Sorry I've had to close this and unfortunately dissapoint the 14 or so of you. The dealer won't do custom jobs for 16 cars.


Background
As discussed here, we've proposed getting a batch of these 1/43 Diecast models (90mm X 50mm X 50mm) made up:

Costing
RRP: A$60 by Biante.
However with some many trims of these cars, we can't please everyone. So we can only go based on what their default model will look like: i.e. a VRX trim replica without the rear spoiler. So they'll have the VRX wheels and full body kit treatment i.e. side skirt and front air dams but NO high rise rear spoiler.

Please also be reasonable and do not ask for things like the Sharkfin antenna, shadow's foldable mirrors or say a Vortex Generator.
These things are not proprietary to the Mitsubishi and the dealer won't go out of their way to do it.

This has been offered to us @ US$20 each in any of the standard colors i.e. : Red, Blue, White, Black, Silver & Grey.
You can then add specific features like:
i.e. Rear Spoiler or chromed front for additional costings. Each costing about US$5 each. Conversely though, it doesn't mean that by removing features, will the price be decreased.

Shipping will be calculated seperately.

*EOI*:
Please let me know what you'd like to have added in the following form:

1. ofey = Effect Grey + Lip Spoiler + Chrome upper and lower grills ala Olympic Edition.
2. Mattigins = Black + High Spoiler + Chrome around grill
3. Ozie = White + High spoiler - Chrome front.
4. boomer 1 = Blue + High Spoiler - chrome front
5. boomer 2 = Grey + High Spoiler - chrome front
6. crankyfatcow 1 = Grey + High Spoiler - chrome front
7. crankyfatcow 2 = Grey + High Spoiler - chrome front
8. SIR-VRX = Red + High Spoiler - chrome front
9. Mizta-B = Red + High Spoiler - chrome front
10. Ryan_C = Blue + High Spoiler - chrome front
11. B3n87 = Blue + High Spoiler - chrome front
12. leevin = Black + High Spoiler - chrome front
13.

Comments
a. THIS IS A ONE OFF offer, never to be repeated. The dealer will not entertain you privately again following this group buy.

b. Shipping will be to the state with the most number of buys and forward shipping will still be shared amongst all buyers.

c. Color matching is left to dealer discretion. It obviously won't be that bad that navy blue will be passed off as Lightning Blue but you must accept that there will be a slight variance.

d. Group buy closes 30 May 2009.

I could but you'll pay much much more as I see it being :

+ High rise spoiler + vinyl for front bonnet grills + Chrome around - Air dams + front aero dams.

Too many things to + and - if you see what I mean but I can send the order in and see what the quote come backs as. Just don't think you'll be paying US$20-US$30 for your model car. It'll be more along the lines of US$50.

I see what you mean. Sounds a bit to complicated, I will have to wait till they release one then.
Thanks.

I'd love 2 please exactly the same.

Effect Grey with the medium spoiler (the one inbetween the lip & the high spoiler). If I can't have a medium i'll go for the high spoiler.

thanks so much ofey

Unlikely. They won't have the EvoX Wing since they don't distribute the Evo X version of the car.
