[joe20vt]

I have just got a '88 205 gti for my next project.
I need a new door and have been oferd one from a 3dr 309, are these the same size/fitment?
Thanks

309 is a much bigger car and so is the door.

The door cards fit though!

I think the doors will fit, as this is taken from a history of Peugeot book I have: "Originally it was supposed to be a 3 body version of the 205, but peugeot decided to turn it into a 100% new model, using the doors of the 205 to save about Ff1,000,000 in designing and manufacturing."

Different and different part nos. on the Pug parts CD - however the door cards do fit!

[Mikey G]

I'm sure my 309 doors were bigger than 205 ones, but looking at pictures you never know!

[joe20vt]

It's the fact that the door cards fit that led me to my money saving plan! More thinking needed

The door cards fit but that is only the internal part of the door that is in the cabin. The external dimensions are different and will not fit - unless you slam the door really hard. I've got a 205 drivers door if you need one.

The 3 door doors with the 205 and 309 ARE different. However, the 5 door equivalents are the same. Weird eh?
