Is it possible to do that? I find that the V6 front grill and lights are much nicer looking. I belive it can be done with the rear lights. Any members here have tried that modification?

The only difference between a 4 and a 6 is the V6 badge. That's it.

Maybe you are refering to the differences between the TR and the TS, and then there's also different looks for the KR and KS Veradas, and the oversees Diamantes (US and Japanese different?)

different lights? the only TR/TS-KR/KS sold in aus with different light was the KS verada, and yes... all the body trim will interchange

Wrong and wrong....

The std TR magna had a grille with a plastic surround.

The Verada had a totally different grille and front bar.

The TR Exec had a grey garnish, the se had the reflector and the elite had the provision for boot lid brake/parking lights.

The EI KR was the same as the SE only with larger bars

The XI KR was the same as the Elite again with larger bars.

The TS/KS was very similar in the front end, same shape grille, jsut some had chrome surround. The rear end had the larger bar for the Verada and both EI and XI had the same rear garnish as the KR XI and orange front indicators. The KS Verada also had a small front bar.

This is just a quich summary though

thats sorta incorrect, with the TS and KS models they had a very different grille from each other. the normal TS magna had a rather basic look, whereas the KS verada had a more elegant/classy look to it, and was usually colour coded to suit the colour of the car, i think ur thinking of the KR still with the chrome surrounds around the grille

KR had not chrome at all, I have had several ei and xi's

The basic shape was similar in the ts/ks however there was a different look by the colour coding

I have a TR station wagon with chrome grill surround... dunno if thats been said already but yeah...

are any of the american diamante parts and ts parts interchangable with the tr? didnt quite understand that?

The entire front end can be swapped with the Jap one, the US one is LHD thus the head lights will not aim correctly.

Have a look at my avitar, it is the Jap Grille, headlights and indicators. I have left the Verada bar as the US DOHC have the same set up as my front and it is the eventual aim to get this done also.

and....
the lower control arms, the front rotors, the speedo goes to 220 etc etc

The front end, yes. The rear end should be good too. Doors won't be interchangable since they were frameless doors. Interior parts should also be interchangable.

Yes, the front end is all good, the rear end is different, the boot lid has the garnish go all the way to the bottom and I believe the boot lid is a little longer.

I have the diamante cup holder inside, check my pages for pics.

not sure if id go that far cause by then they would have popped the bonnet to check what engine it has.

If you were wanting it to handle better you would, I have done it a few times now and it makes an improvement as the lower control arms on the v6 are better designed at the pivot points.
