The same could be said of my Guard Grey, but the Bullitt connection makes that work for me :-)
There was a Guard coupe on display in Hull at the weekend, euro spec GT, I saw it at the Hull motor show on Sunday. I don't think you will be disappointed with the colour, but not sure about the Bullitt connection, it's far more grey than Dark Green like the movie car
Thanks for sharing this. I actually found a good link which gives a run through of the colours here too: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/2015-mustang-best-favorite-color-1664572837

If my car looks like this I will be veryy happy:


Has the chrome window surround too, which I was not sure about, but like it here.

If only we had those wheels as an option, SO much better than the ones we're getting ..... frown I guess they took the view that 20" and very low profiles on our well maintained and billiard table smooth road surfaces (!!) would have left us all in need of a visit to the chiropractors! biggrin

You lucky buggers, if you've ordered one!

I had one for a week just now and was so very impressed with it! So much so I'm thinking of chopping in my e92 for one now. I'm totally sold on it.

I had the 3.7 v6 which was lovely. I can only the v8 is great!

it felt very well built, handled great and was stunning to look at.

My order is not UCL. I placed my order on 22/01/2015 and since last week the Vista screen for my order has updated with a VIN and Est. Prod Date: 14-SEP-2015 and ETA to Dealer WE: 28-NOV-2015. There is basic info about the car on ETIS and no window sticker. I consider all information as not reliable.
Yes, same here - no window sticker yet. Apparently they are supposed to appear around 2 weeks before the car gets built so from that I'm assuming my guess about the 14th being more like a 'week beginning' build estimate is probably correct (or perhaps the date could just mean 'anytime after the 14th'!). Using the 'week beginning' logic the latest I should get a window sticker is by the end of this week - but that is very much guesswork on my part so I have zero expectation ..... but it's nice to speculate. Passes the time until delivery - whenever that may be! smile
Still no sign of a window sticker, so if the '2 weeks before build' is correct it looks like the car won't be built on the 14th or even in the week beginning the 14th.

Also, I hear rumours that Ford are now claiming they've always said it could be up to 20 weeks for delivery .... which quite frankly would be taking the fcensoreding pcensoredss on SO many levels. Could be another nail in the coffin of my Mustang order if true.

I thought the window sticker was only available as the build actually gets started.

I thought it was available not long after the VIN was supplied, certainly before the build starts .... maybe it's less than 2 weeks before then .... or maybe I've got it completely wrong, it has been known! biggrin

The Window Sticker came live 5 days before mine was built (12th August) (UCL Car)

May be a stupid question but how do you get to know about the window sticker - by asking the dealer or can you login some where to check the progress of your car?

When you get a VIN add it to the end of this web address, then paste it into your browser ....

'http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin='

The VIN you get from your dealer may be missing a prefix (which is '1FA6P8') that you will also need to add.

Cheers .....

Over on Mustang6g the head of Ford has become a member and has offered his email address.

Can't do a link now but it's in the UK section under the thread Now I'm Really Pissed.
