I think you'll need the full kit if you want to have a Bozz Speed front - it will probably look a little daft otherwise - as mentioned before if your car is lowered then you won't keep the bozz speed front on long - the first speed bump will see to that.

I put a Top Mix front splitter on mine - but in retrospect I should just have lowered the car - this would have brought the standard bumper down low enough and would have sorted the wheel arch gaps as well.
Dave has lowered his car with the Top Mix (though its on 18inch rims so its a little higher than it would otherwise be) and I know he has some problems with rubbing as well - you need to be careful on Irish roads

- CJ put a new facelift front on his 94 GPX recently and it looks way better than a standard facelift - he has lowered the car and has MGTF and Lupo spots and repeaters in the bumper and it looks 8) - much better than either the Top Mix or BS fronts - see pictures in Tynagh Kart meet post. CJ - we're still waiting on the How-TO on that project.

Looks a lot better in the flesh - The clear side repeaters and clear front indicators make a big difference over the standard facelift front - and it looks much better lowered.

You can order one direct from Mitsubishi, I got mine from Modo in Finglas (Dublin), any good Mitsi dealer should be able to order one in for you, p/n is MR555088. Expect to pay anywhere up to €560 (list price inc. VAT)
