Apologies if this is a daft question but is the wing design for pre and post facelift e30's the same?

I have read conflicting information with some stating that the crease line is different or the bend radius on the arch lip, but personally I can't see any difference?

If someone could clarify it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Easily checked by looking them up in the ETK. Pre and facelift have the same part numbers, so they are the same.

Worth noting that even if the part numbers were different, it doesn't necessarily mean that the parts aren't interchangable. If just one bolt hole had been moved slightly, or some other insignificant change had been made, there would be a different part number.
