...unless you don't mind having 7 holes in your boot after removing the spoiler (even though it only uses 3 screws), you're up for about $300 to get the boot patched and repainted! i know coz i learnt it the hard (and expensive) way!!

I see a black FTO travelling down William St all the time.
It may be Porter's brother (after changing the number plate?), or it may be somebody else.

The very first FTO I saw was parked in Park St outside Hyde Park one day, the only way I knew what car it was is because of the logo on the rear bumper.

I have a silver Tip, however I've only taken it to work (on william st)about 3 times, so I don't think you mean me.

What a damn fine idea sbe8888. It would have to be the same for all though (font type and size etc) - but come in different colours to suit the car. I have already had some stickers made up for my car (MIVEC and FTO) and its very easy to get done. What do others think??

well i was thinking of putting GPXXX number plates on my car - no need for fancy stickers or anything to identify myself from the forums i suppose LOL...

yeh i agree with jerrin!

i saw a brown/burgandy fto today! it was far away, off springvale rd/princess highway.....
i think it had full veilside body kit, and with a huge FTO in white along the side, and white fto mitsubishi on the back......

that was too overdone

i'd have the 'www.ftoaustralia.com' sticker (in silver/white) along my front or rear windscreen... (or perhaps on the edge of my GT wing hehehe....)

I agree with Mikey, along the back or front windscreen. It would be easier for anyone to see if they are driving behind u or coming head on. How about the web site logo FTO Australia with the web address in slightly smaller font. Silver or chrome would be ideal - would go with any colour car!

Sorry to divert the topic Fellas... But MattG, i think it's me you keep seeing, i am always on William St on way to city. but usually at night. Next time you see a black fto with 18 inch rims around that area then beep the horn or something.

Cohn,
I'm usually on foot walking up to Town Hall on the musuem side of the road. I've got long hair, usually in a pony tail so you'll probably spot me.
