Ozie, think you are right, need to do this in stages. Step one - do it in vinyl, check I like it. Step two, send the part to these guys and have it done properly

It does not meet Australian Design Rules if it is mounted to the side, under the headlight. That is why the AUDM Evo X has it in the centre nad the rest of the world has it to the side.
Yes, the previous Evos had it on the side, but they were a different shape which just squeezed in past the rule.
Sucks, but them's the brakes.
EDIT: Oh Hoggy, chrome it and mount the number plate in the centre of the lower grille, up high tucked up to the centre section, covering the screw holes from the lower grille. That would look the best imo.

Cheers for the feedback guys, think if I do it I will leave the plate where it is (well raise it slightly to break up the big block of chrome, will also probably body colour code the Mistu logo as it looks too much with all that chrome.
Can you buy the centre piece on its own from Mitsu?
