W124 wings: confirmation

[Roger Jones]

I visited MB Milton Keynes yesterday and sorted out some parts. While there I enquired about W124 wings. Using the VINs for my 1991 saloon (pre-facelift) and 1996 Coupé (post-facelift), it was confirmed that they are indeed the same parts for both:

A124 880 50 18 RH with indicator hole
A124 880 49 19 LH with indicator hole

A124 880 48 18 RH without indicator hole
A124 880 47 18 LH without indicator hole

All £197.00 + VAT each. And it appears that the wings with holes are still being supplied.

Curiously, they are called "fenders" in the parts system.

P.S. Another curious name for a part: they call the flap set in the RHS of the bumper on the Coupé an "escutcheon", which by many dictionary definitions it ain't, although I guess "shield over a keyhole" in Chambers could be applicable.

The parts and number have been rationalised as is the usual proceedure with discontinued models.

The early coupes had part number 124 880 30 18 for Rh wing with blinker.

They only supply the rolled arch types of the later cars now.

Same sort of thing with rear suspension links which now has some later 210 model part numbers.
