    I noticed a couple of Montero GLS-V and Strada GLX-V units on the road with Faded V emblems in the rear...

    Its supposed to be a Red V colored emblem ^ but the with the ones I saw the color is fading to a hazy grayish red....

    Probably same issue as with the Ford Lynx RS.

    The red enamel paint used to give these things color doesn't stick well to chrome.

    EDIT: oops... sticker pala... probably the dye just fades....

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Nice to hear that, I'll tell my office mate who also has a GLS-V unit (Feb 2011) to ask for the new 2012 V emblems.

    Why not claim it as "warranty", given you have a new vehicle?

    Yung isang 2009 Montero Sport na nakita kong namemeke siguro galing sa GT-V yung "V" badge niya kasi maganda, hindi sticker.

    Halata naman di siya GLS-V kasi "N" pa plates tapos wala pa nga tailgate garnish

    Walangya

    Currently here at citimotors alabang, waiting for my new V sticker, warranty claim. I emailed mitsu phils. And after 12 hours someone from citimotors contacted me to replace my V badge... Kudos to mitsu phils. , however, its a temporary action, I wish theyd just replace the crappy emblem.
