Hmm UK rear badges (turbo4wd) on a jap bumper/plated car - whats the story there? Looks like its been in a shunt and front and rear replaced (explains why the graphics dont continue at the rear?). That said, looks like a nice bit of kit and I quite like the simple graphics - makes it stand out. Welcome :)

Back end of a jap car normally has GT-Four instead of turbo4wd, and I'm still trying to figure out whether it normally has a T badge in the middle or not- I think it does and the UK doesnt (been 12 months since I drove my poor baby).
