Default 740 indicator/sidelight crystal wanted

Like to hear from anyone who has got a 740 estate front offside indicator/sidelight crystal (plastic cover over bulbs) for sale. I think there maybe two types. The one I want is the long one with the lesser size wrap round.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your message.

No, the lens on my '89 740 is not as squat as the one shown. It also does not wrap around so much. Tomorrow I will put a pic on. The one you show is the type that I can get in my local scrap yard.

Yes, that's the one. I don't think its that rare in the UK.

I was just about to post this. Looks like I will have to shell out £25!
