I've been looking on and off at one for a while, a little more spur of the moment compared to other purchases but all being well next week this will be in my hands.

Always been set on magnetic grey, but after seeing a grabber blue in the flesh my mind was changed. That and the choice of waiting a week or anywhere from 4-6 months for a factory order...

Can't stand the custom pack chrome and given the choice have always spec'd the only 3 options available. (Sound system, headed/cooled seats, parking sensors) Low and behold for the first time in a while a showroom model actually coming with options you'd want!

Apologies for the awful photos, only had my phone and the showroom & bright sun combo. I think it comes out a slightly different shade in each. Certainly haven't seen too many others in the same shade yet.

The shopping basket has already been half filled with additions to it, but will my wallet has taken a big enough pounding this month. wink

Now just the matter of counting down the next week!

Grabber blue is the most stunning color on a mustang. I am sure you will be very happy with it.

That is very nice. Saw one on the road this week, so much road presence in that colour.

Totally lovely! cloud9

Been thinking of getting one to match my Focus - parked next to one recently to compare paint - Grabber is Nitrous but without the sparkle.

I like that a lot. And my son would like it even more.

A friend of mine, in Texas, has the 350R and it's an absolute weapon.

Nice. We had a 2016 GT convertible as a rental in California last summer, it was great fun and sounded fabulous as well as being a good cruiser for long distance stuff. Enjoy!

Is that Eastleigh Ford? If it is that car was there when I picked my Magnetic GT up on 1st March. There's another grabber locally based somewhere near J9 M27 as the guy works where I do. It certainly stands out from the crowd! Enjoy it, they are great fun.

Enjoy! Grabber Blue is one of those colours which can look different in different light; I ordered mine without seeing it first. Well, original spec was Magnetic, but then took some brave pills and altered the order to GB. I don't regret it for one second. And the attention it gets!

Here's mine,

Looks great, I really was not sold on the colour in the OP but in the other posts it looks fantastic.
These Mustangs are the first American car I've like for a very long time.
Get some more pics up!

Great car, I've one at the moment as a hire car out in the states and must say the lines of it are stunning. Took it on a sprited drive today through some mountain roads and have to say it didn't handle too bad at all
