So I thought I would be awesome and save the fuel door from my BD to put on the waggy, and it turns out that although they LOOK they same, they're clearly not.

The wagon fuel door has an extremely slight angle on the rear vertical side, and if you make the mistake I did of not slowly test fitting, you'll slam the sedan fuel door shut after mounting it and then find that it's jammed close in the body cavity...thus requiring some deft usage of a screwdriver to pry the door back out of the body while not damaging paint. :roll:

Cliff Notes: wagons have different fuel doors to sedans.

Well shit that's actually really useful to know..I'm looking into getting a replacement for my dented fuel door and was just going to get either a sedan or wagon one because I thought they were the same.

If you want a sedan one, I have one for sale... :)

Haha, it's okay, I need a silver one, but thanks.
