Righty, I have been told that the rear doors on a touring are different from a four door model, that I believe, so if I need a rear arch repair where can I get one from?
Also I need a rear valence for a touring, I am having problems finding the repair sections from a stockist like Hadrians, can anyone help me? the OEM pages claim that they no longer are available, and I need help.....

rear doors are different fronts are the same.

i beleive the arch repair pannel is the same though, think its just the glass bit of the door that is different.

the rear valance should be the same as on all e30s.

awaiting correction. :duck:

Mark ,


Ive used this company before.

http://www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk/.

They do replacement arches and panels for ours. Only full panels that you have to butcher though.!!!

Also the link to hadrians , but i think you've already been here!!
