Title: Is the Spyder door the same as Coupe door ?
Post by: 3cojones on July 29, 2019, 11:38:30 PM

Hi,

Could someone please enlighten me - is the Spyder door the same as Coupe door ?  In pics it looks a little shorter.

Regards,

Chris

This has been asked before if you do a search.

I think the doors are the same, but the window frame is different, so they are not directly transferable.

The lower doors are the same but the rear of the top frame is angle forward. A decent body shop can convert Coupe doors to Spyder doors if you give them both. I had a pair of new Coupe doors from Italy converted.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for this, that's good to know. It's just the door card compatibility I was interested in so it looks like good news.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for posting this, now it all makes sense - the door looked similar but something was different. It's just the door card compatibility I was interested in so my question has been answered.  Fortunately both of my doors are solid but I will think about sourcing some good Spyder or Coupe doors for the future as I intend on keeping my car for years to come.
