Hi Guys
Any idea where i can buy the colour coded plastics for my side steps?

Its for a Gen3 SWB. I scratched mine badly and need to get them replace. I know big panel shops just order them from Mitsubishi directly and they come pre-sprayed. I would prefer to buy them direct.

The other option is to just by proper rocksliders but i think that might cost a bit more...

Any suggestions?

I asked about one from the dealers in Jan for my Gen4

"Garnish, side step, LH" R3412.61 excl VAT.

I declined.

Found a chap in our town this week that specialises in this type of repair, am gonna pay him a visit soon. See what he says about repairing it.
