Hey Ali, I was wondering the same thing about his front bar, so I visited his garage:
Description: brand new lancer sx stock fitted with evo front and side body kit and evo x spoiler.
Now it cant be a genuine EVO front bar because they're a different wider size and wont fit.
So it must be after-market, looks good though.
So where did the dealer source it from, if it was actually fitted by or at the dealership before the sale, or did Brenton have it fitted elsewhere after he bought the car.
Sam.

I think many people would like to know the answer to that one Sam. It does look pretty sweet.

yea i also visited his garage to see if there are any pictures but couldn't find any so i read the description and i think its an aftermarket body, but it would be really great if he told us where or how he got it
cheers

Who are "they" when you're referring to the service?" It would be strange if it was the dealer you got it from.

I suspect the dealersip mechanics meant it as a joke.
If a mechanic cannot find the Lancer's VIN,I'm not sure he should be servicing them.
The kit definitely is NOT a genuine EVO front. As SAM mentioned, the genuine ones will NOT fit a NA or RA Lancer.
We will need more pictures to ascertain quality of finish. The thumbnail is too small.

It is strange. Can't imagine there would be more than one mitsu dealership in Gladstone!
