Might be an obvious question, but..
Is the chassis on 5 door 206's longer than 3 doors?

The length of the 5 doors are smaller, the chassis is the same

I think it's the fact that the doors are shorter gives them the appearance they have a longer chassis. Funny I actually saw a 5dr yesterday and thought it looked longer.

I think there is a slight difference in length depending if sport or non sport bumpers are fitted. If Grand Tourisme bumpers are fitted, then there is a noticeable difference since you look like you're driving around with a park bench strapped to the front and back of the car

I was interested in finding out if the two chassis were differant sizes as I would like to replace the exhaust on my 5 door (S)
Ive seen one I want, second hand, from a 3 door and wanted to know if it would be differant lengths.
Thanks..
