No

The estate panels have a large dip between the rear light clusters which saloons and coupes do not have.

Thanks Dan,

As I said I know the top section is different but from the lights down are they not the same?

I only require the section fron the lights down.

Cheers,

Poe.

Yes, the full back panel is different between saloon, coupe and estate. There was an estate back panel on eBay recently, it was listed for Firenza but I emailed him and he changed it. About £100 I think. All the estate back panels I've seen are two pieces spot-welded together, almost as if they'd only made the top section for the estate, and stuck it on the bottom of another that they cut up. Or maybe the pressing is too complex to be made in one.

They were made as two panels and back in the day you could but either or both already joined.

I thought that was the case but just wanted to check first.

Many thanks guys.
