FRONT WING

Ah, do not fall into the trap of the narrow and wide wings.

If your car is fitted with ML5T or AL4 gearboxes, the wings are 10mm wide, as the track of these cars are wider. Applies to the Activa, V6 and 110 HDi engined cars, in either saloon or estate format, irrespective of trim level. Anything else has narrow wings.

And Mk1 wings wont fit on a Mk2, same explanation applies to Mk1s.

ALL Mk.2 Xantias have the Wider Wings, they ARE ALL the same...

Its only Mk.1 cars that have Wide or Narrow wings...
