My parts cars are a '78 245DL w dual hdlts, and an '85 240 w dual hdlts. Both have undamaged fronts.
I also saved the single headlts (very bright!) and grille from my '76 245DL but not the metal between the headlts which holds the fan shroud & hood latch etc.

Will the front left fender (Qtr Panel) from either parts car fit onto the '89? I know the front signal lights are diff. I have old & new style sig lts. I don't want to put the '89 plastic hdlts back in. Bentley Manual shows how to remove fender - looks straightforward.

I've already replaced the hood, grille & hdlts using parts fr the '78. My prefernce is to use the big single hdlts from the '76, but I'd need to find the fan shroud pc.

I'll take some measurements off both fenders, but maybe other BB members already know the answer.TIA
