HZ Premier v GTS-Sandman Front Clips

[rallyvan]

Is someone able to tell me if their is a difference between a Premier front clip and a GTS-Sandman front clip? Obviously the grilles and headline surounds are different with the GTS-Sandman grill being an all black affair while the Premiers sport a "chrome" headlight surround with a grey coloured grille.

Cut outs for front spoiler - maybe!

On our yellow van we used a premier front clip to replace the original as it had been cut and shut very poorly...and we cut out the holes ready for the spoiler, if you look at our thread blackouts, or back from the soda blaster it will show pics of the new and old, if you can pick a difference let me know
PS they are getting a bit rare now plenty of single about not too many double...

an original premier headlight surround has a silver/grey insert with a chrome edge..
hz gts/sandman and premier/statesman are the same nose cone

there is an old wives tale that a premier nose cone is rounded on its nose and the statesman is squared off..this is not true,both premier and statesman share the same part number and are both squared off..
only single headlight nose cones are rounded on the edge..
also aftermarket premier/statesman nose cones made in taiwan is rounded off on the nose and thats where the old wives tail comes from..

This is all from memory (different parts for twin headlight clip):

Nose panel:
Premier, BO6, SL/E.
XX7, XU3, GTS (cutouts for air dam).
Deville (holes for badge).
Caprice (holes for upper grill piece).

Grille:
Premier, BO6.
XX7, XU3, GTS (different painted version of above).
SL/E.
Deville.
Caprice (same basic plastics as Deville, different paint and different stainless).

Bonnet:
All HZ except normal 1-tonner.
Caprice (holes for emblem).

Guards:
XU3, XX7.
BO6 (same as XU3, XX7 but has holes for RTS badges).
Premier (holes for Prem badges on rear lower and holes for side strips).
Deville (same as Premier except badge holes different).
SL/E (same as Premier except different badge holes).
Caprice (same as Premier but no badge holes).
GTS (fluted and GTS badge holes up high, rear).

Surrounds:
GTS, XX7, XU3 (black paint).
I think the rest are the same.

Support panel:
Should all be the same, except Premier and Deville will normally have A/C holes for plumbing. Be aware of differences with early HJ examples as there isn't much difference in twin supprts HJ-HZ bar early HJ was slightly different where the nosecone attaches up hidden under the guards.
