Does anybody know whether the Ralliart front spoiler fits the '98 Magna Executive or other models? And give a brief instruction on fitting.
The price for a Ralliart front spoiler (including mesh) unpainted. I spoke to a spare parts dealer and he mentioned $720 for the front spoiler plus mesh and other parts which brought the price to nearly $2K.
And if anyone has had any problems buying one due to VIN proof of purchase exclusive to Ralliart Magna owners?

Been covered before.

Im still not happy about people trying to copy Ralliarts (the reason i bought one to be different, not copied).

But, i rest easy in the knowledge that even with a genuine Ralliart, i struggle to get parts from Mitsubishi and they will want to see the car.

So, without a genuine Ralliart, you will find it extremely hard to get parts.

Plus, that front bar price does not include the front lip which is 600 more.

..GONE..

Ralliart Boy, to be honest with you, i think you are being ridiculous. :nuts:

The reason people are going after ralliart bars/kits/accesories is because there are very very limited numbers of aggresive looking bodykits for our cars. Its not because people they are trying to 'fake' or 'copy' a ralliart and they certainly arn't trying to copy you.
We are paying just as much for the parts as what you would and it isn't just the kit that makes ralliart what it is.
Its like saying that people shouldn't try and get their magna engines above 180kws, because you paid for a ralliart that has it. They shouldn't get leather interiors, suspension upgrades or paint their car ralliart red, because you went out and bought a genuine ralliart.
We do what we can to individualise our cars and we have very limited possibilities, so let people do what they want and be happy in the knowledge that you own a genuinely great car.
[/ :rant: ]

Fullysikmagna, i suggest you look around. My room mates brother owns a ralliart and is getting a replacement kit. His bill had (approximately):
Front Bumper $550
Front Bumper Assembly $500
Grill $500

It worked out to just over $1600 for the whole lot, new genuine.

Cheers,
Cam

Um it's a whole front bar minus the bottom lip. If you have a clue how to drive you will lose the lip anyway. I tore off one up in the hills in Melbourne.

The price seems about right, I personally hate them, no fog lights....

I don't have a problem getting anything Ralliart/ we are a dealer. But unless you know someone who will do it for you you have no hope in hell of getting one.

Ease up guys. All he's done so far is cop abuse for his point of view and he has the guy with the real deal. Leave him alone. If you want to feel good about yourself, go read the thread with everyone whinging about it.

I have a brand new, still wrapped in plastic front lip (splitter) that I'd sell if anyones interested. I'm told by several reliable sources that they cost $600 !! but I'd sell it for much less than that.

And it's red so it'll make you go faster :D

Jay, $454? Which dealer sells it for that price?

30-07-2004, 05:30 PM
im gonna a be a lil off topic here but

i dont see what is wrng with wanting to buy a ralliart lip? .............. it dosnt mean he is trying to copy a rallyart!! he could then put on VRX skirts n then get no spoiler and a cutsom back bar......... it dont mean he is trying to copy a VRX ..

its what i intend to do when i buy my new magna ....... gonna mix n match kits together make it look original

30-07-2004, 05:33 PM
yeah i went into my dealer and he quoted $464 and did a quote for me, and told me he could have one here the next day

Ralliart Boy, I understand where your coming from. But have your forgotten that the Ralliart Magna is a wannabe EVO 6. So your Ralliart Magna is not so unique either.
I think improving our Magnas in anyway should be encouraged. It would be a nice change to have people envy Magnas for once, rather than envy Commodores and Falcons.
I will be making some internal mods too.

I just bought a Ralliart and personally it wouldn't bother me what parts of a Ralliart someone puts on their car. Each to their own i think.

At the end of the day, you DO have a Ralliart and the mok up Magna is not so why worry?

i got quoted by my local dealership for a full ralliart kit un painted it was gonna cost $9700 the wheel arches cost $970

Fullysikmagna,

My car is a EVO6 wannabe ?? Dont think so.

Im not a fan of copying other cars and trust me, if i wanted to buy a EVO6 i could easily have had one.

But, i like the idea of having a unique car.

Im sure an EVO6 would get the attention my Ralliart does as no one would take it serious as most Lancers these days are mock up EVO6's which is why i liked the idea of a Ralliart Magna as i thought they wouldnt be copied.

At the end of the day, if it makes you feel better by copying a Ralliart, then go for it. Just dont drive around thinking it is the real thing and making people look at my car and question whether it is original or not and whether they can take it or not.

As long as you buy a production car (and leave it stock in appearance) you will never be unique, get over it :nuts:

teK is 100% correct!!! :rant: We have been here b4, lets let it go ralliart boys, a copy is inevitable. Sleep easy knowing you paid for a 1 in 500 car.

I sleep easy knowing I am 1 outta of say about 2 twins (that I know of ;))

And any of you ralliarts who want a run ... let me know the time and place and lets get it on!! :) Dicked by a 3 litre TF ... ouch thats gotta hurt. :bowrofl: (jokes guys)

Seriously ... the ralliart is a fine piece of machinery and realistically the front bar is not what makes it a ralliart.

Err - I thought there were 1000 units made. Mine is build 410 anyways.

But personally if you want Ralliart body parts go ahead! It's your car so your entitled to do with it as you wish... The more the merrier!

It's what happens when you have a production car that's in limited numbers; all the cost put into the design, crash testing, and final tooling is passed onto the retail customer. If it's for 100 cars you'll be paying a lot more for spare parts than if it was a mass produced car where they pump out 20,000 units and the above costs are spread out amongst more customers.

Call me nieve but you talk about a "bottom lip" on the Ralliart front spoiler so i went out and had a look at mine and it all looks like 1 piece! The only changable part is underneath the car itself. The entire front spoiler appears to be just 1 item.

Can you ellaborate?

The front bar has an additional front lip.

Most second hand cars dont have them as they have probably snapped off somewhere along the way.

They are $600 to replace.

gregd,m8 u got jipped,they didnt give u the lower lip,bastards,go back to where u bought it and demand the rest of your car. :cool:

03-08-2004, 07:53 PM
i thought the front lip was optional because most people didn't want them coz they sat about an inch off the ground

Does anyone have a pic of this lip? Mine came straight from Tonsley Park so i would be sure it was all there but who knows! It still looks quite low though.

EDIT - Just found a pic and mine certainly does not have the bottom lip as shown on this car.

03-08-2004, 08:10 PM
Here is a pic of the front of my Ralliart... no lip. But even with a lip i know it would be way, way too low to even consider driving.... And even then there are no screwholes to mount this lip... Perhaps they canned these due to the high amount of damage?

Rall!art
04-08-2004, 05:38 AM
U got ripped off mate....There should be some screw holes underneath the front spoiler to bolt on the bottom lip. When I bought mine....the bottom lip came with the car. I don't put it on though cos it's too low and easily damaged

ReallyArt
04-08-2004, 01:25 PM
We're on to you gregd. Quite clearly you don't have a real Ralliart :D it must be one of them fakes Ralliart Boy hates lol

Mine came with one nicely wrapped in plastic but not fitted.

If any one wants it, it's for sale.

Ralliart Boy
04-08-2004, 03:38 PM
Mine came without the front lip from the start.

I purchased the front lip for $600.

Silly decision as it has cost me $1600 so far as the stupid front lip catches on everything (even though the suspension is standard) and i have had to put a new front bar recently.

Needless to say the front lip is no longer on the car since the new front bar went on.

And yes, the front bar has screw holes in the bottom of it so you can attach the front lip.

Fair go! It's a Ralliart alright, build 410 but i can take the joke. As mine came from Mitsubishi Tonsley Park i just think they just didn't install it for some reason. I have emailed them anyway to find out why it wasn't supplied in the first place. After all, i bought a Ralliart so i should have it all!

Ralliart Boy
04-08-2004, 04:00 PM
Mine came across from Tonsley Park as well but was purchased from a large Mitsubishi Dealership here in Sydney.

It did not have the front lip installed.

I originally didnt know that they had a front lip either until i saw an old magazine article on the Ralliart and realised that something was missing.

When i went back to the dealership, they told me that the lips were all taken off and had no idea what they did with them after that.

That being the case, i dont like your chances of the dealership giving you one but they may help you with trade price on supplying you with a front lip (RRP is $600, i got the lip supplied, painted and fitted for $600 from the dealership).

Good luck.

U'd never know.....the dealership might sell the bottom lip that they took off from ur same car....for....hmmm...say $600

ive read countless threads where ppl have had trouble finding kits etc for their magnas. it's not exactly the traditional car u would put a kit on (believe it or not, the magna has a family car heritage! and supply and demand is low for magna kits compared to commodore/falcon kits) the ralliart kit is there to b had... i agree with everyone who has said... "the kit isn't the thing that makes it the ralliart." the kit is based on the evo 6 kit! wen i think of ralliart, i think of that engine. 180kw... definately not a normal magna engine. anyway, enough from me. i hope i don't start any other arguments.

Not surprisingly i did not get a response from either the dealer or the factory. As mine was an ex-executive driven lease car (this one looked after!) i beleive the Service Centre would of either not installed it or they removed it knowing the high risk of damage which the factory has to pay for.

Personally i really don't care either way as chances are i would have the lip taken off. I'd rather spend $600.00 on other areas of the car every few months.....

It's more curiosity then anything else....

Fullysikmagna,

My car is a EVO6 wannabe ?? Dont think so.
Not trying to fuel an argument but wasn't the Ralliart body kit directly inspired by the Lancer Evo VI Tommi Makinen Edition? Just curious :confused: (oh BTW I don't think this is the Tommi Makinen edition, i couldn't find a decent pic)

HyperTF, thats was my point earlier on in this thread and the pictures proves that the Ralliart Magna is a wannabe EVO 6. Their engine may be different, but thats because of engineering reasons. Ultimately the Ralliart Magna is a beefed up family sedan whos concept derived from the EVO 6.
Ralliart Boy if you want to be unique, then take of your damn bodykit and create your own. After that, you can buy a Magna engine (or an engine of your choice) and do it up your way. Or you can always buy a Go Go Mobile as a cheaper alternative. Now thats unique.
