i'm not 100% sure , but your parabolics with HID may not be legal. check with the state road rules first

Power folding mirrors fit, have them on mine.

some JDM mirrors also come with built in heaters , for winter demisting.

I have these in my car. You will need to PM me on this.

JDM MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE F31A OEM GRILLES (F31A02)
These will fit a TH downwards bonnet

Different interior pieces?
Mostly rear door ashtrays, in your case, KH instruments, illuminated sunvisors, tiptronic, and foot handbrake. Oh and pedantics will note chome surround rings on speaker grills.
Any other ideas?

Cheers guys :)

Others include auto headlights and wipers (PM me for details on this, I have this in my car using the JDM 'Auto' headlight stalk), memory seats, Nardi steering wheel & shifter, and buttons for the boot and fuel on the door.

Alot of that is std in XI cars.

Mike.

Isn't the hand brake mounted in the dash to the lower left of the steering wheel. Or is that the telescopic steering wheel controls?

That is the release handle. And yes it is dash mounted.

The steering wheel controls are on the column under the wiper stalk.

Thanks for all the replys guys :) Im sure this thread will help others with same ideas!

JDM versions also have powered telscopic steering wheel colomns and the rear window has built in airial and window wiper/washer.

Wow we missed out on alot of great features in australia. .

I've had my HIDs in my plastic parabolics for nearly a year and they've been fine. Your standard bulbs are 50w, whereas HIDs are 35w or 55w (for the sake of other motorists, I'd at least stick to 35w in your low beams). So they don't actually draw any more power (and produce any more heat), they're just a lot more efficient than a standard halogen bulb.

Cheers mate :) Have a set on the way so hope to put them in soon with angel eyes and 5000k HID's

some where power steering column, but not many from what i see here in nz. My 30M is still manual adjust.

Yeah it was a factory special equipment with MICS (if the car has this it will have the power seat memory switch on the drivers door)

Generally only SE spec cars have it optioned (30R-SE or 25V-SE) and often it comes with the radar cruise control.

Oh, and as we missed out on most of this stuff, the Diamantes were alot higher priced to begin with. So we got the advantage ofa car that has core engineering of a grade or 2 higher than what would otherwise be the case. This is why MMAL were able to get away with selling essentially the same body structure for 9 years

When I updated my insurance policy to include the folding mirrors, I told them they were a std fitment on the JDM model cars and gave them the part numbers. They we're more than happy to include it as a genuine Mitsu accessory.

Thats awesome! I dont use my folding mirrors much, but its good to have the option!
