    UK S2 owners - photo and measurement request

    Howdy y'all!

    I'm hoping one of you fine S2 owners from the UK can help me out. I'm looking for photos and measurements of the holes in the fenders (wings?) for the side repeaters. I'd like to replicate these in my US-spec car and be as close to factory as possible. Thanks!

    Coupe or saloon? B3 or B4? They're different...

      I'll be mounting Coupe fenders on a B3 sedan.

      To satisfy my curiosity, what's different between them?

        Coupe are all the same as they are all B3 platform.
        B3 Vs B4 Sedan are very different, and Coupe Vs B4 sedan are different again.
        I would imagine for you it would be easier to fit B4 sedan/avant bits?

          Well, I have both Coupe and B4 sedan fenders at my disposal. I'd prefer to use the Coupe fenders as the B4 fenders have some minor damage.

          I've been using Google image search trying to find photos of the two to compare, but most shots are at an angle and many S2s don't even have the side repeaters.

            LHD don't have them as they are not mandatory in most of Europe. In the UK you must have visible side repeater viewable from IIRC 30deg from the side.
            Be aware that you will find the door mouldings and everything is different from coupe to sedan, so you might be letting yourself in for a lot more work by using the coupe parts

              I'm aware of the physical differences in Coupe/B3/B4 fenders and trim, etc. I am interested in adding OEM repeaters or clear versions of OEM repeaters in as close to the factory location as possible. I thought you meant the repeaters themselves and their locations on Coupe/B3/B4 were different...

                In that case easy I will post the measurements tomorrow as my wings (fenders) are currently off the car with the repeaters out too.

                  Excellent! Thank you

                  The links in the stickied thread about clear repeaters are all old and don't work. Anyone have a link for OEM-style replacements?
