They will fit but the panel gaps at the front of the bonnet and top of the wing might not work too well (Cant check right now) but the width is around 10mm.

 

Some of the join lines around the headlights will look a little different as the later wings are designed for the later style bonnet.

i have already fitted the later bonnet so should all line up now???

do the early bumpers line up or would i have to fit a late front bumper as well?/

thanks very much,

The bumper will not line up 100% with the late spec wings, but it's not that easy to notice. Not sure if it's the bracket thats different on the late spec models or the bumper. But the original brackets can be spaced out a bit (with washers of about 2-3mm thick) to make the wing and bumper line up a lot better.

Actually there was a period where 'late' wings and bonnets were used with 'early' bumpers, headlights foglights etc. So it is a factory original look and can be used that way.
