As far as the customer is concerned, there is no difference. My dealer just got it transferred from the Melbourne dealer. The way Mitsubishi works, you cannot by a new car from interstate because they cant sell an unregistered car. Therefore, you need to be licensed in the state where you buy it. T...

I wouldnt swap to silver - not that nice a colour and has been around for ages. Titanium is a new colour so will set your car apart and not look outdated. When I got my Ralliart it was the only white hatch in the country and had to come from Melbourne - dont know what I would have done if I couldnt...

Thanks guys. My heart says Titanium. Being a new car and one I'll keep for a while, I think its worthwhile to get the colour I want. I've called another dealer (from another group) and waiting to hear if they might be able to find a Titanium somewhere in the country. Otherwise I'll have to wait till...

Manufacturing Delays with Lancers - Should I wait?

thanks everyone

from all your comments, it looks like even with the non legal tint 10-20% it still doesn't doesn't totally alleviate the issue. I think I'll just go with the darkest legal 35% and move onto the next mod!

cheers

Privacy glass is well beyond darkest legal tint 35% light transmission... Go as dark as youre comfortable with the front window tints - but depending on how fussy you are will determine how noticeable the darkness difference is. I have 35% in front - I feel it is nowhere near dark enough. 20% tint ...

so obviously its impossible to match regardless of the %. Im assmung since the privacy glass is glass and not tint like the fronts

pretty annoying to buy a higher spec'ed lancer (VRX) and have to spend money on something the lower models already have standard

Matching Front Tint with Privacy Glass - VRX Model

Hi all, I'm looking at upgrading to a new VRX model. I noticed the passenger windows (and rear window?) come with privacy glass standard. Not sure if it can be removed? My concern is as I also want to get the front windows tinted it won't look the same (not as dark and different colour?). Looking fo...
