190 Body Panels

Hi,

Were the early 190's up to around 1988 without the
body panels [just the lower side strip and strip along the
bottom of the 4 doors] the evolution to the later
versions which have the full panels ?

i.e. if you took the 4 door panels off you could
retro fit the early strips as the existing holes etc
would be correct for clip fixings etc /

Or, you need to custom fit the strips etc ?

Seems there is conflicting views ?

Any help or comments appreciated.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

So in essence you require the strips and
clips for each, and the door holes support either.

Many thanks,

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Hi,

Will this not leave the lower section of the post facelift doors with holes?
That is if you only use the upper fixings to attach the strips?

Hi,

Might be wrong but I thought there was
a lower strip as well ?

Exactly the lower strips are also needed with its clips of course and do not forget that the rear bumper will be not aligned cause is wider than the preface one

dealer wings are now eyewateringly expensive. Finding used wings in good condition is more viable.
