I would also be up for a Round 2. Maybe March or April?

My problem now is how to post these things isolated safely.
So yes quality makes it difficult to judge.

Here are some pictures of the License plate mount, the DRL and the central lip in Matte Black (i.e. raw):



I don't want to diss anyone's purchases but here are some observations:

1. The license plate mount is contoured to fit the edges of an ES/RS/SX/VR/Platinum/OlympicEd/VRX/Aspire front bumper bar. They will not fit properly on an RA nor Evo. The rubber lining is a nice touch which will prevent scratches. Lines up well but you might need to drill a few holes to mount it on. Comes with no screws though.

2. The DRL also seems to line up well. Wiring up should be easy. If you need help with the wire to tap in the fuse box which will come on with accessory, I'll put one up. Good fitment. Taiwan made. No guide drill hole was provided.

3. Front Lip is the most disappointing to me. It does strike me as being slightly flimsy. The material is very thin (< 1.5mm thin) and I'm not so sure it will last more than one serious scrape. Secured by 4 screws it will hold no problem but it would not feel safe. Due to its flimsy nature and measurements, I'm not sure how I'm going to post isolated pieces out. I suspect the best way is to use a postal tube but will add to the cost significantly.

Here are the images of the badges:



The one for the front is the one with the metal prongs. Whilst the rear badge is purely stuck on.

Well made. Looks the best to me. I have tested the LED and it's relatively bright. These are original Mitsu badges and not some cheap knock off. They then add the clear acrylic backing.

The wiring for the front one is just pure +/gnd cables. The one for the back goes abit further. Sure you can use it as a straight +/gnd cable but they've provided you a little wiring diagram in Russian to help you wire it to your brake lights so they can come on when the car is on and also go to a 2nd degree of brightness when you press the brakes. Pretty spiffy.

Nick aka Fisherr will provide a translation of the instructions in due course.

Ofey, did you collect everything from Nick? Cos I don't see anything from my order in your possession...

[ofey]

@Vlad: Apparently nick said you were going to meet up with him for a Ruski meet. So he said to leave your things with him?

I can pay for postage to Gold Coast for my items.

thanks for the update Ofey

What is the quality like of the parts?

Do you want to do another group buy with them again? I know this one was a little test.

I would like to get the rear diffuser next time if the quality is good.

Any manufacturer markings you can see? Sometimes just going direct to the manufacturer is cheaper for future purchases.

I like your good honest reviews. Photos can only do so much.

If you need me to be the drop off point for NSW, go ahead, as Chubb said if you can arrange for stuff to be delivered before our Australia day BBQ meet, that would be great.

whats the qualitity of the led on the front mitsubishi badge like. I would be possibly interested in the front badge in the next Group Buy if they are good quality

Read further up. I did post up a review on the badges.

But I thought you were scared? Perhaps stay out of it. Else you might get duped.

[ofey]

LOL My Bad as i have told you it wont happen again mate so lets leave it in the past

Here's what we do, we spout out of our mouths whatever we think, that hurts other people then we say, that's in the past. Convenient isn't it.

Hey Mitch, you're a real cowardly, condescending twat. But that's in the past. We'll leave it at that. How does that sound?

Sometimes the things we say already cause the necessary damage.

[Mitch]

yeah ok cool i wont worry about the next GB alright i will keep my Mouth shut next time and heads up wasnt directing it at you was just concerned that it was taking a little too long in the mail thats what i was first talking about so yeah i was directing anything of what i said to you so yeah.

[liam92]

Thanks Ofey and Nick. I apologise for the trouble my refund process caused I was just getting itchy feet in fear this stuff had gotten lost.

Ofey I will make payment to you asap. How did you want to do postage? Im now working pretty much 7 days so meeting at a cruise is almost impossible at current.

For anyone who missed the GB my stuff will be heading to fleabay in the coming weeks since I have no need for it. Luffy4688 has bought the illuminated front (white) logo. That leaves a rear (red) logo and a blue sidemount plate holder for grabs


Cheers
Liam
