws and how they are attached - knowing my luck i'd have unscrewed it and found I couldn't put it back. Sticky pads to the rescue

The way the screws go in literally screw up the bumper they leave a raised section as it's torqued down soo annoying.

I damaged my front bumper recently so when I take it in for a repair I'll get them to fill the plate holes in the front bumper too.

Swapped the Ford X-pipe for the Roush H-pipe, my initial observations are the cold starts are quieter, it's less raspy and more growly. I need to do some more driving but so far I prefer it.

I also need to do some more work on the tracking, the BMR camber links are longer to help reduce negative camber from lowered cars. My cars lowered but it seems not enough as currently my rear camber is +0.5° & +1.0° which is nowhere near -1.5°

After discovering an issue with the exhaust. I had a Mishimoto H-Pipe installed.

I was lucky JW Racing had some in stock

Especially big thanks to the guys at Modurstang, for installing it!
I'd happily recommend Modurstang.

Well as mentioned previously I had a 'little' bump in the pony. I came off at a track day and went through a fence... The fence came worse off lol. I cracked the fog light surround , lower bumper and splitter, fairly straightforward to repair. I'm lucky as all the lights came off undamaged.

However I noticed that my left headlight seemed dim so I had a look and the projector lens is loose and pointing to the floor, I tried seeing if the adjustment screw could pull it back but I'm guessing the impact broke some retaining screws for it, the question is, do I repair or just replace? Any suggestions welcome

Poor bugger Chappers, those sorts of things ruin a good track day..
Me personally would replace and keep away from fences...

I've pulled it all apart today and I managed to fix the headlight the auto leveller had pushed past the gears so pulled it apart and reset it and works properly now

Replaced my diff and transmission oil yesterday, gear changes already feeling smoother. Both the transmission and diff oil looked a bit dirty, the transmission oil had a few silvery specs in it too, not sure why you would wait 100k miles.
