If there is already a topic, just inform me.

I m quite interested to know if parts that have different numbers (e.g. 8871- and FA01-), are actually the same or practically the same with little modifications.

Thanks

Same:
doors
hood (engine lid)
nose panel between headlights
headlight covers
grille over wipers
sunroof panel (1980+)

fr and rear fenders are similar, but not directly interchangeable without modification around bumper fitment

Careful about the sunroof. I've seen a lot of S1s in particular with weird aftermarket or dealer-installed sunroofs.
