I was stepping away from this thread as I'm annoyed with my dealer/lack of progress but great to see the pics. 'Shadow' black...did they change the name of Absolute Black as that is what I ordered but I don't see it as an option now.
I believe they did. My dealer said Shaddow black is "black black". As if black wasn't black already! confused

Hope you've only ordered axel or catback exhaust, after seeing the header modification required due to the steering column a full system just won't fit.
Of course not, spent hours if not days researching. smile

I just ordered a Roush Axle-Back exhaust system from CJ Pony Parts in the states. Hope it fits! From watching the video you simply cut the pipe on the standard exhaust and fit the Roush so it should be ok.

It was £460 inc delivery. Not sure what taxes will be but ill update when i receive.

They have changed the Black, I have a bonnet (Hood) from a 2015 S550 which is a solid paint, whereas the 2016 Shadow Black is metalic ( in reality it is more pearl than metalic )

My race re V8 is arriving in Jan, thinking of selling it if anyone is interested, and if the price is right. It's got the custom pack, auto, ebony leather.
Top lurking!

Mine has premium marketing trim according to my VIN.

I dread the idea of anything wrong when it finally turns up as refusing it will mean waiting another year.

Why are you looking to sell?

Plenty of threads about the new Mustang, especially since the prices were published but who has actually ordered one and what they've been
told?

Me, I stuck a grand down yesterday and was told that I would get the car before the end of this year. Apart from a ref number I have heard nothing since, not even an email.

V8 Fastback manual, competition orange no extras.
Please share you real review if you order one . I love Mustangs too smile

Not sure how anyone can be fed up with the wait, when I ordered (in Jan) it was always end of the year - not early Feb or May. So anyone who cant handle the wait needs to man up, now we know they are on the way, I am a bit puzzled why my car was built early Oct but not on a ship yet but I wont kill the cat over it.

All the champions league ones were told Oct 15, missed that deadline then. I'm fed up of being fed bulls**t excuses by Ford, car sat for 6 weeks at flat rock between coming off the production line on 4th August & going to the upfitters to be finished. Nobody could tell me why it took that long. Now nobody can tell me if my car is at Zeebrugge, it should be as it was on the Eurasian Highway which docked there on 4th Nov, apparently Ford have no way of telling if a few hundred thousand quids worth of cars were off loaded, really? Are they honestly saying there's no tracking on their shipments? If not I may as well take a ferry to Belgium now and collect it, they'll never notice.

You lot should try looking it at from the dealers point of view.

It's a brand new car being launched here for the first time. It's way outside of the vehicle profile they normally sell.

Ford have, so far, been more forthcoming with information, VIN and ETIS etc., than you'd get from pretty much any other mainstream manufacturers.

Yet all we get is people moaning about where their one car is. One in tens of thousands.

Would that be this one then?

Bit more than 'thinking of selling' if it is.

For that price I'd have a US spec LHD convertible.
