I think CJ and myself met with this particular example on a journey to somewhere once - I remember the badge sticker - also has mitsi stickers on the panels just behind the doors.

Sadly I wasn't able to get a good shot from the side - busy road - even though it doesn't really look it.

Anybody here??

You playing around with Photoshop again Muad or did someone really put that "Type R" sticker and those bonnet vents on their FTO?

Wasn't me I swear - that sticker is there.

Car needs a bit of tlc - but with a bit of destickering and a polish she should fetch her owner a bit of money provided she's in otherwise good order.

With regards to the bonnet I think the vents are simply cosmetic addons but I didn't take a close enough look to determine for sure.

Whats with the 2 mitsi badges on the front? Is it just in case you dont see the small one so 'hey I'll put a bigger one up there too!!'? Could at least have got the same colour red. And the 'R', noooooo.......

It's like they drove through a tornado of flying stickers and they just stuck in random places... :roll:

This I could forgive as its probably just some guy trying to repair accident damage and hasn't got round to painting it yet - but putting stick on vents and random (non Mitsi) stickers is just .. well its just ... :smt078

Tehehe - actually I took the photos with my phone :-D

Didn't ring the owner no - and I'm pretty sure the vents are simply glued on yes.

Could be an alright car with the stickers and vents removed.

I know it's a matter of taste and all that - but the red & black one is about as attractive as my two-tone rear bumper.. sorry dan, but no!
