Hi all,

I am looking into repairing my n/s arch on a pre-facelift 2door. Is the inner arch, and then presumably the outer arch, the same for a pre-facelift saloon and convertible?

I think I'm right in saying the pre-facelift has different arches to the facelift (I also seem to remeber reading they had were different because they used the convertible ones).

Cheers

Other way around....
All cabbie's and facelift saloon's use the lower arch profile.

Not too sure if the inner is different or not,unless the inner is totally buggered,most seem to patch them up,guess it depends on how bad,and how much you want to spend!

Ok cheers so a pre-facelift cabbie will be no good as its effectively a facelift. Inner wing needs doing as well really...although its like finding rocking horse shit...
