Hello, pardon my ignorance but I don't have much experience with coupes and verts (I have a 4-door). What are the differences between coupe and cabrio door panels (front and rear)? If they are different, can they still be interchanged? Thanks.

The rears cant be changed. The fronts from vert to coupe can be changed with a little work.
On the top of the door card for for a vert its straight all the way across. on the coupe there is a little cut out for the pillar on the door.
So when putting the vert panels on a coupe you need to pull the material back in the corner and trim the fiber board under and reglue the material then install. -
Thanks for information. Another dumb question, how do the rear door cards differ? Can the material from a vert be swapped into the rear door cards of a coupe, or are they totally different shapes? Thanks again.sigpic

The rears have totally different shape."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

So, coupe door cards won't look right on a vert because the coupe panels have a cut-out for the pillar? Or is it unnoticeable?sigpic

Just look at an interior picture of both and it will soon make sense as to why they won't work

I have coupe front door cards on my vert. It's not perfect but it works and I have never had a comment from someone who noticed. It wouldn't be hard to make unnoticeable.Comment
