Evo Ix Mr Colours

[Adam484]

hi people just have a query...
after researching i have found that the evo 9 mr comes in 5 colours - black, white, red, silver and grey (please correct me if im wrong) according to sources like evo magazine, autocar and various other sources.
so when i saw the following advert i was a little confused, can anybody shed any light on the matter for me? it would be much appreciated thanks..

Mitsubishi  Lancer  EVOLUTION IX MR FQ-360 NUMBER 183 - DVD PLAYER    2.0  Manual for Sale, West Yorkshire - Shaks Specialist Cars Ltd - Huddersfield - West Yorkshire

Yea they come in blue also

MR's didn't, the FQ 360 did though.

 

[evoaps]

Black 9 s look the best IMO

yes this is what i thought, so what is ur opinion on this advert then?

 

[Ultrafex]

It's probably a FQ360 just mistakenly being sold as an MR version.

Or someone chancing their arm!

Lol, well yes, I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt

The front splitter is a non MR FQ360 splitter so it looks like it's just a seller not understanding the differences.

Of course, you could well be right :whistling:

Oops, misread the title. My bad

 

[Steve220]

Lol, de-brief yourself Lee

Sounds like when I was buying mine the dealers didn't have a clue. One tried selling me a 7 as an 8 and another tried selling me a yellow 8 as an fq Mr

that's just embarrassing.

My list of 9 cars windled down to the one I bought because it was the only one that hadn't been tracked and was as stated, silver wasn't my first choice but love it all the same

Of Course you have to expect that at least one or two modifications will have been carried out when buying an EVO as its a bit of a rareity to get a standard one but will give you an idea.

Ask to look at log book I think each model and derivative should be on there.

Does look like a nice IX though so dont be put off but DO check out properly!
