In the United States the North American Release Lancer models are called DT/ES, GT & GTS.
Why didnt Mitsubishi do that here in Australia?????(shakes head)
The American Models never were released with model badges.
They all have the Generic Lancer & a worded Mitsubishi Badge to go with the diamonds on the boot/trunk...boring.
These GTS Badges are not OEM they are aftermarket.
They were never originally on the US Version GTS 2.0, this is a Modification that Ozie came up with.
The look hot compared to the ordinary VRX badge.
The VR Model in the states is called the GT so it would work as well.
You can buy these from all good Auto parts stores.

Same way my license plate is held on and the same way the ralliart badge goes on.
Not sure if it would look any good on the front, but I'd like to see what it looks like anyway

The Ralliart badge sits on a plate that clips to the grille - you might need to fashion up one for the VRX badge. I reckon it would look alright. I am sure Ozie or Tenchi could photohop it up using the signature picture recently used!

Yeah you can have it if I get the GTS badge. But I thought the RA one clipped on, so not sure how you'll get the VRX badge to go on...
Yeah I knew someone on here already had GTS badges and thought it was Ozie.
The_Bandit I'll look at organizing a group buy if there is enough interest!

Yeah it's not that hard to do using a washer and a decent sized bolt and screw.

Sweet! Where do you get them from if you dont mind me asking?
Not sure if I'll be able to make it to the meet on saturday, sounds like I might have other stuff to attend to, so no rush in getting them, I'll just wait to next meet unless you want me to bank transfer and whack it in the mail?
