Mitsubishi Lancer X 2008- License Plate Holder (Plastic)

Stand (podium) for the front license plate for Mitsubishi Lancer X 2008+ in the pre-facelift version moves the plate from the center to the left edge of the factory front bumper on the driver’s side and opens up the radiator grille. Made of fiberglass, currently available in a matte black finish, it is bonded on with windshield adhesive sealant.

Why the plate is moved to the side

On the Lancer X, the factory plate location is in the center of the bumper on the radiator grille, and the plate covers part of it. The stand moves the plate to the edge of the bumper, so the grille is fully visible and the front end looks sportier. Customers call this part by different names: “plate podium”, “stand”, “side frame”, “plate trim”, “plate on the side” — it’s the same product.

Which Lancer X it fits

The stand is designed for the factory front bumper of the pre-facelift Lancer X. The model year is not the best reference here: the version is defined by the bumper shape, so before ordering, compare your bumper with the product photos on this page.

• Facelift Lancer X has a different-shaped bumper, and exact fitment is not guaranteed.
• Non-OEM or aftermarket/tuning bumper (including different corner geometry) — compatibility should be assessed from photos of the specific bumper.
• Lancer IX — a different model with a different bumper; this stand is not intended for it.

The stand is made for the left edge of the bumper. If you’re unsure about the version, send the manager a photo of the front of the car — they will match the bumper shape.

What the “Choose a shade” parameter means

The parameter on the page is the color and surface texture of the stand. The current option is matte black: the surface is slightly textured, with no gloss. Painting the stand is not required — it is ready for installation. If you want it body-colored, it can be painted after standard surface preparation. Price, availability, and shipping date are shown immediately after selecting the option.

How to install the plate stand

1. Remove the plate and the factory mount from the center of the bumper.
2. Test-fit the stand to the left edge of the bumper “dry” and check how it follows the contour. If needed, carefully trim/adjust the edge to fit — this affects how tight the joint will be.
3. Degrease the surfaces and bond the stand on with windshield adhesive sealant. Adhesive is not included — the package contents match the photo.
4. Let the sealant fully cure, then secure the plate to the stand; plate fasteners are selected separately.

No drilling of the bumper for the stand itself is required. If you prefer professional installation, it can be installed at the network of certified DD Tuning service centers — the manager will suggest the nearest one.

What to pair it with

The stand is often bought together with other front-end parts — see Lancer X front bumper tuning and plastic body kits for Lancer X. For the rear, there is a spoiler for painting, and other universal plastic parts are collected in the various plastic trims section.
