Hi all, i’m new to the forum i have a xic 4.2 that i have just purchased, i looking to replace the n/s wing, i have been offered 2 new old stock jaguar series 3 wings can anyone tell me what the difference is between them and a series 2 wing.
Hi Harry:
The only difference I know of, at least in the early series 2's, is the opening for the
parking/signal lights allows for the installation of the fender mounted lights. Even in
the federal (US/Canada) cars. That opening in the series 3 cars is more of a square
that requires the lights to be mounted in the bumper of the car.

Welcome Harry!
S III wings have a side marker or indicator opening in the upper area. The lower opening is used for the massive bumper support.
S II wings don’t have the upper opening. The lower opening is used for the parking light/indicator assembly. It has a different shape and is contoured in a different way.
Tin artists will find a way to make do, but if you have to pay for the work it’s better to start with the right type of wing.
Good luck
