About the car: Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin (1998-2007)

The Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, also sold in Europe as the Shogun Pinin or simply the Pinin, is a 3-door or 5-door SUV built between 1998 and 2007. The versions for the European market were built by Pininfarina, near Turin, in Italy. The photo of this fitting shows the 3-door version, with the GDI badge on the grille.

In the photo, the box is fitted on roof bars, so the bars must be firmly fixed to the roof before the box is fitted. With 460 litres, the box suits bulky luggage, but before you order, check that the height of the car with the box fitted suits you for car parks.
