My first mods on the 08 Stang in Switzerland
Hi folks
I was thinking about modding my Stang long before I got one. Now my first mods are ready:
Painted mirrors.
HID Headlight cleaning system. This is necessary to use HID in Europe so we had to install it.
White Sidemarkers. Nice glowing color I think.
In general I like the Stang as it is but I just want to "improve" some minor flaws which distinct the Stang from the more luxury cars here. A stang is something very special in Europe and everyone thinks it costs like a Porsche or a Corvette, some people even consider it as a Ferrari because of the horse.
So I like to tune my stang into an original but more precious looking car. No spoilers, no hood scoop, side louvres, lowering, and that standard tuning stuff. Just a more exclusive stock stang.
More Mods to come soon...

Looking good Bjoren!!!
Who's HID system did you go with. And what is that brick looking thing laying on the garage floor? And why do you need squirters to clean your HID headlights?
Sorry for all the questions...I am just curious.

Great pix and a beautiful car. [I'd wondered what bugged me more about the stock mirrors: their "not-very-retro" shape or the dull black finish.] The mirrors look great painted. I love the look of your car; clean, not busy. The polished wheels and clear indicator lenses look great with the blue paint. Classy.

Hi Ralle, the world is so small isn't it? 
You know I might still go with the Borlas...just awesome.
@andy
No lowering, no standard Bullitts and of course no stripes!
Though I've ordered something very special for upgrading the wheels. Two weeks...

BUT, if you install the GTA muffler off the rental car you would be OK.
Also think they are also on the Shelby GT and SOUND WAY better then stock.

I'm taking my Mustang back to Salzburg Austria next year that's why I'm getting everything done on the car now, if the car enters "as is" most of the time you're ok.
