This may sound like a silly question: are all front fenders ("wings" to you Brits) completely interchangable on Amazons? Consider this: in my garage there are 3 pairs of metal fenders - - 1 set in original tan primer with volvo factory stickers (yes, I am fortunate - thanks Duane M.), and 2 other sets from 1966 donor cars. The issue is that the turnsignal cutouts on the donor car fenders don't quite match the actual curvature of late-style turnsignals (clear & yellow plastic lenses with metal bezels). The Volvo fenders however offer a perfect fit.

Note: the donor fenders don't show signs of being hit/repaired, and all have the same type and degree of mis-fit - the center of the turnsig bezel stands off from the fender by several mm. (Anyone else notice this on their car?)

So, do I have 4 aftermarket replacement fenders (with poor fit) from the same non-OEM stamping molds, or did "early" fenders have a different curvature (to match early-style glass turnsignals), or . . . ??????

I had the same problem with my 1968. I got a replacement LHS fender from an unknown vintage donor, and after it was all painted up and fitted I spent about an hour trying to make the turn light all line up. I had bought new non-original rubber boots and thought they were the trouble: I hadn't even thought of the curvature being different, but that does make sense.

Hi John,
Recently saw your post.
I too have a '68 122 and have that curvature in the fender problem. Also the nose pieces are different than the earlier models. None of the chrome grills seem to fit right. Just those black screen type fit right. Am I correct?
Thanks,
stanley
