because Ron a 2012 active has a Ralliart front end just like the 2012 VRX. That is why I assume Ron.

I called the dealer about a week ago, asked for set of foglights installed.
Quote: $385 for the fglight plus 2hr labor @ $90/hr... Probably too much for me... :(

Hi all :)

A while back when the Activ's first came out I did some investigation into what front bar the car used out of my own interest (as my dad liked the look of it and was wondering about it for his SX)

I did get a confirmation that it is indeed a Ralliart front bumper used on the Activs from two Dealerships. Suttons Mitsubishi Arncliffe and Alto Mitsubishi.

Suttons confirmed and here's a reference as an example of their listing on their website for one for sale, note it states "Ralliart Front Bumper"
Link:
Lancer Active at Sutton's Mitsubishi

Alto confirmed and also referred me to the Offical Mitsubishi Australia Brochures for the Lancer Activ.

As seen below they state it's a "Ralliart Front Bumper and grille".

So yes it's the Same bar, two different cars. Nuff said, end of story. :)


As for the foggies, yea they are expensive mate, couple of members here have unfortunately cracked theirs in the past and got a bit of a shock when given the price.

I reckon some deep read Vinyl offcuts would do well, subtle yet gives it a mean look :) Check out a local sign maker shop, they might have some offcuts they could sell you.

Good luck! :D

I actually did get my Activ from Suttons Mitsubishi in Arncliffe!

Can't wait to get my hands on some of the red vinyl, I'll definitely post a photo here when I'm done.

Shit ron I hate to say i told you so, but you seem to have your foot shoved in your mouth.....

Well enough gloating over your lame attempt at calling me a turkey, when obviously you need to "try to keep up".

Thanks for the troll attempt anyway.

A quick and temporary solution while I wait on some real vinyls from a friend. Used a cheap coloured adhesive lol. I can just remove it easily anyway.

Hey Twellsy, just wondering if you are still able to get any more vinyl? i've got a activ w/o fogs too. thinking of covering it with silver (glass like) vinyl for now.
