Evo 3 front guards; aluminium or steel?

[ricey]

Hi all,

this is probably a newbie question, but are genuine Evo 3 front guards made from aluminium or steel?

I have tried searching via Google etc, and I have found sites which say they're steel and others that say they're aluminium:unsure:. I know that later model Evos have aluminium guards, but what about Evos 1 to 3?

So which is right? aluminium or steel?

And if they are steel, is there any difference between Evo 3 and CC Lancer sedan front guards then? To my eye, the Evo 3 guards look a little more flared/pumped but I could be fooling myself here.

The reason I ask is that I need a pair of front guards for my Evo 3 RS, and if the CC Lancer sedan front guards are the same it would certainly make sourcing a pair easier.

cheers,

steel mate, and they are a little wider in the flare towards the front
of the guard to meet the bar.


the bonnet is the only alloy panel peter.

I always thought that they were aluminium.

evo 4+ front panels are aluminium.

thats why its so much easier doing an evo front end on a CC, as you can weld both steel panels together.

With later model evos you have to get FG ones.

Regardless of material they are still different to the standard lancer Peter.

I also have a second set of guards if you need them

Ok lads I am on the steel bandwagon now... a magnet will stick to them. However they do feel lighter than the gsr guards...

Steel, but much thinner from memory

I belive they're the same gauge as standard Lancer guards.

I remember years ago, before EVO frontcuts were readily available, that we all thought Evo guards were alloy. Nowadays, its just another myth goooooonski.
