Did doors or wing mirrors ever change?

Hey guys, my first parts question since returning! I need to get a new pass door and mirror for the corrado. Did the shape etc ever change during production or differ from model to model? Wondering if any door will do or if I need to be looking age/vr specific.

Many thank

Paul

The door exteriors are all the same,internally only differ on a small bracket(s) which are all interchangeable. I have an early and late fitted on my car !

Mirrors are all the same

Some man thanks , the search widens then!

being pedantic, some door mirrors have different sized connectors to the glass heating element, so the loom and glass varies slightly.

the doors vary a bit more too, late doors have side impact bars which can't really be retrofitted to early doors.

I have the chance of panels from a G plate 16v car. Is there anything I couldn't use for my M plate vr? I know the bonnet is different but anything else?

Wings, slam panel and front and rear crossmembers, doors have no impact bars, but the tailgates are the same :)

Thanks for the info again! Were the wing and door changes model or age related? Wondering if I should be looking for an old vr or a newer car (not vr).

Cheers again !

All VR6 cars had the later wings and bonnet, they were bought in for summer 1992 to accommodate the wider track and higher engine in the VR6, but any other 4 cylinder car from 1992 will have the same panels as they all updated at that time, you might fine the odd J plate with late panels too.

Intermediate (fitted both early and late)
