_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Hey guys! I know some of the basic stuff you can obviously see, like the rear suspension is more like E30 etc compared to normal E36, dashboard different etc Am interested to know what the front panels/bumper/bonnet/lights etc are cross compatible with, are they E36 Ti specific, or same as coupe etc? What about doors? Wikipedia suggests they are the same from the A pillar forward as a sedan, but then other sources disagree etc Cheers! Edit: not sure what year this car is, but has airbag and EWS so probably a later one Edited June 7, 2014 by _Ethrty-Andy_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheyne 17 Report post Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) According to the part numbers the bonnet, front wings etc are the same as the sedan/touring, not the coupe. The doors are specific to the Compacts. Edited June 8, 2014 by Cheyne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
