Difference 69 & 70 quarter panel extensions

[Hux 45]

Hi folks

 

I stripped my quarter extensions off my 70.  One is marked a 70 part number and is die cast metal.  The other is a 69 part number and appears to be a plastic?

 

I gather neither are orginal to the car as the boot lid is yellow under the bad red paint job.

 

What are they normally - die cast or plastic or is it jus different between the years?

69's used both metal and fibreglass, my car had one of each from the factory. I believe all 70's are metal.

Thanks - they appear identical to my eye.  Anyone able to say if there is a difference?

They follow thr contour of the tail light panel. 69 is curved and 70 is flat.

Thanks...looks like I’m on the look out for a good one.

Me too, R= metal and L = Fiberglass.  the fiberglass one cracked and I sourced a metal one from this forum to replace it next time I paint the car.

I did the opposite, I kinda liked the idea of the fiberglass because they are a bit unusual so I found another one for the other side.
