What after market 'upgrades' for the S550?
Discussion
These guys will be worth keeping an eye on. Some proper know how. They have ordered a RHD car to fit some demo mods e.g. Whipple supercharger kit along with Magnaflow exhaust and KW suspension.

Hi there
Is it bad I've already ordered and taken delivery of some of my modifications?
My plans for my Magnetic V8 GT PP Manual are:
[U]ENGINE / EXHAUST[/U]
Steeda cold air intake with restrictor (no tune), will maybe add tune later
Corsa Sport 3" catback system with 4.5" polished tips
Oil pump upgrade (preparation for supercharger)
Whipple 2.9l supercharger kit, after 12 months ownership
[u]SUSPENSION[/u]
Ford Racing Mustang GT Handling Kit (Dampers, Springs, Sway Bars etc)
BMR Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit (CB005)
BMR Toe Rods, Double adjustable rod ends
BMR Vertical links lower control arms, Delrin/Spherical
?Steeda IRS Subframe bushing support system (Does CB005 perform this task)
?Steeda Adjustable Differential bushing support system (Does CB005 perform this task)
?Steeda IRS Subframe alignment kit (Does CB005 perform this task)
?Steeda Mustang Rear IRS Subframe Support braces (Does CB005 perform this task)
Steeda Extreme G-Trac K-Member brace
[u]DRIVELINE[/u]
Steeda Shifter base bushing bracket kit
Steeda MT-82 Transmission Mount bushing insert
[u]INTERIOR[/u]
Shelby GT350 Steering Wheel
50th Anniversary white Shift knob
Ford Racing Black Shift knob
Diode Dynamics Interior LED Conversion kit
Steeda Mustang Hood strut kit
[u]EXTERIOR[/u]
25mm front wheel spacers
23mm rear wheel spacers
Ford Mustang Decal Kit - Speed Stripe Black
Tint (medium) for rear tail lights
Spent a lot of time researching and still not decided on certain things yet but cannot wait to take delivery, will drive it for a week or two completely standard, then start putting my parts on one by one. Exhaust, Wheel spacers, suspension bits etc.
???Question mark in front of some the Steeda items under Suspension is because I am unsure if BMR Lockout Cradle CB005 performs this function as BMR state their one part performs the same function as several parts from their competition, aka Steeda, so would be good to know for sure. I don't want to be buying Steeda parts if CB005 is performing that function......

Just fitted the decklid, as you will see from Gibbo's thread it looks much better (in my opinion) that the GT badge
And the sports exhaust (Ford Racing by Borla) which sounds sooooo much better than the stock one. It has a nice growl to it when accelerating, but is actually quite quiet when cruising at motorway speeds.
The Ford garage fitted both for £90 all in which I didn't think was too bad at all. The boys in the workshop where very happy with the exhaust note

My car is due in the next 1-2 weeks, it landed in Southampton last Monday.
I spoke to the sales guy about mods and maintaining the warranty but he wasn't very clear, he just said they'd prefer not to void warranties but didn't clarify what I could and couldn't do.
I want to change the exhaust and induction and a few other little bits.
