is there any differences between them for modding parts in particular lights front and rear and suspension, i know if i want a bodykit i would have to chop and extend to make it fit etc but i dont know much other than the kit's.
also do u think it is worth modding a 5 door as ive got a 1.4 8v one and i dont see any 5 doors being modded, should i just tidy it up and sell it on and buy a 16v 3 door and waste my money on one of them insted??

bodywork wise, only the rear lights/spoiler would be different for a bodykit/ tart up

think the skirts still fit, as the wheelbase is the same iirc

Many people dislike 5dr modding. If done well they can look nice, but if you rush things they look gash.

If you have a kit with new or wide arches, they usually need modding for the extra door

Although I do like how mine looked and the fact it was 'different', I'm having major problems selling that I know I wouldn't have if I had the same engine and parts on a 3dr...

It's up to you, but if you would prefer a 3 door then buy one

Mine looked like the pics here...
