S3 8p facelift door fit pre facelift??

Featured Replies

As the title says 

 

3 door , doors 

 

are they the same shape/fitment ?

I know the handles and mirrors are different but that’s not a concern 

I need a white door and can only find facelift doors in good condition 

Apologies for contra opinion, but it’s not unusual for door mechanisms and electrical plug connectors to motors and locks to be different from year to year, within the same model range, leave alone from pre to post facelifts. 
In my book, I would move forward with extreme caution, and probably accept a different colour door from your model year and get it sprayed - at some point, you could regret not doing that. On the other hand, it might all work out, but between those two will be a lot of homework.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi thanks for the reply’s guys 

if I was to get a facelift door I would completely strip it of all wiring and re fit the old  mirrors to it and wiring harness and door modules 

 

I’ll have to keep looking into it …

That's right, definitely keep the original for module etc. We've seen numerous cases where people swap doors over and not the original module and it causes problems with the central locking

Iv just looked at a neighbour’s facelift door and the handles are 1 piece and longer then pre facelift ones 

would look odd doing just one side …
