Are V6 & VSX front fenders interchangeable?

My VSX is in good nick, not so the V^ & I want to swap the fenders & doors. the fenders "seem" to be a little wider, ( the wheels are a larger size so I assume they need more space) does any one know if they ( & the doors) are interchangeable ? Is it a big job?

Just thought I'd throw that in to fly the Ozzie flag!

Can't answer your query but that is a very dynamic photo. One of yours?

I doubt your 95 VSX will have the right front end, unless its a 2.1TD or TCT?

The V6 has a winder front end, wider/more flared wheel arches and a front bumper to suit them and with a deeper lower grill. The V6 (and 2.1s and TCTs) have a wider front track so the extra body width is needed.

The parts should fit but it wont look right

I have a smidge of "destress" time this weekend after 12 hours of concreting yesterday. Ping me if you want another set of eyes on the situation.

Thanks mate,.. you may have noticed I am trying to get the matrix in... that is more important than the fenders, see other post... it needs to go IN - UP & ACROSS 20mm. I just can not do it by pushing. IS there another locating bolt on the left? If there is I'll just pull all that stuff off from in the engine bay & undo that bolt ( I have to reconnect the two pipes anyway)... then I would not need another set of eyes. If there is not another bolt, YES please.... Sunday, home all day.

much appreciated.. I have taken the coolant tank off & can see the "other " bolt,.. it is near impossible to get at without removing al the hydraulic pipes... look forward to your call... an hour should do it... as long as I can get it relocated & the coolant pipes connected in the correct way,.. I can do the rest..
