I've got a '05 KW Verada AWD white in colour and it has a black grill. I've seen a '04 TL VRX Magna with a white grill and want to know if that grill would fit my Verada. Got a feeling they don't but does anyone know conclusively? Thanks

L and W series have the same body, the two should be identical.

Why not just paint yours? First thing I did on my 2004 Lancer, a black grille looks silly on a white car. Painted it silver with a cheap rattlecan, paint is still in good condition 10 years later.

TL VRX grilles won't fit the KW bar.
Also MadMax, the front and rear bars are different between the KL and KW.

I'm hopeless at spray painting. I'd just stuff it up.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the confirmation.

Lots of Magnas in this part of town, but nothing in the K or L/W range - so haven't spotted this difference.
Thanks for the clarification.

Well, it was a guestimate. And it made someone else jump in with the right answer. So no harm done. Now stop picking on me! lol

Agree with Michael 100%. It is the "guestimates" which then turn into 50 page threads and then end up costing people money and starting arguements

There is no need to post in every thread on AMC

Simple rule, if you dont know, dont answer.

OP, correct the KW has different bars to the KL.

Mits used the same bars on the KL to the TL, nit quite sure why they went back to the larger bars on the KW series but I was glad they did as the bars are something which make a Verada stand out from a Magna, people paid a lot more for the Verada so may as well make it stand out I guess.

Also for those curious, the grilles on a TL/KL will NOT fit a KW either, look the same but the KW grilles are 4mm longer probably to account for the extra overhang I guess

Now question has been answered time to close
