Rebadging... who?

I want to rebadge my boot since I've had it resprayed. Unfortunately, I didn't get done at the time. Do I take it to Mitsubishi to make sure they are put in the right place? Or do typical repair shops have some sort of guide as to the edge distances and centring locations?

Best to just meet up with someone and measure their location.

Some badges are dealer fit, some come on the car when imported. Any that are dealer fit would usually come with a template of some sort.

Looks clean with no badges, or just the diamond badge. Leave the rest off mate.

Nope. I defintiely want them back on. So then, just need to find a dealer to take it to.

I think the badges come with instructions.

I bought an ASPIRE badge and it was stuck between 2 sheets. You peel the rear off and then stick it on the car first. Then you remove the front sheet of paper and the letters should all be in a line.

All very easy.

I will bank deposit $10 to anyone who can give me the measurements of the following to the nearest millimetre.

A: From the bottom of the boot to the underside of the Mitsubishi logo.
B: From the bottom of the boot to the underside of the Lancer logo (between the "N" and the "C").
C: From the side of the boot to the left side of the Lancer logo (along the centreline).

Hey Matt,
Have you PM'd your Banking Details to Chris (zeroshift) yet ?

PS: Don't forget to claim the $10 as "income" in your 2010-2011 Tax Return.

ATO: "Rules are Rules" remember...:!:


Sam.... :wink:

Disagree- don\'t think it meets the qualities of \'ordinary income\' per s6(1) of ITAA 1997 (e.g. it\'s not recurring/periodic, not a replacement/substitute for loss of income, etc...)

... unless of course Matt considers this as running a business!
