Toying with the Idea of putting The Diamante Bumper on.
Ironically it only has 1 figlight on, leaving the other side perfect for CAI Tubing.
Of course i'd have to get it painted and take off the nudgebar
Pic of it is similar to this one (Wagon on left)
(I think this was of TZABOY's old car and not sure whos the other is....If you want me to delete the image Please send me a PM)

ALSO - Does anyone know if that lip on it makes it longer then the original Bumper Bar? I.e. Car will sit lower in the front?

From memory the Diamante bar with the lip will sit lower than the stock TR/TS bar. But I'm not 100% sure.

I like your car with the nudge bar, but the Diamante Bar with the lip looks hot!


*edit* Hang on Tuffy, if you have the Diamante bar, why don't you measure it ?

Gives ya something to do to kill some time over the holidays :P.
Ssv skirts would look nice with it, but yes they are overpriced. No one else makes skirts that i know of so you may not have a choice (if you want skirts).

No way paul i can't believe you're going to take off the nudge bar finally! WOOOOOO *throws confetti on you* Take it off!!
Put that diamante front bar on.

The series I & II diamante front bar is a bit lower to the ground than the stock bar, this is because of the front lip.
Does this worry you? Hehe I reckon it would look super.

As you know, mine has two front OEM lip extensions.

Here's a pic of my car and a good mate of mine from diamante owners club, his sigma with series I front bar.
I love the series I front bar it looks tough :D

P.S PLEASSSSE take off the nudge bar :pray:

The lip does not sit any lower. I've had them on and off numerous times and it makes no difference.

True, it seems that way. However, firstly you measured from the top of the rim to show a comparison point, instead of the wheel arch which would indicate ride height (more useful) than rim size. Secondly that diamante looks to have a lip extension on it, akin to Dimi's diamante (Keeping in mind of course that Dimi has TWO extensions, as opposed to 1 extension ;) )

Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Different bar to the first pic in this thread...I reposted it to show you, the one on the left is the same bar as what I have.

The lip on the square lighted diamante bar is more like a cover than an extension. It sits on the bar rather than under it. Hence why it does not sit any lower.

Here is what it looks like without it:

It just covers up the "flare" at the very bottom of the bar.

So without the series I lip, it's the same length to the ground? Or with the lip? :confused:

Wow, Thats really super duper gay!

Tell me about it aye! Looks beefy :D

Basically, what your gawking at is the jap diamante series I/euro sigma series I extension lip, with the small removable slots that can be removed depending on your choice of *aerodynamics*
These are different to your standard front Diamante lip extensions because they are bigger and come from the top of the range Diamante as an Option. So sourcing these will take patience and a lot of calling around! :rant:
Personally, I prefer the slots in place, as with the slots out, it makes the lip look like it was broken or something.

Anyhow, these lips can be sourced from jap wreckers. You'll have to ask for the diamante front or 1991-1993 Sigma front bar or lip.
For series I you'll be asking for 1991-1993. Series II parts will be 1994-1995 :D

As you can see in these photos attached:

Standard TS bar with Diamante/Sigma Series I extension lip
Series I Diamante bar with Series 1 Diamante/Sigma extension lip
Series I Diamante bar without lip
Series I Diamante bar with Series 1 Diamante/Sigma extension lip. Slots taken out. Yuk :sick:


Btw Paul, nice avatar! Damn, looks like Gran Turismo 4 photo shoot :)

The 1st two shots look awesome...
Thanks for the Tips Dood...Looks like ill have to start ringing around wreckers to see what i can get.
What did you pay for yours?
Also another question.
Did any of these cars come out with any factory sideskirts or rear lips? I dont think ive seen any but worth a try eh..

Lucid-_-Magna
06-01-2007, 06:48 PM
Thats a good point, does the bumper tie in with the original bumpers well? would be interested how your search goes TUFFTR so let us know how it goes :)

dimi108
06-01-2007, 11:12 PM
Yeah paul keep us updated on this! And let us know when you come across one and how much they are going for.
I think these extension lips would be a great add on to a TS project :thumbsup:

Lucid, as you can see in the 3rd photo, the car without the extension lip has small slots in the original TS bumper. This is where the lip would lock into place.
Without these slots in our Aussie front bar's, your options would be either drilling the extension lip from under it onto the stock TS bar, or just use tarzan's grip glue to secure it in place!
Personally, i'd drill it on! No chance i'll be taking it off if i did come across one! Hehe :D

Paul, the top of the range diamante's and sigma's didn't come with any option for side skirts or rear pods :cry:

Paul,

you know my feelings towards that nudge bar.... and while you are in the mood of removing things, I reckon the wing should go next :P

Lucid-_-Magna
07-01-2007, 01:02 PM
Are you insane! lol as much as the nudge bar is cool i can see reason for removing it, but the wing is cool, so different so yeah leave it! or sell it to me lol :D
