Please check the link. I am thinking to get these instead of getting a fender from dealer. Give me your opinions.
Thank you.

if you plan on going all out with like abody kit etc, i say go

if not dont, its going to look out of place

ALSO it may not fit well at all, end up being way more for body work AND you many end up with the same problem you have now, its aftermarket!

Thank you for your opinion.

I don't know. Overdone Mercedes never seem to look right to me. Even the CLK DTM looked a bit ricey and it's over $500K.

I focus the money on wheels, lights, corners and springs.

Mind you, I also drive my car with the factory hubcaps and no mods, so what do I know.

I hope I haven't mislead anyone, but I really don't own the k-car.

No pics on my computer. My 230K is factory black on black. My Type SH is Silver with the factory 5-stars. Both are pretty clean.

I'll have to post the Ferrari and 300SL pics another time. I've got them both riding on 22" Daytons. Both have the full WingsWest body treatment with TONS of stickers and decals. Oh, and carbon fiber hoods and the underglow neon lights of kit of course.

If anyone has the fender, please post pics here.
I like to see how well it fits...

By the way Im the guy with the clear taillights :D and I too say go for it, I wouldnt though (my own opinion) cause yeah, the fenders on their own will look kind of strange, UNLESS ofcourse you go for the full bodykit. But then you re gonna need huge wheels in order to cover those pHat arches etc etc and moneywise, I dont think its worth it.:(

exactly, if you are going to get those you have to get the whole thing to make it look right...its like getting a hair cut but only doing one side haha

[got_wake]

yeah fully go all out man!

[Proven Guilty]

just take your car to a body shop with the fender still on the car. they can roll the fender, and pull it out to match the left side. shouldn't cost more than $100, or you can even try it yourself.

if you're a d.i.y. kinda guy, use a sand bag, or large sock filled with rice on the outside of the fender (to form to it, providing controlled resistance and form) and light tapping using a rubber mallet from inside the wheel well. anything too hard could crease, or cause the paint to crack, so just take your time and it'll turn out great.

There is a special tool to roll out the fenders, it mounts where the wheel does and it has some kind of an arm which you extend towards the arch and has a roller in the end so when you move it back and forth it rolls the fender out. Bodyshops and tuning shops have them, definitely check em out, Im sorry though, dont know what is called. :silly:

How much wider? If you roll them enough the will be wider. Thats the primary tool to use IMO.

I don't need to wide the diameter. I like to sit the tire in the fender not flushing with the fender. I now have the tire flushes with the fender but driver's side one is in.

Is it much better to take the car to dealer body shop? I checked the local bodyshop(piper's bodyshop) in my area and got out to door price range from 750 to 800 including the genuine mercedes fender($250 to 300).
