Hi Blister,
Welcome to the site and very nice wheels
Hope to see you on the tracks when I get my Pajero back

Hi JDV!

Thanks for the welcome. Sorry to hear about your "loss". Hoping that it is replaced soon.

Regards

Blister

I've seen that Paj somewhere... from the number plate

Welcome Aslam

Hi Aslam,

I see from your Paj foto that you have the same problem that I had with the Maxi's nudgebar originally. They supplied me the nudgebar without the lettering of the Pajero name which comes separately and needs to be stuck on. I went back a few months later and they appologised for not giving it to me in the first place. Suggest you go ask for it to.

Hi Simon!

You such a "spoil sport"! I knew though that you would recognise it.

Hi Bigwill! You probably noticed that I have no stickers, badges and such like and thus I am not to concerned that they"robbed" me. . In fact the spare wheel cover had a perspex with PAJERO on it, which I removed

Hope all is well, including the Paj's

Regards

Blister

Welcome here.

What model is your Pajero if I may ask? The reason for my question is that from the front bumper it seems to be a post 2004 model(round fog lamps), but from the rims I would say pre 2004(16inch instead on 17inch), or do I have my facts wrong here? I don't know the SWB that well, so this might relate to the SWB only, but those rims only came out on pre2004 Pajero LWB GLS in SA(90% sure). Or did you fiddle somewhere? Or is this one of this in between models in the middle phase making it a 2004 exact model?

Must say I like the clean(no badges etc) look on your Pajero.

Hi Cats!

From the reg papers, its a Jan 2004 model. I heard from some people that there were a few chnages that Mitsubishi made of which the round fogs were one.Apparently the other is rear light cluster that is "square" (have not managed to find out the difference between mine and that).

No I have not changed anything on the van other than Wabasto Electric Slide sunroof and "Smash & Grab" tinting. The rims are 16" and I thought it was standard

Maybe is was a "transition" model thus the variation? Who knows?

Thanks for agreeing with the "clean look" which I hope a potential buyer will apprepreciate it as well, as the van is up for sale

Regards

Hi Blister,

Price?

Km ?

Hi Aslam,

Welcome and I will come and test drive your coffee next time I am down there
