UK GT - Front Pony light disabled

[ack154]

Our GTs have a different front grille and don’t have the light up pony itself. I have bought both (getting old grille off isn’t easy!) wiring isn’t too hard but still working on getting the programming to work. Pics of the two grilles showing the difference.

Random related question: were you able to get the grille off without pulling the bumper off? If so, how? Or did you end up pulling the bumper?

My GT grille is cracked (and I have a replacement) but I've just dreaded pulling the bumper as a total PITA. Though I would like to get the replacement covered in PPF first to prevent this problem in the future.

I had my garage do it. They undid a lot of rivets but not the whole bumper they said (if that helps?)

I did project just like it - adding illuminated logo to European GT. That is how:

It's a legal requirement. You'll note the full width light bar VWs don't have illuminated emblems, there's a ruddy hole in the middle of the light bar where the VW logo should glow.

This isn't Ford's fault.

Just passed a Vauxhall with the width light bar AND Griffin emblem in centre lit up!

If anyone in the UK genuinely does want the light up front Pony, I have a spare (new) front US grill and refurbed original Ford mustang unit for sale. I had them fitted and programmed by a place in North London for a reasonable cost.
