In all her glory :headbang:

A list of issues the length of my arm but still can't wipe the smile from my face:)

It would have taken a stronger man than me to refuse the car!

Looks really nice, so much nicer to see a TY with FS without the ugly plate holder, two i've seen both had plate holders!

Hate to be the scrouge, what were the issues you've had?

Yeah, didn't like the brackets myself. Not sure how long the front plate will last. The 3M pads are peeling already! They said they couldn't make up a metal plate. Not a big deal - will fix it better later.

Issues - mostly minor, but a couple potentially not so minor. Noted the panel gap and paint issues with the dealer when inspecting (thanks for the checklist!), but only noticed the last few later. Here's the list so far:

OS front bumper/wing slightly misaligned
NS rear bumper/wing misaligned
Slight bonnet pinch (low in middle)
Paint "ridge" at two points on top edges of rear bumper

NS door mirror not correctly aligned for RHD car
NS window drops late when opening door
Occasional tinny rattling noise at low revs low speed
Car riding about 30mm higher at front than rear!

The window issue, press down about 5-10 times repeatedley (Once the window is fully down). Basically, pull down, then press down, release, press down, release, press down, release, repeat, then pull up, hold for 3 seconds until it clicks (Click happens after it connects with the top of the window) that should fix the window.

Misalignment is a bitch :(!

Regardless, minor, but still gorgeous car and you get to enjoy it!, glad the checklist was of use :).

Is there a fix for the NS mirror issue? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere there was but too tired to know at the moment. Mine is the same. Its in all the way and pretty much useless as a mirror.

if by NS you mean Drivers side, yes, it doesnt fold in as far as the passanger side, it's no fault, it's natural :). Unless, obviously its something different.

Nope, my driver side mirror is fine. The passenger one is the problem.

Turned fully in and it's not enough. If I move my head back or left slightly it still 'works' but a shorter driver would have serious problems with it.

Hmm very odd, im 6ft and have no issues with either of my mirrors, can see the rear corners of the car and plenty of road in them... maybe glass alignment... :/!

My nearside mirror is turned all the way - the edge of the glass is outside the mirror housing - but it works for me. I'm 5'11 but do sit a bit further forward than some might.

6' tall and passenger side mirror basically looks outwards too much. Looks like its calibrated for USA with a LHD mirror. Drivers side is fine though. Thankfully I can look over my shoulder for now that side.

I didn't manage any inspection today with the dealer due to raid so creating my snag list as I go and when I detail it at the weekend.

God, must suck when you have to look at a Mustang but have to make it back for a World of Warcraft 10-man raid ;)!

Lol. Can tell i'm tired. Haven't played that since last September :p

Clearly my keyboard skills are failing and I meant rain. Been an awful day of weather in Peterborough.
