Restyle vs. pre-restyle part mismatches in repairs

Tags: #restyle · #dorest

A post-accident repair was delayed by over 1.5 months because the shop ordered a pre-restyle ("дорест") rear door (5-door cargo area) for a vehicle that was actually the restyle version. Restyle and pre-restyle models have different door specifications, so the part didn't fit¹²³. Multiple body parts were affected in the original collision: fenders, bumper, hood, and left headlight⁴⁵⁶. Lesson: repair shops can make part-procurement errors specifically around the restyle/pre-restyle distinction, which creates additional delays and vehicle downtime — double-check that any ordered body part matches your exact generation before repair work proceeds⁷⁸⁹.
