Door changes in 1987

[davemar 16]

I'm just looking at 205 GTi doors and looking at the part numbers they change in 1987 (9002.81 pre-87, 9002.83 post-87 for LH door). Does anyone know what the actual differences are with the doors, and if an earlier one would fit on a later car?

There is a difference where the door mirror mounts and maybe where the lock pin comes through.

 

To be honest just get the right door for the age of the car.

OK, I wondered whether it was something that could be ignored, or maybe a hole or two drilling out.
