Donor Car for my GTi ??

[pugfrank 14 1 Cars]

I am looking to get a donor car for my 1988 1600 GTi re commission Im planning very soon.  Would a 1993 205 Xl Auto 1600 3door be a good vehicle?

 

Would items like bonnet, boot lid, front doors etc be a straight swap to my GTI?

 

Is it the same shell?

rear arches are different, inner and outer, doors wont have the trim rivets, tailgate wont have spoiler holes

think the front quarters are also narrower than the GTi

and the front and rear bumpers are narrower than the GTi ones

That is incorrect
