Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Congrats Chris, awesome colour! You mentioned the exhaust, the most popular option we sell for the Mustang is the Ford performance active system with the quad valance, see here: https://www.torqen.uk/ford/mustang-2015/exhausts/exhaust-systems/13978-mustang-2015-ford-performance-304-ss-active-cat-back-exhaust-system-with-quad-rear-exit-m-5200-m8.html The Roush gearknob is also a very popular mod: https://www.torqen.uk/ford/mustang-2015/body-styling/gear-knobs/4306-mustang-2015-roush-gear-shift-knob-black-421906421907.html Enjoy your new car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 So glad you managed to back out of the Audi, the 'Stang looks so so good!! especially in that colour! For the stripes I'd definitely go gloss black. I think the fake carbon wrap is too overdone these days. Especially on a real deal car like a mustang. This isn't a cheapy Civic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 What are people’s thoughts on wheel and tyre insurance? Ford are offering me this for 3 years for £250. I can make something like up to 10 claims for wheel refurbishment and the same again for new tyres within that period if they’re damaged. Sounds like a good price, but I’m not sure if it’s worthwhile or not. In fairness though with the gloss black alloys and the style of the spokes I can see them being kerb magnets. What at would you guys do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tyre damage is included in this, things like blowouts and punctures? If yes, then I'd say it's worth it. I went over a very small piece of pipe in the Nismo and the rear tyre blew out instantly. No damage to the car/alloy, but a new tyre was £260. So worth £250 all day long. Also, one of mine has curb damage (misses avoiding a cat), which will cost me circa £200 to put right.

GreenLandy Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 For £250, I'd be biting their hand off. A decent refurb, as has been mentioned, will cost that. Looks great though, glad you could bin the audi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well, it's been a long week but the wait is almost over... just 2 more sleeps to go! This is probably my favourite part of getting a new car to be honest... I pick the Mustang up on Monday night after work. I hope this beast from the east pt 2 has thawed out by then.

What at would you guys do? All depends on how clumsy you are with your wheels. Between me and the Mrs we have only had one alloy kerbed in the last 5 years that I can remember and I've never had any tyre defects or blow outs in even longer on any of our cars. So for us i'd say no but some people love a bit of kerb rash and seem to be unlucky with blow outs. Have you kerbed your alloys consistently over the years? if so then go for it, you will have piece of mind for a few years.

My Dads got a similar thing on his BMW M235i and he's made 3 claims so far in maybe 1.5 years, ...it's not something I'd get myself but if you can afford it then it seems like a good thing to have especially if you're worried about the alloys. Seems like a fair price for what it covers. The Mustang looks awesome btw and can't wait to see some pics of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I decided to go for the insurance in the end. With the gloss black rims, the slightest kerb mark is going to show up prominently, so I wanted that piece of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Well, i've had the car for 6 days. Absolutely loving it so far. Every time I look at it I get a big grin on my face like a child. It's getting an awful lot of attention - i've literally lip read 2 separate people pointing and saying 'Mustang'! I washed and waxed it today with Dodo Juice Purple Hays which I had from back in the day. Also clayed and waxed the RRS with some cheap spray on stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I used to think the Range Rover had road presence......but that Mustang looks like a beast. A friend of mine has a stage 3 tuned R35 as a weekend toy and just bought a new white Mustang convertible a few months back as his DAILY He's loving it too. So much so, the gtr is staying at home tomorrow and he's taking the Mustang to the Supercars NW meet instead!

My first 350z was an auto import actually. Just looking at these pictures, they're not even close to doing the colour justice. It's quite a bit darker in person, and the quality is great - it looks like it's had about 100 coats of paint on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
