IX Difference

[maxel]

Is there any difference regarding the body?

[Alex]

they have wider arches i know that much

[leeparkes]

i think the shell is the same but the ix has side skirts that go over the wheel arches too.

[maxel]

Someone told me struts were more forward?

[Alex]

umm i think ive heard something like that too

i think the shell might be different too but i could be wrong

[evostormm]

Front strut towers (inner wings) are completely different.

[Bob_S]

shell is the same I believe but with side skirts and arch covers

the front struts are different also the subframe I think

[old_skool]

Lots of differences, mainly the front end and strut towers, chassis rails etc. Engine subframe is completely alien to other models, as is the whole front end suspension setup etc. Even the wheel offsets are specific. Rear end is marginally the same albeit with the addition of vented rear discs. As stated, the iX runs widened arches.

As Damo says, the shells are different - all at the front end.....

Arch's & sills are merely a bodykit......

You can see the difference in strut geometry here
