Does anyone know if we can get the black accent pack option in Aus?
It’s not on the Options List.

Options are Stripes, Magneride, Recaro Seats, Forged Wheels and Nickel Lustre Wheels are also an option. Auto is an option too as is, I think, $500 for most paint colours.

looks like I'll have to do it myself. Seems pretty simple, roof blank vinyl, black badges and potentially black hood scoops

I want to do the same. Black badges, hood vents, spoiler and maybe roof. Not sure if I want vinyl or paint though.

Badges at least can be picked up pretty cheaply front CJs etc

I feel Vinyl would (potentially) be a better option for myself as it is always reversible.

We love the black painted roof, with the Magnetic paint being Opticoated, it just pops in the sunlight and looks amazing :thumbsup:

Hey PPony, where'd you get the car opticoated? I'm looking at options for mine when it comes

I used Affinesse in Melbourne, awesome team, the best service I have seen with aftermarket car improvements.

Google them. JJ was my contact there and was amazing :thumbsup:

hmm i was just informed on the my19... Velocity blue and Green. All models now have the b&O stereo and also rev matching on the manual gt..

FFS why cant they just keep it as an average car. I was all set to buy a cla45 now i am rethinking my decision.

Do you have a source for the stereo? I've been hoping that would be standard but everything I've read says it's an option

I got my MY18 VIN today from Shahni at Ford facebook and then I put the number through Research Maniacs to get my window sticker. A few strange things I thought.
1. It mentions sequential rear indicators. Didn't think this was ok for Australia.
2. The forged wheels are listed as being black. They should be silver.
3. The sync 3 screen is listed as being 4.5 inch. I thought it was 200mm.
4. The radio has an Asian frequency IBMAS ? Why would an Australian car want this.

I was also advised that delivery was expected for late June/ early July but may change.

In reference to number 3, could that mean we aren't getting the digital dash? It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere - centre stack could mean that little LCD in the guage cluster

No, the official Australian Ford order guide mentions the 12.3 inch digital screen as being standard. In an earlier post I attached the complete guide.

And the Nickel Lustre option is only for the Ecoboost this time round.
