Anyone know if you can get these chrome fronts in Australia? Found this somewhere, I think they said it was in Germany or Switzerland, sold as a Sigma. Looks awesome! Very BMW.

thats just the dimante front end (US). correct me if im wrong. i believe it was a sigma as well

They have them. That's where I got mine from

Aah, OK, I was just cruising the web then and came to the indicated conclusion, that it's a diamante front...
So how much does something like that go for? Obviously I'd need to get verada parabolics as well at some stage (very low on cash at the moment). And I'll have to GIMP some photos together to see if it would work on my car or not...
Thanks for the info, good to see you can get them "locally"

No the Verada parabolics do not fit with that grille.

The diamante lights are smaller in height so the grille can go around them. The grille is one piece that goes around the lights and indicators.

All up the front cost me about 250-300 bucks includign lights and postage

heheh it cost me $250 also but i picked it up myself

There are alot of import wreckers out there that has them, u just goto ask for a magna/verada front end (most of them dont even know its called a Diamante oversea's) :P

Really? $250-300? I thought just verada lights by themselves are like $300? Apart from size, is there much difference between the verada and diamante lights? (I remember that someone said the verada parabolics are supposedly a lot better than the standard lights)

yea the verada lights (parabolics) are tons better. Cause the glass is clear and not frosted. and the reflective material inside is alot higher quality, it makes it way better for night driving. better distance and periphial vision (if thats how its spelt)..

made a world of difference when i swapped over to parabolics. I paid 450 for my set, with the amber indicators.. I dont know how much you'll be paying for a set. Depends on how much you look into it i suppose.

As for the Diamante end, they do look good, hard to find in good condition. But well worth it. Apparantly though the lights on the Diamante front are not as good as the parabolics though. Clarity-wise, at night..
