Ronaele or Cervini?

[97BlackC5]

I do like the Cervini look on the Ford Mustang, but can anyone tell me which is best or the pros / cons of each?

Are these cars easy to come by in the UK?

It's nasty plastic tat if you ask me, but to each his own. A lot of Mustang bodykits consist of bits stuck on with 3M tape that do absolutely nothing, quality and fitment is generally pretty good though if someone's taken their time with it. Cars fitted with kits do come up for sale occasionally, but most of the ones i've seen for sale have been V6's as for some reason, people like buying a V6 and fitting GT500 stuff or the most aggressive bodykit they can find. I know of a Cervini Mustang for sale in the Mustang owners club, i'll try and dig out a link for you. At the moment though, it seems like a lot of people are after V8 S197 Mustangs, so if you find a nice one at a good price then snap it up ASAP.

Doesn't have the Cervini/Ronaele kit, but this is much nicer in my book:

Here's the Cervini one I mentioned too:

It's not cheap, but it is a fair price considering it's low-mileage, manual, supercharged and has a big brake kit too on top of the Cervini bodykit.

Trust me, you need one with a supercharger

I'm surprised to hear Cervini product described as nasty, plastic tat.
This is a friend's Boss 302 with a Cervini ram-air hood. It is a genuinely nice upgrade that gives a pleasing nod to Mustangs past. My only reservation (and the sole reason I didn't by one for my 5.0 GT) is the weight of this item, being nearly twice as heavy (GRP vs aluminum) as the stock hood.

That's purely my personal taste, I did state that quality and fitment is good. I just don't understand the need for non-functional bits of expensive plastic that are stuck to the car with bits of tape, although I do know that there are plenty of people who love the OTT bodykits and 20" chrome wheels. That is a lovely hood though, I think Trufiber do a similar one, i'm after a replacement for my stock hood as the dreaded corrosion has started to rear it's ugly head.

Ronaele spec very rare. A little over priced IMO. Mine's is similar to this with the tru fibre hood which is almost to the cervini hood above. It's heavier but that's what superchargers are for (power!) and it doesn't suffer the usual corrosion problem on most s197 stock hoods that eventually catches up with you.

Sorry Matt, but that hood is awful.

Diff'rent strokes, I guess. I like it - just too hefty.

Can't stand cervini personally, just looks like the tat you'd see in max power 20 years ago.

Which is what makes the world go round.

Ronaele = Eleanor spelt backwards for those that aren't aware, that's the reason for the silly name, to get round the movie copyright and all that nonsense. How on earth is it even pronounced?

To add to the confusion, Atlantic Sports cars converted quite a few from new in the UK and called them 'ASC dominators'
