Mitsubishi Offers 20% Reduction on Parts for Grey Imports
Stocks of parts for these imports have now been built up in the UK by Mitsubishi, enabling them to reduce the prices by using a mixture of air and sea freight instead of just costly air freight. Pictured is John Rose, General Manager of Parts for Mitsubishi Motors in the UK with a selection of genuine approved Mitsubishi parts. ArvinMertitor Sponsors Renault Clio Trophy

Mitsubishi vehicles imported through the unofficial 'grey' or parallel
markets. They claim that previously owners of 'grey' imports have
struggled to have their vehicles serviced and repaired in the UK with
the correct approved parts and at reasonable prices.
