How to tell the difference between a Narrow Body and a Wide Body
If you don’t have a tape measure to hand then the two most visual differences between a narrow and wide body car are around the rear lights and also the shoulder panel next to the seat.
Starting with the shoulder panel, a narrow car will have a flat, vertical internal panel next to your shoulder. On a wide body car the GRP tub is extended into the cockpit to create a scalloped or chamfered panel to give more shoulder room.
Th
Narrow Low-Line or Hi-Line?
The term Low-Line and High-Line typically refers to the height of the bonnet and nose with a Low-Line being approximately 2” lower than a High-Line.
The low-line is quite identifiable when viewed side on and looking at the angle of the bonnet relative to the nose.
In comparison the High-Line has a much more collinear profile curve from the bonnet to the nose.
All narrows have a flat flange on the nose to accept the bonnet.
