The plastic "diaper" and other plastic on the 2011 actually looks really good if you get it painted!!! I love it

 

Paul, that GT500 interior is basically the current 300A/400A interior. Seats look real similar. I wouldn't mind adding some color, maybe dark gray or silver inserts.

 

D'oh, thanks Steve. I obviously need to read up on the latest specs.....I didn't realise those were available! Seems all the 2010s/11s in the UK have been specced with black interiors, some with the odd single blue or cashmere stripe

 

Something that would be very useful for Mustangs (unofficially) imported into the UK would be turn signals built into the wing mirrors.....but I won't hold my breath.

This is the neatest modification I've seen yet.....but it's not cheap

 

Nicely "smoothed out" rear end. Shows what's possible without sheet metal changes

 

Wow i really like that actually, where was this at?

 

Photo shamelessly stolen from another thread on here. The car is at the Detroit Motorama

 

That rear end is **** nice. What thread was that from if you remember? I can't find any info on it anywhere.

 

I think I like the first of those better.

 

That is PRECISELY what I'd do for a minor refresh: change the tail lights to a rectangular-ish shape and maybe some little changes inside.

 

Sorry to get off track, but if I had to guess, I'd wager that the exterior design of the next car hasn't been finalized yet.

We never had two-stage heated seats. They were in a couple of the teaser pictures leading up to the 2010 reveal, but they apparently got left on the cutting room floor, as none of the production (or pre-production, for that matter) cars had them.

Do not particularly want.

This. Since the 6R80 seems to be a rebadged ZF transmission (the ratios are the same as the ZF 6-speed), I don't why Ford couldn't add a SelectShift function to it. Use the gate from the Fusion Sport, but with the manual gate oriented towards the driver instead of the passenger. I know Ford has rev matching downshift software/code in the SHO, so I don't see why it couldn't come over to the Mustang, along with adaptive shift logic, which is used in several other cars, including the Camaro and Challenger.

That was one of Car & Driver's gripes with the new Focus, the button on the shifter, and that car has a DCT. I honestly do not understand why Ford (and GM) went that route; it seems really silly. I'm not sure we're going to see DCT's in the Mustang in 2014/15, though; high torque dual clutch transmissions are still pretty new and expensive (ask any Porsche 911 Turbo owner).

 

I know where they were from, but I think that it's silly to not have them. Plenty of other Ford vehicles use a dual-stage heat element, and the Mustang should follow suit. I'd expect there's an existing solution already available in the family somewhere.

 

Agree with you on that one, is that a conversion kit that's available to the general public ? And if so how much does a kit like that go for.

 

I know that Mustangs sold in the Japanese market have mirrors with integrated turn signals.

 

No argument here.

 

That's a conversion done in the UK.....it costs almost £2k, but also includes LED amendments to the front and rear lights too (rear amber turn signal plus front "side" light).
