Yup, I crashed my Ralliart the other week
:cry:. Sorry no pics (just imagine a Mitsu Triton towbar pushing everything from the dead centre back to the point where it bent the heat shield on the extractors
:redface: )

No drama, no huge structural damage and with some paint and new parts everything good as new.

One problem, the radiator support needed changing, and as a result (despite the best efforts of the smashie) we couldn't save the little build number (i.e. Ralliart Sticker on support that had 4-digit number - mine was 0081). Does anyone know if it is possible to get a new one? It's just not quite right without it.

Glad you're ok. I'm unsure maybe the MMAL service people can provide some advice.

sorry to hear. have u tried mitsubishi

OUCH!
Sorry to hear mate!
Call up mitsubishi or even go to a dealer, you'll definitely need to provide your vin number or to even physically show them your car and vin :).

Yeah, have tried spare parts at one Ralliart dealer. They said they couldn't get one, they didn't sound to sure about themselves though.

Sorry to hear about the car - but at least it was fixable.

As for the Build Number - Keep trying.
Try another Mitsu Dealer or call MMAL Customer Service (or send them an email via the MMAL Website - The Cust. Service Department will call you back).

I wouldn't bother trying to get one mate. In all honesty I tried when I first got my car to get the build number off MMAL and it took 4 weeks and about 30 phone calls. I wouldn't worry man, mine's never had it since I bought it, mine's #0006, as long as you know what number it is. But yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you champ.

yeah ive heard of ppl trying to get them before and got completly nowhere....

i doubt mistu would be interested in making one for you and i doubt they made spares at the time of printing

been down that track. sorry to say but you cant.

Ok if its a plate type thing, why dont you ring up an trophies shop? get a photo of what the biuld "plate" looks like and they can make one up easily, they have plaque machines that can engrave anything in seconds.
It wont be official but if done right you shouldnt be able to tell the diff

yeah good luck tryin to get one i smashed mine 12 months ago and still waiting for mine :cry: red earth can make one up for you

Why don't you just keep the whole panel when its removed from the car? :cool:

Cut out the little square of metal and make it into a keyring or something, definitely unique.

Im assuming it was smashed beyond repair in the accident.

Well that was my intention, my instructions to the smashie were "Find out if you can get one, if not, just cut it out of the old support and I'll do something with it."

Some how he heard "If you can't get another one just use a heat gun to try and get it off and rip it in the process". Oh well can't blame the guy for trying. :doubt:
