Replacement body parts

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I've damaged OSF door, wing fender and a bit of the bonnet. The bonnet I'm not so fussed about as should be a small repair but the door and wing will be a big job and I'm considering replacement. I've found that the wing will not fit as it's a longer panel but I believe a D3 door will fit. The main reason for doing this is because the vehicle is Buckingham Blue which seems to be like rocking horse ___ in D4s and more common in D3s. If I purchase and fit a D3 door. Would a D4 door card fit in and go back in the same way I take it out from the D4?

This is all part of the process of me working out whether I can do this fix myself or it needs to be a professional (I'm not completely useless but I'm good with things that go back how they came out).

Bonus points for anyone that happens to have a D3/4 Buckingham Blue OSF door lying around Very Happy

PANELS

HI there .....

All the D3 panels will fit a d4 as there the same body shell ......
d4 wings are slightly diff than the d3s but can be cut down to fit but will need repaintin on the headlight edge .
D4 wings arnt that dear to buy 2nd hand...

Leave the hinges on the body shell and take the door off with its bit off the hinge left on 8 or 10 mm bolt hold them together /lift it up off the spline /its a heavy door by the way if not stripped of all the bits.

D4 door cards ect fit d3 doors as there the same .



Good luck

Most unusual for a D4 to be Buckingham Blue……Is that what is on the underbonnet slam panel data plate? LR don’t do retrospective colours, it’s current colours, or lump it usually Laughing

@disco5 thanks, that's really useful. I'll put a bale under it and ask someone to give a hand. @DN I thought it seemed odd that I couldn't find any but I was looking at panel that was Loire blue and asked the breaker to check the paint code of my vehicle and they told me it was 796, I will check this dataplate as I didn't think to do that Embarassed

Just checked, its Buckingham. It's a commercial so could be using up old stores?

Ah, ok, as it’s a Commercial, sounds feasible for JLR Laughing Thumbs Up
