Mitsubishi Diamond

Post by **Bennoz** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 9:56 pm

As most of you know Im not much on bling, but I've got a few bucks at the moment & am going to do a few subtle exterior mods.

Has anyone replaced their Mitsi diamond on the front of the car with a chrome one?

First thing most people will say is Ebay - but you try & find the right size one on Ebay... they all 60mm wide & bigger.. the FTO one is 40 something mm.

is it possible just to remove it and get it chrome plated and then stick it back on.?

Nah cause the red is sunk into the chrome surround on the stock unit. You'd end up with like a border round the edge.

why not get it dipped several times until it fills and levels out?

what, you never noticed my silver badge at Autosalon?
dude your attention to detail sucks!

yep, mine was on flea-bay about a year ago,
but i can't seem to find any supplier info that'll help ya.
pretty sure the size is 34x40mm and
it was a UK supplier that sold them in all different finishes
like carbon fibre & metallics

your best bet might be to PM one of your contacts at FTO UK

if you end up getting it from FunkyStyling, let me know, I might get one of those 3d stickers for the 'FTO' logo on the rear bumper & have it sent with your stuff..

Already ordered

They are yet to come back to me & ask for payment details & the like, so this evening would be your best opportunity to give them a call (when it strikes 9am in the UK)

I got the carbonfibre one from Funky. Made sure to superglue the little diamonds into the frame though. Very happy with it!
