He's not based in the Kent area by any chance is he?

No mate near me in the NW. Not really active on any forms of social media either, don't think he's ever put a picture up of it anywhere.

Ah no worries, not who I think it is then! Nice car, super low miles.

A mate owns that. Was imported by his dad brand new and its only done 20,000 miles never been used in the rain etc etc. Rediculously clean. Also the most scared I've ever been in a car on the road.

Looks bloody lovely mate. [emoji41] [emoji106]

Must be a super early 9, too. I thought mine was quite late but there are a few 2006 ones registered

Well I spent a few hrs fitting new mud flaps with shinny new bolts. Also fitted locking wheel nuts which I hate but need them now these alloys are selling for near 2k.

Excuse the dirty alloys.

2 grand! 😊

I've just pulled my mud-flaps off, hated them! 😂

I like them in black as they are more subtle, don't want road rash on rear arches.

I sold a set of TME alloys for £700 last year, whoops!!

Sorry @adamlstr - I'm firmly with @Ant1 with regards to mud-flaps. Granted, a lot of cars can't carry the look off - but they are a brilliant cosmetic addition to an Evo/Scooby/GT4, etc. I purchased a set from MLR within a few weeks of getting the VI.

As Ant mentioned in his R26.R thread - the possibility of getting some form of protection for behind the front arch is a very real one for me. It beggars belief that the vast majority of manufacturers allow pristine bodywork to get repeatedly twa**ed by s**t flying up from the road. Almost as bad as removing arch-liners, imo. Definitely a Marmite addition - but it would be nice to have the choice of whether or not to fit some form of lip or flap to pretty much every car.

lol 2k, that's mentalisms

Rear doors take a pounding on 7-9s too. Mine was only painted the other month, barely driven and already got chippys lol.

 

[adamlstr]

Maybe I'll buy some plain ones and trim them a bit...

 

[Silent_Scone]

Made me laugh yesterday. First bit of proper weather we've had all year. Was driving home...saw a white TME I've never seen before lol.
Some of these guys are prolific

Thanks, yeah I did - didn't take much effort! It's just the way the light hits the car sometimes

I think it shows it off well, really well captured! Some photo's you see of 8/9's just don't look right, especially in for sale ad's i find.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Bewm. s**t photo, sorry. Got dark.

Any chance you've got the part number, a family friend owns a Mistubishi garage. :up: #costprice

Not to hand matey, I will look in the box later if I can find it as the guy who sold them to me had the original paperwork

 

[Ant1]

Those gauges are N/A now.

You can still get them from Mitz apparently if you look in the right places (Bob at Dynotech got me a quote)

 

[Silent_Scone]

Booked the car in next month with Dynotech, going 400/400

 

[imprezaworks]
