Anyone used w124 pattern part wings?

[tobyd]

Hi,
The wings on my S124 are rusting through as they all seem to do. I'm looking to do something with them before next winter comes and was wondering whether anyone had experience using pattern part wings as my budget is tight to non-existent.
If anyone has any wings they are no longer needing and are in the Yorkshire area please drop me a line.
Thanks for looking
Toby

I need to do one of mine Toby. Advice I have seen on here before is that the pattern wings are fine and don't take much fettling to fit. I think they are about £50 from panel stockists.
Incidentally, Mercedes want £250 each for genuine ones.....

Is there any difference between the wings on all w124's pre/post facelift in 89 and 93?
thanks

Some foreign ones don't have the side repeater hole; and I heard somewhere that the earlier ones have a more pronounced 'lip' on the wheel arch. Should still fit though.

I'm looking to replace my wings aswell; they're really letting the car down.
