Is this normal?

ianbstag · 15th September 2015, 23:21

Whilst poking about changing my front bumper, amongst other things, I noticed a difference between my diesel and the 260.

The 260 has no "access panels" in the wheelarch liners, so I was wondering if this is normal?

It's no biggie, but it just piqued my interest, "every day's a school day" and all that!

The xenon equipped cars don't need the access panel while those with halogen lights do.

The 260's come with an extra fuel tank flap to compensate...

Dont know why? Thats one of the better features of the V8, the headlamp access is dead easy from under the bonnet!
