ST3 8.5 order colour & options?

[g40steve]

What colour & options would you go for?

Trying to limit delays re shortages of chips etc.

Thinking Red or White, with spare wheel (hate foam) & the heated seats & steering wheel

I've read that order books for 2022 are closed.

Might be better looking for a car already at a dealers - Evans Halshaw seem to have a few.

Given the minor differences, I'd pick up a low mileage Mk8 Performance Edition or ST Edition. From what I've read you'll lose the folding mirrors, puddle lights and one touch windows on the 8.5 regardless of spec.

Been told delivery Aug 22 ??

Last I saw was that 3 doors, ST2 spec, Pano roof, Beuatiful Berry and Boundless Blue had been removed - unless the order was in before 17 Feb.

Some people in Ford groups have been reported that order books were closed - if you can get one for August, go for it!

Ford put the price up £150 today

Added the spare wheel option as well,

It’s landed, should be with me end of next week.
Took the drive the deal offer that pushed me towards the hp for 3 years, to get the contribution from manufacturer. Am I correct in thinking I have 14 days from delivery to payoff car in full to save the financial charges?

Anyone know the part numbers for front & rear flap?
None of the one in the accessories catalogue come close to fitting due to side skirts & the new rear diffuser

You have answered your own question there.
Official Ford mud flaps do not exist for the ST...rally style flaps are your only option.
Rally Armor is a quality manufacturer.

Although for the Mk8, FINIS 2318335 (front) and 2318337 (rear) DO fit the ST.

I think Race Red suits the car. Nice choice.
