So,here is your chance to bling your 380 to the max

380 GT LED COLORS

Me........................ BLUE.......(knowing me with 10,001 led strips,i will try them all to get the best color)
D_Van................... WHITE
Kif........................... BLUE

380 VRX

Rightnow
genebaby
Knotched..................BLUE


Ya...........all sold......all other's will now have to go on the list


My next step in this will be to arrange for enough buyers to get a generic plate for all the the variants

Today I made for you metal plates. This is done using the carbon laser in a nitrogen environment.
It is 2 mm stainless steel. While they are terrible and ugly. But don't worry.
The next step polishing machine.
So I need to know within 2-3 days. Who wants to polished, who wants to matt. Define please. http://s58.radikal.ru/i162/1112/ec/80ae8b724340.jpg

:stoopid::stoopid:

maggie, could you do a copy/paste of the thread into this 1...as White said, not viewable as guests...but interested to have a look.

Wouldn't be too hard to do this locally i wouldn't think..
get a jpeg of the actual "380 GT" text , and get it water jetted into the steel.
a water jet will cut it directly into the factory plastic kick panels :)

Hey, I like it!

I'll be in on a set.

I would be interested as well.

thanks for that Brad,seeing as you reckon it is so easy to do...any recommendations in the Adelaide area that could do this.....if you have,i will follow this up and maybe take it on as a change over service for those who want it...

Laser 3D are in Gillman im pretty sure, they may be able to do it straight into the panels? Or into metal. Then just need to look for backlighting... laser3d.com.au

Very cool would like a set with red LEDs though

same here would be interested. With a silver or white LED even dark blue to complement the blue dash :)

Very cool, I want! :pray:

here you go guys.....color of led up to you......

Ok so it is just the insert and moding the kick panel is needed

+1 but MAGNA :P Very hot....New Kia sorento has them, look MAD

I'm keen too.

But with "Mitsubishi 380" lettering rather than "380 GT", seeing as I don't have a GT!

Very keen!!

I Would be keen on getting either;

'Mitsubishi'
'Mitsubishi GT'
'380 GT'

Would be keen on '380 VRX'

(matches the floor mats also!)

Love a pair.
+1 for VERADA

Would love a pair but +1 for the magna :)

ok so where do you get power from? just tap into parking lights somewhere or are they just on when you open the door? 380 VRX would look good for mine.

Wherever you want. But ultimately to keep coolness, you'd tap it off the door trigger which is close by.
So the list is
380 GT
VERADA
MAGNA
380 VRX
380 GT
Mitsubishi
Mitsbuishi GT
Mitsubishi 380

Maybe keep it simpler if cost's are added for different designs...
I.e.
VERADA
MAGNA
MITSUBISHI 380

maybe just......380

maybe just......380

Taking the KISS principle to it's extreme!

Do you need so many LEDs?
Seems a bit overkill.

ok mitsubishi 380 for me depending on price.

380 VRX ftw!

+1 for magna...even tho "sports" would look PIMP hahah

ok so where do you get power from? just tap into parking lights somewhere or are they just on when you open the door? 380 VRX would look good for mine.

Simple , run constant power to the LED's , and earth them through the door switch so they only light up whenever the door is open.

ok power sounds easy, has anyone actually taken the sills off to see how easy/ hard it would be to fit LED's in there?

So did you not read that this came from the galant forums and that they already have done this to their cars in the US

okay...got a pm from the guy off the club9G forums,turns out he is in RUSSIA like WTF....lol...any way,he was talking 150-170 US posted...yeah right...

i have emailed a local company that was mentioned on the first page of the thread,so we will see how i go...will keep you informed...

If you look close enough at the photos,it looks as if it is actually TWO pieces...a metal/alloy top piece and an opaque plastic piece for the bottom,so it looks as if you would have to cut a hole in your scuff plate a glue the two panels together...

One set for Verada AWD!

They have 380s in Russia....? :nuts:

Hey you third genners - bugga off! :P

Lease you didn't say second gen lol This look like a great mod. I think 380 was sold world wide under other names, why would they realist it only one country lol :P It not like a ford falcon or holden commodore lol

They have 380s in Russia....? :nuts:

Hey you third genners - bugga off! :P

nope they have galants in russia.

hes also doing a custom built supercharger. really interesting read actually. (doesnt look like any supercharger i've ever seen) however the bloke struggles a little with translation software so is not ver clear most of the time.

sparky, the 380 as sold and built in australia was only sold in australia. else where they have american built galants except the grunder which is assembled in whichever asian country its sold in -republic of china and phillipines. so no, no export 380s except new zealand but that doesnt count!

whatever fits in the 3rd gens will fit in the 2nd gens.

They have 380s in Russia....? :nuts:

Hey you third genners - bugga off! :P
Would you rather a Lada Niva LMAO!!! lol
Can I get one with "RICEY" on it!! (He sits waiting for the barrage to commence)
Seriously though they look OK and I may even be swayed...."if the price is right!"

Hi Michael,

This quote was for the "Galant" wording only.
Our software that does the quoting uses the cad data to work out the cutting time on our machines so each stencil would vary a little in price depending on the size and length of the wording.
If you were able to supply a cad file of each design then we could work out the pricing for each design.

The cad system we use is AutoCAD and we use either DXF or DWG format files.



Can some one help me out here on explaining this...???

Still following this up,initial pricing seems fair,but will need lots of orders to make this work,and im talking MINIMUM of 10 for EACH different set of plates,

So ifyou want " 380 GT" or 'MAGNA " or whatever ,to make it viable,then i need the numbers,so bear this in mind before you go off sprouting a whole set of different types of plates.

At the end of the day,i will work on what is most popular and take it from there....early days...

Are you able to get a copy of the original drawings? I have ProDesktop on my computer, need to re-teach myself how to use it though, and im thinking about doing some extra night study at TAFE including CAD while im still an apprentice to try and get some money off the total cost. I can try to change the shapes for the wording, but im not sure if they want it done all the way up to the tool path stage.

Are you able to get a copy of the original drawings?

ummm...nope..guys in RUSSIA of all places lol

Ok.. Are you getting them cut in Russia too or here in Adelaide? I'll bring a tape measure to the next magna meet and see if i can do some stuff in sheet brushed stainless. Im guessing its a hole cut in the plastic trim with metal glued on the top, white plastic glued on the bottom, and an LED strip under the whole lot? How much room is there between the plastic trim piece and the metal car frame?

CAD = Computer Aided Drafting, AutoCAD is a computer program used to digitally draw up designs etc., used by engineers and stuff.

I reckon I might be able to help you out Mike, but I might need a .jpg or something of each design wanted to be made as a reference.

cheers guys,if you both come out to next weeks meet,we can get together and talk about it,and,yes,im thinking of getting them cut here in Adelaide.

Better yet, i have Tafe next week, and while i doubt ill be able to do enough for everyone, if someone has a 380 up near golden grove or elizabeth and wants to take the scuff panel off and get some measurements with me, i think tafe have a cnc plasma cutter, and i think there may be some scraps of brushed stainless left at work.

what measurements do you need.....can take a few photos and put measurements in ..????

Need to know what size you want the plate, and a rough idea of how the edges line up (im hoping its an almost flat surface), and if its possible to work out how much room there is underneath for LED's to go in, and if you have a font similar to the writing you want, itallics or not, etc.

come on you two, make this work :) want to do this to the Terry :)

I'm going to have a go at making some of these.. not in a rush though but I'll let you know how I go.

Im doing 2D CAD/CAM this week at tafe, hopefully we can play on the laser cutter and not just the CNC mill. Can anyone post pics up of lettering styles they want? Magna/verada/amc/territory/mitsi logos etc, I'll try and get some drawn up, remember that with letters like A, O, P, etc, it will cut out the inside of the letter, so the A's will have to be like the ones in the above GALANT examples, or the middle pieces will have to be kept and stuck on neatly otherwise it might look silly.
Im pretty sure I've seen magna badges that have the same lettering as the galant stuff, but I cant find them on google images.

Also, if anyone in SA can get cheap skylight material, or has any lying around, let me know, I think a flat cutout section from the square wave type skylights that go in verandahs etc would work well for the opaque underneath part.
-e.g. this http://www.metaldeck.com/fiberglass/rpanel.htm but im sure there are plastic ones instead of fiberglass that would give better light transmission? Fiberglass may have that hairy look from the fibers up close.

380 GT 380 VRX i reckon style shouldnt matter much,cause if you can get this done,it will look awesome regardless

Ive cropped some close-ups from badges in the rear view shots in Annese's ride thread ( http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73710&page=1 ), If someone could post some close up, front on shots of the MAGNA, VRX, and if there is a VERADA in the same font, I think off TJ/KJ to make it a little easier to copy, and a close up of the rear badges on the 380 GT/VRX ? Untill then ill keep searching members rides threads...

http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x112/micpea/GT%20380%20at%20the%20Port/black380rearlightresized.jpg

All the pics of badges I find go fuzzy once I zoom in enough... Maybe I'll have a look through some carparks with a camera tomorrow for close ups.

http://www.picturestack.com/172/151/41cf0e9277b9fb7aa99630d909ec0ce15ad4637b.jpg

Magna/VRX sorted

Do you want me to do a VRX from the 380 or is the one above enough?

The more high res, zoomed in lettering from various badges the better, and ill print them A4 and measure the angles, lengths, radiusses etc from there to copy them as best as I can.




1st gen ???

2nd gen 30 x 520 front (TR)
2nd gen 30 x 300 rear (TR)

3rd gen 30 x 600 front (KH)
3rd gen 30 x 270-300 rear (KH)

380 30 x 450-500 front
380 30 x 150 rear (flat)
380 30 x 300-350 (curved)

territory 30x340 (inserts)


Is there any difference in the sill sizes between the 3rd gens e.g. TH-TJ-TL? And if anyone has some 1st gen measurements or wants to double-check my measurements as most of them were done in the dark and/or rain with a 150mm ruler and a thumb... Looking for a comfortable fit in a flat space, but may be able to curve them in the 380 rears as its only a short flat area... Otherwise just "380" should fit neatly in the short spot.

Are you able to get a copy of the original drawings?


ummm...nope..guys in RUSSIA of all places lol

No copy of the drawings at all? Im sure russian numbers will still convert into regular numbers? Or does he sell them as a buisiness and doesnt want to give away the files for anyone else to load up? It would be good to check the sizes im trying against one that is known to work.

Very cool stuff. if this manages to go ahead i will be strongly interested in a set :D If you do them in magna or vr-x or somethin of that genre.
Also if your trying to gauge interest in these might be an idea to post it in a general forum somewhere coz i only managed to stumble on this accidently while looking for your other magna thread and other people who might not go through the 380 forums may be unaware of this. Just a suggestion :thumbsup:

I just saw this awesome ! +1

One set for Verada AWD!

+1

Maybe Verada for the front and AWD for the rears..

Who was it down at the meet that said they had all the outline drawings for various badges? And am I allowed to accept spare scuff plate donations for test fittings?

that would be D Van Timi

How many scuff plates do ya want dude? I can gran some 2nd gen front ones and send em up?

However many anyone has spare, its still a little while before im up to any fitting work yet, so if bringing them to MMX saves on postage, bring them along or send them over with someone?
Did scuff plates ever come in different colours with different interiors e.g. black or beige? Or were they all dark grey?

Any progress on this TiMi? :D

+ Verada! :P :D
Love the idea.

;1328164']Any progress on this TiMi? :D

I spoke to him about this in length during the last meet, and thrashed a few ideas around...it still a work in progress...

Been busy lately and no progress on the scuff plates yet, will update here as I get back to them.

+1 for 380 VRX depending on final costings if it works out

+1 for me, love the look of that! depending on cost of course ;)

Apparently the laser should be able to cut through the door sills themselves no worries, for a neat flush fit. I'll try to build as many jigs as I can to make the process as fast as possible for the actual paid machining time. Would people prefer the "stripes" of the stainless steel to go lengthways like in the pics, or short ways across the strip, diagonal?
Also still after pictures of a mix of badges to turn into logos.

i think the way the pics had them was perfect. feel free to disagree with me tho

I like that way too, but it shouldnt be too difficult to sit the metal in a different direction while its being cut if anyone wants to be different. Might waste a bit for just one pair of 45 degree ones though...

no news?

no news =(
still accepting high res pictures of badges though.

Magna badges done, anyone have a verada badge or any others that are not on a car that I can borrow and stick in the scanner?

I have second gen verada badge?

After the 3rd gen KJish ones, its probably cheaper to lose a 2nd gen one in my toolbox next u-pull-it visit than to post, but cheers anyway.

getting there, slowly... some neatening up to do and some measurements

Hey mate I will see what I can find in the wreckers :) I send you some photos.

Putting the badge in a scanner works very well if anyone has badges and a scanner...

neatened up, measured, adjusted
adjusted the G some more
radius fillets on corners (the laser is hopefully a round beam and should do a small radius anyway)

Can't find any textured stainless at work, might get out the sandpaper and make some from regular, couple of jigs/clamps and there might be some of the metal parts done. Should have 5m of LED rope light on the way from hong kong too.


links not working due to swear filter I think.

http://www.picturestack.com/110/711/ f k d 28Ng1.jpg

take out spaces

+1 for 380 TMR or just TMR with Mitsi emblem cant see too many people wanting TMR ones

Got a clear, front-on picture of the TMR logo? Have a Diamante badge almost done, still just looks like a bunch of lines at the moment though. Should be working on these more than fiberglass crap over winter since it won't set very well in this weather unless someone wants to heat the shed for me for free?

bit of an update.........am in contact with the guy who makes these...here is a preview...


http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x112/micpea/doorsills.jpg

and his Galant ones,so im assuming ,they will take on the same dimensions....do we want the mitsi logo ??

http://s45.radikal.ru/i107/1007/f9/ede7b3fef40a.jpg

thoughts....I will get him to do 380 GT as well...can just see it now ,with Red led for the logo and blue led for the words and numbers....mmmm

If its 380 VRX then no, don't need the Mitsi star. It'll look too busy.

Lookin' real good!

Think we need diamante ones :D

Excelent! What's the estimated cost for them? Diamante one's mostly drawn

http://s003.radikal.ru/i201/1106/6a/b8c3b5cd89c7.jpg

Does he have .DXF / .DWG / .MC9 files at all for any of these? Understandable if he doesn't want to hand them out though.

Lovely, sign me up.

Look good
Price?

Yep 380 GT looks good.

I am in if I can get Diamante VR-X or Diamante or VR-X in dark blue lighting.

I am in if I can get Diamante VR-X or Diamante or VR-X in dark blue lighting.


The lighting is a D.I.Y ,so you choose the color and the type of led.

I will take a 380GT :P

How do you pick up the LED connections?
Is there a rough cost on these?

How do you pick up the LED connections?
Is there a rough cost on these?

Simply tap into the door light circuit,and ,im still waiting for him to get back to me,last price he was talking $100.00 a pair,whether that was US $ or not,but ,he is in Russia lol

Maybe $roubles

The lighting is a D.I.Y ,so you choose the color and the type of led.Ok that's cool. Am I able to get Diamante VR-X then or if that is too many letters ?

http://picturestack.com/899/934/7Re1002968Cop5Dz.th.jpg (http://picturestack.com/899/934/7Re1002968Cop5Dz.jpg)
verada one all but done, diamante is almost done too, GTV and Magna badges done, I have a VR-X badge but its off the car so the spacing is out but I'll see how I go, still need GTVi, 380 GT, anything else people want done?

I'm definetly keen on a MAGNA scuff plate.

...anything else people want done? Ralliart ? :shifty:

How did i forget about ralliart? =|
Anyone got a spare ralliart badge I can borrow? Once the first test ones are done I'll have to sort out some sort of sponsorship thing too.

Put me down for a 380 VRX

I want GTV ones.. :D

SuFz :ninja:

http://www.radikal.ru/http://www.radikal.ru/Hes Baaaaaaaaaack................who want's a set..........??????????

Gotta love his engrish :woot:

I have written back to him again ,so hopefully he will get back to me.

I hadn't forgotten about these,just as he said,"The Galant Centre " went missing in action for a few months there ,but its now back,he had his problems...but ,all good now.




Hi, wicked380. We corresponded with you in the summer.

Then I thought TGC died, then died, my computer.

All correspondence away.

Before I could do for you vector files (for CNC machine).

If you are satisfied with this font, I am ready to get to work. It will look like this. http://s03.radikal.ru/i176/1112/73/9a4a54334637.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru/)

If you make a group procurement, the postal item will be cheaper for everyone.

Anyone for 380 Platinum?

What colour LED's are they going to be and price, I'm keen

Anyone for 380 Platinum?

At this stage,only as above ,it may be introducing way to many variants,a simple Mitsi badge and "380 " may have to suffice.

Color of LED are up to you Kif,only sent a PM to him this morning,so ,cant help with the price as yet.Once l know ,you will know.

I'm in!

Awesome, will wiring them up be pretty straight forward (i.e even for kif)

Works for me!


Have sent him a pm,in the meantime he replied............who wants theirs polished.......me for one....


Re: hello again
Hi! 6 pairs of plates will be worth 510 USD (85 USD per pair).
Postal item from Russia to Australia is 83 USD (EMS Post Russia).
Term of delivery of 6 - 15 days. You can pay with PayPal. Now pay nothing.
At first I make a plate.
Another question. ??
You need all the plates matt? Or someone wants to polished?



Now it is available technology matte polishing. This is done using the little glass balls on a polishing machine. The surface is very beautiful.

Yep polished also

would love to get a set for the magna if they make them

Hi guys! I'm already here. My name is Stas, I'm from Russia. Thank you Michael, gave me a link to this site. Anyone have questions, ask. However, I want to remind you, I absolutely do not understand the English language. Talk through the electronic translator. Therefore, I ask the smaller slang.

I don't understand where you were? No one should be? To do or not to do the plate?

I already wrote, delivery 83USD for weight up to 1.5 kg. I think weight 5-6 sets will weigh less than 1.5 kg. 1 set of delivery too 83 USD


Okay guys,l am getting Stas to make up a 380 GT one so we can see the finished product.

As described earlier ,they will be 85 bucks a set.....postage for six sets is going to be $83.00 ,so that works out to be only $29.00 a set..so for just over a hundred bucks ,you are getting a really unique product

To make this work cost effectively ,we need another three orders...who wants a set

Order's so far

Me
D-Van
Kif

l know its REALLY close to Christmas and all, so there is no rush,l just want some idea so we can go ahead with it in the New Year

Michael,

Not sure about your postage cost maths there!

By my reckoning $83/6 = $13.82, not $29.

Or am I missing something?

Its per set.....duh.....

How much would it cost to get the holes in the scuff plates cut etc.?

Also, what color wire running underneath the scuff plate gets tapped for the 12 volts?

Probably cut it it yourself with a stanley knife,I would be getting a spare set from the wreckers anyway, and you would just run a wire from the interior light inn the roof, that's how I ran my footwell lights

Guys, I want to clarify. I only do the plate. Leds and installation of you make. Plastic plate smaller in size than the metal. Plate is mounted with the help of glue. On the same level with the door sill. Not terrible, if it is not carefully. This place closes a metal plate. I think you understood my English. In the near future I will try to make a video.

mmm duno if i'd use glue, it would just be a matter of time before someone kicked it with their shoes while getting in the car. I think a couple of pop rivets might be better at either end. I'll look into a design if people want, I'll do some for my own 380.

Plastic plate affixed, not very neatly. But it's not terrible. The metal plate closes the adhesive residue.

Today I made for you metal plates. This is done using the carbon laser in a nitrogen environment. It is 2 mm stainless steel. While they are terrible and ugly. But don't worry. The next step polishing machine. So I need to know within 2-3 days. Who wants to polished, who wants to matt. Define please. http://s017.radikal.ru/i428/1112/11/244eb574103e.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru) http://s017.radikal.ru/i432/1112/8a/a0cf87ad8488.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru)

I also want to disappoint you. The weight of these plates is already 1.9 kg. Plus the weight of plastic plates, plus packaging, I think weight is 2.5- 2.7 kg. The price of postal items will be higher. Tomorrow I will know the price for 2.5 -3 kg.

Well guys.there the are.........the reality of it that he has come through and delivered.

Now ,i know it is really close to Christmas but i want to be able to confirm place an order early in the New year...

So,here is your chance to bling your 380 to the max

????????????????

Any chance there'll be some Verada ones in the making or anything like that?

SuFz :ninja:

Yes, this is possible. But already in 2012. I need a font to create a vector file. You can send a photo inscriptions Verada? This may be schild or emblem.

In 2010 I did moldings MAGNA. I sent them Adelaide. But I don't see them on the forum. I have not survived addresses and contacts, my computer died once.

I learned today the price of the postal sending over 3 kg. It will be 119 USD.

Just going by the above pictures,how many sets of each,GT/VRX have you done in total ?

Is that postage cost for the complete set that you have made up so far ?


Просто собираюсь на этих снимках экрана, сколько наборов каждая, GT / VRX вы сделали в общей сложности?

Разве что почтовые расходы за комплект, что вы сделали до сих пор?

*********** UPDATE ***********

He has made up three sets of the GT ones and three sets for the VRX

The GT ones are SOLD.....but if you want some ...let me know

All the VRX ones are STILL AVAILABLE

Well plain "380" ones are looking unlikely, and mine is sort of a VRX faker anyway (rims & spoiler), so I might as well stick my hand up for a VRX set.

Unless there are strenuous objections from real VRX owners!

Of course Michael I'll be calling on your expertise for wiring up the LEDs.

KJ.

Could someone describe to me how I would go about installing these? Doesn't need to be a step-by-step - more of just a general overview. I want to make sure I am capable of doing this before I buy them.
If it is relatively straight forward though, I'll be keen.

Put me down for a set for the 380 GT,let me know when you want the cash.

I corresponded with Michael in the united states on the website of TGC. He told GT and WRX necessary. I can do another GT plate. How much ?"

Dont rule it out just yet KJ,I have asked him to do a generic one for the rest of the 380 range.If we did every model ,there would be too many.So for all you ES,SX,LS,Plantinum owners out there ,you havent been forgotten.

If the demand is there,i will ask that a sill plate like this is made up.


" :mits: 380 :mits: ".....This style would look quite dramatic actually ,as you could make the Mitsi Diamonds light up Red and the 380 light up blue and that would match the dash perfectly.

Put me down for a set for the 380 GT,let me know when you want the cash.

I can put you down for one ,but PLEASE realise that we are dealing with a guy from waaay waaay overseas and i don't want people saying they want one ,only to back out ...if you say you want a set ..you are committed to buying it.

As far as paying for them ,when i have the definitive orders for what he has made so far ,then i will arrange for payment to be made to me into my PayPal account or bank transfer and i will then complete the whole sale by paying Stas through PayPal.

I envisage that due to Christmas and the New Year ,that i would like to finalise ALL orders by the end if the second week in January 201Q2

Okay,as you can see from the photo below,the alloy plate sits on top of your existing sill plate.


http://s52.radikal.ru/i135/1007/f9/9fa989a9ad65.jpg


Look closely at the photos and you will see the the kit comes in two parts,the top metal plate and the lower plastic bit(not sure what he uses.)So,the raised letters on the plastic fit flush into the metal plate.

In order for this to happen,you need to trim/cut your existing sill(or get a spare set from the wreckers)to sandwich the two pieces together between the cut out you have made in your sill.
http://s45.radikal.ru/i107/1007/f9/ede7b3fef40a.jpg


Seen from below is the plate glued into position.

http://s55.radikal.ru/i149/1006/f8/28da883c1ee3.jpg



For the lighting,buy whatever color led strip you want to the required length and place it below the sill.

To power this,simply tap into your interior light in the roof.

http://s48.radikal.ru/i122/1006/66/0eb81cf962e2.jpg

Michael, thank you! You very well and properly reported. I was afraid for my English. Leds I am doing a 15 - 16 pieces. Less is not necessary, enough light. More than you can, if you want to. I want to remind the threshold is not flat, plate must bend. At the top it will not be noticeable. http://s49.radikal.ru/i125/1007/57/7e44bdcc2144.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru) [url=http://www.radikal.ru]http://s48.radikal.ru/i119/1007/28/dad7d54689e8.jpg[/url

Is that postage cost for the complete set that you have made up so far ?

I wrote earlier, a post office called price-for-weight. 0 - 1.5 kg worth$83, 1.5- 3 kg worth$119. I did 6 sets. 3 GT and 3 WRX as you requested. The weight of the 6 sets of exceeded 1.5 kg, but less than 3 kg. I can send 3 sets. Their weight will be less than 1.5 kg. However, I called the amount for 1 set of 100$. You have ordered more 5 sets. I gave you a discount of$ 15 for each set. Do you understand me?

Simple , run constant power to the LED's , and earth them through the door switch so they only light up whenever the door is open.

Very correct answer. So I do...

Guys, I want to say. I understand that someone wants to Verada, someone Magna, EX AND SX, WRX.....bla, bla, bla. There are no problems. You can do any of the inscription. However, there is a condition, you have to do 5 sets in 1 of the order. For example, let it be 1 Verada, 1 Magna, 1 380 GT, 1 mitsubishi380, 1 any other inscription. You understand me? 1 order - five sets. Firstly, it is beneficial for you, I give a discount of$15 postage costs are lower. The main thing is convenient for me. I will explain. The equipment on which it is done is open 24 hours a day. This military production (I'm not kidding). Migrating to 1 kit is expensive. 5 sets of this is normal. All connection I ask through Michael. Thank You...

Heh-heh-heh The metal plate mounting glue to bond automotive glass. In 48 hours you will not be able to move the plate. This is a very tightly.

Michael.. I'm keen for 2 sets of Verada, if we get enough people for the minimum 5.

SuFz :ninja:

So final cost is going to be $120ish incl. postage. Another quick question - that's postage to yourself in SA yeah Maggie? Any idea how much more for postage to VIC? :D

In regards to fitting, seems straight forward enough. I'd most likely buy a second set so I could take my time and get it perfect :)

Some progress has been made. Now we must make plastic plates. This is done with the help of 3D milling machine. I think, will soon finish. http://s58.radikal.ru/i162/1112/ec/80ae8b724340.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru) http://s56.radikal.ru/i154/1112/9c/b7314e6d279e.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru) http://s017.radikal.ru/i436/1112/03/fa6f68916b14.jpg (http://www.radikal.ru)

woah guys,how good are these going to look.....need two more people to get the VRX ones and we are in business..

If you want a sill that looks like this.... :mits: 380 :mits: then we need a minimum of five people for it to go ahead.

Come on VRX owners out there!

With regards to the :mits: 380 :mits: ones.. I believe he said he can do 1 of each, with a minimum of 5 sets.. is that corect..?

SuFz :ninja:

Yep,that right....as long as there is a minumum of five..then its all good...

I dont want to ask for other versions as it seems hard enough atm getting the VRX ones sold..

In so far as the Magna/Verada etc ones go,l will wait and see what the 380 ones look like once they arrive,and let you guys know if there is any possibility of them fitting onto the Magna.

I will get a set from the wreckers and cut them up and see if it will work.

if you know your sills on the Magna, then ,you would realize there is stuff all room under them.

It may mean "loosing " two of the press pins that hold them down.

Will have to wait and see.

I look at the second door molds and there might be problems due to width and screws being in the way :) But I can dimension if needed.

:pleasesign::bump::bump::bump::bump::bump::bump:

come on ...we heed TWO MORE VRX owners out there to put their hands up to make this a goer.......

otherwise ,those that already have said yes,will have TO PAY MORE...:sook::sook:

I will take a VRX set, I'll ask another guy if he wants one for his car too.

OK, OK.

I did express an initial interest. For the sake of the club and all that... I might need some help putting them in - Sh00t?

Put me down for 1 pair of VRX.

OMG dont look for a few days ,and boom..sold...thanks guys....I will get onto Stas and let him know..

Excellent, all done!

Yes! So keen.

Just to let everyone know, I ordered a couple of new front scuff plates for the front in preparation for this... only $11.50 per side! That was with MMAL staff discount, so I would still say at full price they are less than $15. So if people are looking at getting a set from the wreckers, I would suggest getting it brand new from your local dealer. Will probably be cheaper and in better condition.

Awesome mate, you wouldn't happen to have a part number would you?

Not on me as I haven't paid for them yet. Will post them up here when I pick them up next week and get a parts order receipt.

You sir are a legend!!!

Cheers:D

Awesome mate, you wouldn't happen to have a part number would you?

Part numbers for the front scuff plates:

MN177106XA FRONT RH BLACK
MN177105XA FRONT LH BLACK

For those with a beige interior, the part number will be similar except the last two letters (XA) will be different. XA is the colour code and is for the black interior pieces.

$9.10 each side!!!http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab231/kif_380/a902c223.jpg

Any word from Stayer?
Also, thanks for the part numbers. I'll go and buy some as well. So much easier than using my existing ones, especially at that price!

Yeah for that price, may as well start with brand new clean ones - at least then the old ones can remain in until the silicon has cured while setting the mouldings in to the new ones :)

That's my exact thoughts. Will give me the time to get it exactly right and not have to rush.

and i quote from a pm from Sayer..lol


Hi Mike! No,nothing has been done. Just a person who performs this operation at the factory, in the hospital. So you have to wait when he was cured of the disease. I'm sorry and I apologize for the wait.

Still nothing?

Still nothing?

nope....:angry::angry::angry::angry:

Sorry, this has dragged on too long, I have to bail out. We have a baby due any day so no time to try and get this done now.

:bump:?

sigh..this thing was going to be nuts ,but i haven't heard from the guy in ages.

Im going to pm him and see if we can just buy the plates off him and do our own plastic inserts .

There was some problem with who ever actually did the plates being sick,probably dead now,and not saving the files .

I still have drawings for mine but have nothing sorted out for the backing or lighting...

Can I say bump?
