I've replaced my KR Verada Xi with a TJ Magna VR-X hence I will be selling the Verada.

There's something I need cleared up first though. The front end on the Verada is not the standard one and I am suspecting it could be a Diamante front end. It's something that has always puzzled me but I have never cleared it up. The guy at Mitsubishi said it was a Japanese/imported front end.

I was hoping you guys could solve the mystery.

Does the front end in the picture look familiar to anyone?

i have just put that exact front bar on my car.
yeh it is off a diamonte. here is mine

Cool. Thanks for clearing up the mystery.
I reckon it makes the car look very cool/sporty. Better than the standard Veranda fronts.

Diamantes are from New Zealand, right? :confused:

Oh I so want that front bar. It's a pity i'm not prepared to buy the whole car off you.

Diamante's are exported Veradas, you'll find them in a few places around the world, including New Zealand, Japan, Russia and the US.


EDIT: Actually I don't know if they are exported, but anyway its what they call Magna's overseas

Thanks for the info.

Wish I could help you with the front end but I really want to sell the whole car.

Someone had told me earlier that it could have been Japanese.

Funny, I only noticed it after I took the photo. Have to have a better look at the car.

Got it from AAA as you said. bloke said that you had been there before. Pretty pissed off with it actually cause i went to my panel beater afterwards with it and he said that it had been in a prang before so it might be out of wack. Gonna put it on my this wknd to see if it's straight. if it is well all good, if it's not it's gonna cost me a ****load to fix and i know that AAA won't give me my money back

just unbolt the frame part and bolt your original 1 on the bar, if u cant see a big dent in the plastic one then its all good,
