Did the 740 facelift have the same front wing?

I think the breaker was in Maidstone, or possibly Ashford. I've also had parts shipped from Dumfries (awesometwosome on Ebay), and Norfolk Volvo Spares, and have never had difficulty at all.

cheers I think ive messaged the same breaker! colour isn't too important as I need a bit of paint work doing anyway

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

The guy who bought a spare one from me for his 760 (knowing it came from my facelift 740!) a while ago will be disappointed
