I thought you were asking about the rear wings.

Ok. So is there any difference in the front wings? I've seen some cars with a side repeater but apart from that is there anything?

the front wing side repeaters were for Europe, Canada, and Australia. In the US we ended up with MG sidelites.

I am not 100% sure, but I think there is no difference.

On the Series 3, the front indicator, (trafficator), lights went into the larger black bumper, so the large hole that previously took the indicator light fitted on the wing of the Series 2 cars was never punched out. Apart from this they are identical. If you fit Series 2 wings to a Series 3, the hole is hidden by the bumper. However it is easy to cover it over.

Fraser the hole you refer to for the trafficator in the Series 2 wing, is still there in the Series 3 wings, but it is covered by a large rubber grommet, the size of the rectangular hole, through which the trafficator wiring harness comes through to the bumper-mounted lamp. At least that is the way it is in my '84 model year built in '83.
