Default fiesta mk4 and mk3 differences

Hi does anyone know if the floor pan of the mk3 and mk4 is different? I need to get some parts but mk3 floor pans parts are hard to come by, and wanted to know if i can use parts from a mk4

thanks

different shaped bumpers (rounder on the mk4) is the main difference as far as i know and the dash i think is different as well

Well, put it this way a mk 3.5 fiesta carpet will not fit a mk 3 so there must be differences between the Mk3 and 4.

Im no expert from what i understand the main differences are reinforcements to the front cross member area, forsafety and handling perposes...

There is a guy on here that has fitted a mk5 floor pan on his mk 3.5 (ill try and find the thread, makes a good read!)

Like i say, im no expert, but thats my understanding!
