Sorry...Translation: Wing = Fender
Running Board = Running Board

i.e. the strip that runs parallel with the lower edge of the windows, from front to back, the front and rear sections have a rounded end on One end and square ends next to the door shut, the section in the middle ( Door section) has square ends on either end, so I would have had to change both ends.

I did not pick the running board part as (1) it is wider approx. 1/2", which I believe to be a little too big when scaled from the pictures I have and (2) forming stainless is real hard work without splitting it...

Hope this clarifies
Steve
