Coming Soon........to a Mitsubishi Dealer near you

Postby NowForThe5th on Tue Jan 16, 2018 7:30 pm

Over the last few days we've had an MQ Triton in the shop doing a "blackout pack".

This is a relatively new product which includes various pieces of black trim, plus respraying anything that was silver to satin black. As far as I know it will only be available through dealers, with the purchase of a new Triton.

Looks pretty cool though, so thought I'd share.

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that the tyres are different sizes front to rear. We were working with the tyre shop on what worked best. Rears are 265/50R20, fronts are 265/60R20. But, there's a problem...

Wheels are Plus 15 offset which makes them legal, by 4mm. There is a solution for the tyre rubbing issue but the gain is only about 5mm of clearance so it's important that if you're considering wheels and tyres like this that you check first - there are variances in diameter from brand to brand.

Sorry couldn't see via phone / tablet using tapatalk had to use a browser. Funny how it used to be chrome was premium, now it's black and satin / matte finish even on paint.

I wish a product similar to tub liner was an available paint option 8-)

a more durable paint finish would be perfect for someone like me (and probably every tradie in the country) who is constantly scratching, chipping, knocking and pin striping their utes.

I always thought to myself that if i ended up with an mq that had all the exterior chrome, i would get it professionally sprayed matt black......

I did these in satin, dw. I think it looks better that matt and the finish lasts much longer.

I always thought the basic black GLX grille looked better than the chrome grill on the upper spec models.

I Kinda like the shadow chrome grille that comes on them now, if they extended it into the chrome in the headlights it would look pretty good I reckon

Can't see the images, Chris... This new Tapatalk update is crap! Can't even find where the emoticons are. Sigh.

Can I suggest a browser on your phone maybe rather than the laptop? Had the same issue with TT.
