wwing differences

Evening folks.

sorry if this is in the wrong section.

right, i've been looking for a new drivers side wingafter the wind blew the gate into yesterday & left it with a nice dent

now i've been offered a brand new (genuine bmw part) front wing still wrapped up, but it's for a pre facelift model & it doesnt have the hole for the indicator,

& what i'd like to know is there any major difference between a pre & post facelift wing? (aside from one has the indicator hole & one doesnt)

I can soon cut the hole to size if I can use the wing.

as for the price well lets just say i'm close to taking his hand off lol.

so, can I use it? Yes or no??

Cabs are the only different wings IIRC, as for the indicator hole only the VERY early car had side repeater delete and it was in 1983 this changed as far as I know

Ceck it is defo genuine as genuine wings are NLA now I believe

Euro spec cars also had the 'wing repeater delete'.....

The wing you have been offered should fit up fine.

BMW will supply an 'approved' new wing,but the fit is not as good as it should be.

Might aswell just buy your own from carz2 (or equivalent) then without dealer tax

the wing is genuine as the guy bought it ages ago but din't need it in the end.
