New Doors and Paint - Questions...

[ittim]

I posted this in the problems area but I think maybe I should have posted here.

Hope someone can help...

I've just bought the missus a 2001 Saxo Forte but its in a bit of a mess. The two N/S doors both have dents in them. (its a 5 door)

I've found a guy who is breaking a 1996 Saxo in what appears to be the same colour so my questions are as follows...

Will the doors on a 96 model be the same as a 2001 (Y) model?
I've heared that there was only ever one metalic blue colour used on Saxo's - both appear to be metalic blue what are the chances of it being the same blue?

and also how easy are they to swap? someone mentioned a need for some welding?

thanks for reading

no welding req they bolt on, doors should be the same

will it be easy enough to swap the lock?

if the infor is of any use to anyone...

there is a minor difference between a Mk1 and Mk2 door.

The Mk2 door has a little lip on the hinge bracket where as the Mk1 version does not. This means when a MK1 door is put on a Mk2 Saxo the door can only open about a foot.

I shall be using an angle grinder to 'modify' the hinge tonight so it shouldnt be a major problem.
