I don't know, but as the tailgates definitely changed to one piece from 2012MY I would not be surprised if the glass changed slightly then also. (But hopefully not). L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

Yes they are nearly, unless it is the one piece tailgate as I have done it, the only problem is the rear spoiler mountings, the two outer one's are in a slightly different position so ideally you need the 2010 on rear spoiler and the hinges for the glass, as the spoiler mtgs. are on the hinges not the glass as the pre facelift model. It really is quite simple provided you have the 2010 hinges and spoiler.

The glass I've seen is from a 2012, mine is a 2008. |

Don't think it will fit, well not a straight swap. As the tailgate was changed to a one piece from 2012MY. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

If it's the fixed glass removed from a one piece tailgate then no it won't, if it's the opening glass from a split tailgate then yes it can be done. I thought it was during 2012 they changed from split to one piece but I may well be wrong as I was led to believe the one I changed came from a 2012 car.

Should be OK as long as you get the hinges and spoiler with it. Your best bet is to email the guy and make sure it came from a 2 piece t/gate In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Yes that one will fit, when I did it about 18 months ago I fitted it to a car with the HST body kit fitted so used a Autobiography rear spoiler with a reversing camera in it and got that working via the navigation screen as well. However as I said previous you will need the hinges that go with the screen and the later spoiler otherwise simple swap. Let's you use the LED rear brake light as well. Back then the hinges from L/R were about £50.00 each. Do have the Part Numbers might even have so pictures of it all somewhere if of any use.

Hi is it me or the one in the advert looks like a Mk1 version not a 2012 as it has the red LED brake light on the top not clear underneath the spoiler?

Yes you are right something doesn't look right there, a pre facelift has three mountings at the top as this picture the facelift variant only has the centre one. The one advertised doesn't even appear to have that and I really can't remember if that could be removed separate or not.

That would be brilliant Col, all help is greatly appreciated, I've got a funny feeling this simple glass swap is going to turn into a bit of a modding session! |

Because I have the HST rear spoiler, I'm assuming this would affect the problem/solution?
