Mach 1 HP Spoiler

[MLO 351]

Throw in some of those Herrod 20” forged wheels if you don’t mind?
btw, have you seen a part number for the US mirrors with the magnetic finish? I don’t think I’ve seen one posted

Ha Ha, there nice wheels.
No haven't seen the US mirror part number(s) that would be handy to have included into the spreadsheet with the other HP and Mach 1 part numbers.

Would be interesting to see if the US mirrors are a direct fit on the Euro cars?
Do you have BLIS as an option with your mirrors as that would be an added bonus.

Don’t have the orange reflectors!!
not officially legal in the states but I’m somewhat of a rebel

*EDIT* you guys get the better looking headlights and don’t have the orange turn signal below it either

I do have BLIS, not sure if that’s standard or just for 700A cars though

Thanks Atlas1, Charlemagne & MLO 351 . The Mach 1’s come up very nice with some of the the HP kit added. Draws some attention and conversation I guess with people in my suburb enjoying checking it out and having a friendly chat about it. No other mods though other than a better air filter and a Ford oil catch can. Deciding at this stage to just leave the rest original. It’s really only a weekend cruise car .

You guys should get all the AUS Mach 1’s together for some pics!

A Mach 1 "Round Up" would be a spectacle. Its a big country though, co ordinating and travel for some would be a huge effort.

Thank you. Wheels are actually from the US. Prefer all original. To tell you the truth, the ones offered here in AUS although come close, are different. The edges of the spokes have a sharper contour/profile and the colour is not quite the same, also some other small differences. Also they are 20”, not 19” like the HP’s. Not to say that there’s anything wrong with the ones offered here, but I simply prefer what is meant to come with the Mach 1, the Original US HP wheels. And at US $1000 for the set of 4, + US $800 FedEx delivered to my door in 10 days,…you can’t go wrong. The only mistake I made was that I should have gone 295 front and 305 rear. I went 275 front and 295 rear. The rears are a little stretched.
As for the rear splash guards, have got them on also. All original from the US.

Surprised those 275s look as good, stretch wise as they do. Looks good.

Great photos @OZMACH Looking forward to my wheels for summer already. I too wish PS4S were available in 305/35 R19, but alas, won't go with the older Pilot Super Sport so will stick with 295/35 R19 for the rear too. The slight stretch looks pretty much the same as with 275/40 on standard 10.5".

What's wrong with the 305/30/19 that fit the HP?

30 series tires throw the speedo out, the standard non HP 40 series 275 rear tires are closely matched (in rolling diameter) with a 305/35 or a 295/35.

Even if the diameter didn't have too high -5.4% difference, I wouldn't really like such skinny tyres for our roads. Hopefully Michelin will finally replace Pilot Super Sport 305/35 with PS4S in the future.

@OZMACH , @MLO 351 Guys, what TPMS sensors did you use? The standard with rubber valves? I was thinking when it's track focused car it should have metal valves, like GT350 has, but those are not 433 MHz... Didn't find anything else from Ford for EU cars except G1ET-1A180-DA for Focus RS but not sure if that would work.

Did the TPMS sensors need programming? Did the tool that came with the wheels for US sensors work with 433 MHz sensors too? Just doing my preliminary homework. Thanks.

Hi Charlemagne, I have new rubber TPMS valves, factory Ford ones. Haven't mounted the tyres yet, they are going on next week. Agree metal valve extensions may be a better option, for now just going to run what I have.
Also haven't given any thought to syncing the valves, hoping that they just work after a reset and travelling a few Km's.

The tread on those looks like the BFG All Terrains on my F1.

I went carbon fiber for my spoiler

Hi Charlemagne. The TPMS sensors that came with the US HP rims wouldn’t synch with my car here in AU. Different frequency. So took the ones out of the stock Mach 1 wheels and used them. Synched/programmed them fine thereafter using the remote supplied with the US rims.
