Title: Are the i30 front panels the same for hatch and wagon?
Post by: Pnut on May 15, 2023, 01:58:57

So my father borrowed the wifes car and managed to drive into the gate just behind the front wheel... dont ask. One of the local breakers yards has a 2009 i30 DC81 wagon of similar colour, do they share the same front fenders as the 2011 FD hatch?

Do you need to take the door off to get the front fender (wheel arch) off?
