Curious as to what the differences are between the PFL & FL front ends?

I have a 2005 W12 and wondered which front end my car would have?

Was there any difference to the rear end also?

Not really thinking about changing anything...just curious!

Thanks & kind regards,

W12 will essentially have an FL front end as that's when it was introduced.

FL has the single grill. (though a slight FL was dropped in for 2008).

facelift mirrors are awfull on the D3 .. much prefer the pre face lift mirrors on a facelift front end or an S8 front end on a W12 looks very sleak indeed
