ARE THEY ALL THE SAME?

SPECIFICALLY, IS THE CABRIO HOOD THE SAME AS A 2 DOOR OR 4 DOOR?

All the same.

American vs. English

Hood = Bonnet

Trunk = Boot

but confusing when he mentioned Cabrio hood, i.e the fabric bit over where one would sit!!

so to answer your question in both respects

A: I have never seen a four door cab (unless you count the hood and trunk as doors!! but then you should count the glove box, fuel (gas) filler door, cabrio hood enclosure door)

B: All E30 hoods are the same either four door or 2 door (and the only common body panel with the M3, that goes for the metal bit over the engine and the fabric bit over the seats!)

he he he

my question was would a hard top bonnet fit on a cabrio..... and if it did....did it matter if the bonnet came off of a 4 door or a 2 door hardtop........

i am looking for a bonnet for my cabrio..... just need to know if the bonnet for a cabrio is a cabrio only part......



is that better? :cool:
