Default Are all 80/90/Coupe B3/B4 wings the same?

As title basically, could I put B4 Cabrio front wings on my B3 90q for example?

I know there's a slight cosmetic differences, but will they physically bolt up?

Cheers!

they will physically bolt up yes, but there could be a few differences depending on what the wing is off.

Ie rubbing strip width, wheel arch extension, with/without side repeater.

Ive been told before that B4 cars have got more flared wheel arches. Coupe ones i believe are different than saloons?

Did your new car come from Taunton?

It did, yeah! Do you know the car?

I've picked up some cab bumpers and I need a pair of front wings so I just needed to know if the cab/coupe wings will match up

Don't suppose anyone knows if the cab rear bumper will fit a saloon also?

it was from ebay then If i hadnt of just bought a 80 2.6 quattro i would have had it.

Dont quote me but i think B4 cab/coupe wings are different!

i think the rear bumper should fit with some alterations.

I have just broken a 90 20v sport if you need parts

Yep! Can't believe I got it for £320!

Lucky for me his girlfriend lives in Birmingham so I picked it up from there, only 100 miles closer to me!

How about a pair of front wings?

And the nice 5 branch manifold?

I really should have bought it but unfortunatly i would have probably ended up breaking it, glad you have got it and keeping it on the road

Those parts have already gone im affraid, If you do find a B4 80 saloon wing fits, ive got 2 pairs of those.

Would've been a shame to break it, I've got grand plans for it

Are the wings nice and cheap?

I need just the passenger side red tail light too if you have one?

Be warned I'm the ultimate skinflint though so I won't pay much

the bump strips are different and im sure the wheels sit further forward on the b4 as the balljoints are different (i may be talking bollocks there though) and the wider arches then make the narrow rears look even narrower..
