Confusion with the technical data.

Differences 301 and 303


Other hood forum (= “embossments “) and other fender form (see headlight corners)


Tail lamps and tail sheet metal (tail lamps are not exchangeable between 301 and 303)


Differently, the 301 a Zierblech between front sheet metal has bumpers and fenders and
Bumper, turn signal 301 is split in parking light and turn signal contrary to the 303 with….
