Hello. Just dropping by to say hi and stuff. Had my Torch Red '05 GT for 3 years now and have done a few minor mods, the most obvious being today's extra dose of blackness...

Just wanted to show her off really!

Welcome!! I hear Mustangs are decently popular in Europe, I guess if Richard Hammond gives it a good review it's destined to sell.

Judging from the reflection in the window I don't think this particular model is, however it would be interesting to know if there are RHD Mustangs running around in the world.

This is a left hooker. There are a couple of companies who do a right hand conversion but they're not that good (apparently) and there's some doubt about legality etc.

I love being on the left and driving on the right - you're right up close to the person you're overtaking (we have to pass on the right here in the UK) so they can see you winking or flipping the bird far more clearly!

Seems wrong to change it anyway....

Couple more pics.

And its not a paint job. Its wrapped in Matt and gloss vinyl. Just peels off when I'm bored of it! Supposedly. Guess I'll see how good the paint is when I do!

Its actually glossy all over, but since there's never any sunshine in the UK, he never really gets to appreciate it.

Welcome to the board man.

So I guess sequential tails are out of the question for you lol, aren't you supposed to have some kind of fog light or something of that sort under your rear bumper?

Fogs and reverse and UK 'indicator' lights (legal requiremets) are all built into my tail light conversions. None of those nasty hanging fogs you see on other shoddy UK/Euro setups for me!
