Congrats on the purchase! Looks sweet!

Just a quick note: It's KR, not TR ;)

K = Verada
T = Magna

EG: TR Magna, KR Verada ;)

Just so you know from now on lol

You'll soon learn! :D Everyones pretty friendly around here.

I've got the Diamante front aswell on my kr verada but with the F12a front bumper bar (round driving lights, slightly different design) and you have the F17a front bumber bar.

Take pictures of your inside, wonder if they put in any of the imported diamante parts in the interior.

Thanks for the info about the front, like I said, I dont know much. All I do know is that I like it, and its better than my last car.

Interior wise, I doubt there are any other Diamante parts in there, not that I would know the difference but I know the front was put on after the other front was damaged.


Not a very good pic, but I did take it looking thru the window

It's completely standard. Well done though, looks clean considering they're getting 10 + years old.

Very sexy car mate! :D 8)

So where abouts in melb are you anyway? (Sorry if you'd answered this q somewhere else, couldn't find the answer if u did :))

The front end is awesome :D
Just a quick q, how are the fog lights wired in? (wheres the switch to turn em on?) Just a bit curious, as I want that front bar (square driving lights look awesome in it!) but wanted some factory switching as far as an added switch on the indicator stalk (like the 3rd gen magnas/veradas have).

Looks very neat and tidy my friend.

Going slighty off the track, whats this about an F12 and an F17 front bar??? The front bar that he has on his car. Is that an import front bar??? I've seen that bar once on a Burgandy wagon with the diamante front as well. If anyone knows where i can get that front bar from, plz let me know!!!

Just rang up insurance for the car, some of the companys wouldnt insure it because

a) They didnt know what a Diamante front was
b) They classed it as a modification and refused to insure it.

All I wanted was 3rd party with Fire & Theft, market car value was betweek $7,200 and $8,300.

Anyway, ended up getting insurance with RACV who said the Diamante front was from NZ??? Anyway, their aware of it and now it aint my problem :P
