Thank you all for your wishes!!! MTAS, I ordered a extra set of oem rear lights to change them into Led's. Vega, the customs will charge me 10% and add 16% sales tax. Hugle, yes we need a front plate in Germany :notnice: and Wombert made a perfect chop Evil_Capri you will see here some Autobahn pics soon . Hope that all others will see their new Mustangs soon and than have a dance !!!

Where do you live, peter? Who's doing all the paperwork for you (can you say TÃœV... you need special arrangements for almost everything, from emission certificates to a licence for the missing headlights distance controls)? And how exactly did you solve the amber turn light issue now?

David, I live outside from Munich. All Paperwork is finished and prepared from a company in Hagen. They also solve the amber turn light problem at the moment but for me I prefer the change into LED's and for this I have a extra set of rear lights for modification.

So did they just replace the bulb with a yellow/amber one?

And do you have to get the car through TÃœV and ASU anyway? AFAIK, you don't even need to do that with new cars, you automatically get TÃœV and ASU approvals on delivery for two years. But I don't know if that's only the case for cars sold in Germany, or also for imports?

Congratulations, what did you pay for the air transport?

BTW- there have been already 2 2005 Mustang prototype bodies in Europe long time ago for testing fitment of certain items during installation. Unfortunately they got crashed later on.

You are right, thats the white baby About the air costs, its about 3k from Chicago, but in my way Ford made a wrong transport. They routed the car to the dealer to San Diego. This is much more expensive. The reaction here in Munich. Oh my God. I cannot describe!!!! From kids on the streets you only hear a loud wooooouw and !!!! Others don t believe their eyes, others a shocked about the awesome styling and great quality from a US Ford and and and... The best offer was about 50k (Euro) for the car!!! Magazines are calling and want some comments about the car and people who know me want to see the new Mustang live and also don t believe their eyes. The car runs great and I have found no defects right now. What a awesome car. Ford, you have build a big winner!!!! even for Europe !!!!!
