Where are you located. Seems an odd question but we don't know which country you may live.

I think two door cars have different doors to four door cars. Then there is the B post etc etc.

You cannot change them, the front doors are different sizes and the body structure is different

As noted, the doors and body are completely different. I can't think of a less sensible modification anyway. The rear doors give much better access, and the front doors, being shorter, can open in a narrower gap. If you want a 2-door, then sell the 4-door to a good home and buy another car.

I agree, 4 door front units are quite a bit smaller than the doors fitted to 2 door and traveller models and cannot be interchanged with 2 door cars. :D
