Hi folks. My 2 door 85 323 needs a new bonnet and front wings. I am looking to buy good used items rather than pattern parts. I don't want to get the wrong ones. Can you help me? Do 4 door wings and bonnet fit the the 2 door? Anyone got any for sale? I am also going to try and weld in new rear arches. Any tips and advice? Thanks jed

The bonnets are the same across the whole range, and the same goes for front wings too- the only exceptions being cabriolet front wings won't fit other cars due to their deeper rear/lower section to go with the cabby's reinforced sills. And very early wings will be missing the hole for the indicator aft of the wheelarch.
