Difference between S4 and S5 parts

Post by ian65 »

Anyone know if S4 and S5 front wings are the same? Are they inter-changeable?

I was always under the impression the wings are interchangeable but the trim moldings are a different profile

Just to note, things are a bit simpler in the UK, as the UK only got the S4 EGI and the S5 TII.

Other markets had S4 and S5 EGI as well as S4T and S5T.

Verts and hard tops are specced different again.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......

Hi folks,

Though I would reply here rather than clutter with a new thread.

I've found a pair of N/A wings which seem good condition, does anyone know if they are the same as the convertible wings? My intention is to fit to fit them to my project FC vert.

I know there may be trip differences but I have the old trim so that's not an issue.

Not 100% Rich, but I think a lot of parts are different from S4 - S5 & also between N/A / CoupeTII / Vert, especially body panels?

I had a quick look on the parts microfiche, it lists the two american body styles, coupe and convertible but looks like only one wing part listed.

I was hoping it was the same; the s4-s5 issue is just sticky trim really. There doesn't seem to be any obvious bulge difference etc between them in photos.
