The 2013 Shelby GT500 is an immense bit of kit and at ShipMyCar we have developed a unique IVA modification package to ensure the car keeps its original looks

In this article we will be discussing the rear light clusters which are made up of many tiny LED’s and a control module integrated into the clusters

For anybody thinking of shipping a GT500 to the UK we strongly advise against carrying out the below work on your car unless you are a trained IVA engineer. Our engineers are experienced in all makes/models of US vehicles shipped to the UK

The best way to modify a car shipped to the UK for the IVA test is to ensure modifications are carried out how they would have been in the factory, and ensuring no additional load is placed upon the sensitive electronics

We take apart the rear light clusters, dismantle each light control board and painstakingly replace each individual LED with the correct colour and intensity for UK road usage:

We have now carried out IVA lighting modifications on a number of 2013 MY Mustangs, including the Shelby GT500 and Boss models:

We have developed a superior method of modifying the 2013+ Mustang / Shelby / Boss rear lights to ensure the car looks completely factory finish yet complies with UK road rules and IVA test criteria. We do this by painstakingly removing all the tiny board mounted red LED’s in the rear light clusters and replacing them with amber ones to shine through the existing red lens clusters. We also use our in-house developed light control module to ensure circuits are changed to separate the brake feed in the safest possible way

The side repeaters are very carefully wired into the wing mirrors with zero visible wiring and tiny LED’s that are virtually invisible when not flashing but very bright when they are

The below video shows how we convert the 2013 Mustang rear lights for UK use and IVA test compliance

At the front of the car we take apart the headlights to remove the kick from the beam:

Shipping a Shelby GT500 to the UK

We specialise in Mustangs and carry out any IVA modifications using our inhouse developed Lighting Control Unit which safely powers the additional lighting required without any damage to ECU or other SJB’s.

For 2005-2009 we can replace the entire rear light cluster with a sealed European lighting unit and for 2010+ we can utilise LED’s to ensure an invisible IVA conversion

We were recently very grateful to be sent this video from a customer of ours who we shipped a beautiful Shelby GT500 in orange back to the UK for them.

This is a great way to check out some truly fantastic cars, and of course the Mustang Club’s amazing video talent! It’s astonishing to see how much they can accomplish in such a short time, and the video is riveting for those who love watching a Mustang in action.

If you’ve not seen the video yet, then this won’t take up much of your time – you can get right back to filling out your car breakdown cover forms or playing Gran Turismo in a few minutes. Then again, you might just spend the evening watching it over and over and tweeting about it, so you never know! So kick back, put the lights off, and watch the Polish Mustang Club’s best ever video production.

The new GT500 Supersnake by Shelby features a Whipple Supercharger generating 750bhp

As the last lot of supersnakes we imported into the UK, the new ones seems just as incredibly quick and frightening to drive quickly:

Our Mustang on Top Gear https://www.shipmycar.co.uk/our-mustang-on-top-gear/ Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:11:58 +0000 http://www.shipmycar.co.uk/?p=536 Roush Mustang on BBC Top Gear

A couple of years back we let BBC Top Gear borrow one of our Roush Stage 3 Mustangs – The Stig gave it a good thrashing round the track and Clarkson even said it was a “properly good car” – quite the compliment for an American car!

Watch the video here:

Here is a sneaky shot we got of the Stig with the car after the track drive:

Unfortunately on the show they stated the Roush was £10k more than the Shelby when in fact they are actually cheaper than the Shelby, but nevertheless, a great day out!

The Roush was fine to drive back to our ShipMyCar offices afterwards – brakes were a bit on the spongy side but generally all was OK considering the thrashing it was given
