I'll do that but if it's part of their schedule to fit the brackets they probably already did so. Do you have an address that might get through?

Send it to your sales person, call them up and ask for their email. If things go bad later then it is confirmed in writing.

This from a Ford facebook pm 26 November after I asked for assurance no plates would be attached ...... hopefully they stay with this decision. I have everything in writing requesting of the dealership and Ford to NOT attach license plate mounting.
Hi Greg, the mounting brackets you see above are identical to what our Mustangs will receive.
However the rear won't necessarily have a bracket because it’s not required – a number plate can be mounted directly to the bumper fascia.
As for the front bracket, it is supplied ex-factory as standard, and can accommodate number plates of varying dimensions, reflecting the Mustang as a world car. The discretion is always with a Dealership and ultimately the Mustang customer whether to use them or not.
Plates can be mounted directly on front fascia / bumper.
Thanks, ^JS.

I would bet my bottom dollar that Tom Elliot's car is not one of the ones that arrived on the Parsifal on the 2/12/15 but much more likely to be one of the Ford Au evaluation vehicles and it's delivery was orchestrated to coincide with the arrival of the Mustangs in Australia for maximal publicity value. Maybe he has to give it back when his 'real' car is delivered to him (whenever that occurs)??????????????????

Quite likely. In the world of spin anything is possible.

More conversation with Ford. Apparently some cars will be sent from the first batch with brackets attached (non specific how many). They will go out to the dealers with a bracket removal tool and drilling is not done or minimal. That's the best info I could get from Ford customer service.
Getting excited now - could be cruisin' the local boulevards Saturday arvo!

Ian given Ford have stopped moving the goal posts and just removed them from the ground ... anything is possible.
I wondered some time ago whether given Ford pushed the official release out to January whether that would impact our deliveries. At the moment it seems highly possible that was always the agenda. Unless you work for 3AW of cause.

Your mustang will only go to the upfitter if there is a problem with it that could not be rectified on the production line.Otherwise it will exit factory and await railcar transport to port. It could be there a few days before train rolls.Etis updated 2 days ago got the full list now my stang's probably going for upfitter

John to add to your update ..... a pm just received from Ford Facebook guys which is counter to what they told me last month <sigh>. Does anyone at Ford Australia know WTF they are doing ? Not a criticism, just an observation :lol: If my front bumper has holes in it ... it'll be game on !!!
Hi Greg, the QA performed by Ford Australia on the Parisfal vehicles would be done from a manufacturing perspective, and not a retail perspective.
You will find your Dealership as a business will do a pre-delivery on the vehicle as they have certain responsibilities to their customers and so will have checklists of their own.
Have a chat to your selling Dealership as you may be lucky enough to pick it up on the day it arrives by truck!
As for the black brackets, they are fitted in the US but I’m sure your Dealer will be able to remove them if requested.
Thanks, ^JS
