A “P” reg type 2 shell? I thought the type 2 shell change over was only on the face lift (1997 “R” reg onwards).

You learn something every day

Anyway... You can use either setup on either shell. But you need to change the lot, meaning… the lower arm, the tie bar and lower cross member fitting, and ball joint as you can’t mix and match them. And bear in mind that the tie bar bushes differ between early and late setups too.
