Did the 740 facelift have the same front wing?

[the_traveller]

Ive bought a cat C88 740 GLE in great condition apart from the wing bumper and mirror, which are beyond fixing. Does anyone know if the wing shape changed at all on the facelift version?

Fairly sure the wings are different pre and post facelift, sorry

No worries i thought they might be, and all the pre-facelift wings are down in London

Facelift 740 wings are i believe unique to the 740 facelift so if you can find some in good condition it looks like you may have to find a specialist courier - many won't carry used body parts due to the buyers and sellers opinions of "good condition" possibly being different..............

Aye, i found one but they wanted £125 for postage, I’ll wait until one comes up in Yorkshire!

That sounds like a good plan! Either that or an idea i saw on another forum many moons ago where people who happen to be driving that way for work do a minor detour to collect the item and ship it either direct to you meeting somewhere convenient as they're working or to someone else in a sort of relay race and pass the "baton" (package/parts) to them to pass to you or another person who then passes it on to you.

If you knew of someone going close enough to collect then at least partway to Yorkshire you'd be at least some of the way there.

I've a feeling that mk2 760 also used them... but wouldn't want to be quoted on that

I think there are subtle differences Jim :



First glance you might think so but i think things like the headlamps and indicators are narrower on the 740 facelift, also the 760 has the longer extension on the side for the indicator/sidelights like the 9xx models.

***EDIT***

For comparison purposes, 740 facelift :



Very sublte differences but they exist
