Where to buy mud flaps for sedan?
Does anyone know where I can get a set of mud flaps for my sedan? I personally perfer clean look of no mud flaps but i cant stand the dirt and grime that gets kicked up on my car esp with winter coming up soon. I know the dealer sells them i think not sure how much? i tried ebay but i think they only had them for w202's. Anyone know a good site to buy it from and how much they are? or how much the Stealership charges?? thanx

I've never seen any offered or on a W203, and can't imagine that they would look good at all. I drive a lot and don't get that much on the body from the tires. And what little I do is fairly easy to clean off with a quick detailer. I guess if you have to travel on dirt or gravel roads a lot, I could see the need, but otherwise I would leave it the way it is.
Make sure you have a good coat of wax and most dirt and grime comes right off.

I know the purists out there loathe the flaps but living up here with the winter it is necessary especially driving up north. It saves your car as well as protects your clothing as your suit pant leg is not covered in slush or salt ladden snowbergs hanging from the rocker pannels when you enter and exit the car.
I bought them from the dealer, they are OEM parts and were $60 for each pair and are an exact fit to the contours of the car
They really blend in with the car and they don't stick out like some others. Here are pictures from last winter, notice how the rest of the car is clean of dirt and snow with them! I know it does not make sense to those that don't experience winter, but the salt, sand, small stones as well as the snow and ice is hell on the car and the paint

John,
the OEM Mercedes-Benz Mud Flaps only fit the regular 2001-2004 W203 sedan rear bumpers. They will NOT fit on the AMG C32 or 2005+ C-Sedan rear bumpers.

i regret so much not having them in college because my hood, roof, and trunk would look clean after a car wash and the sides would be horrible right after the wash. my pant leg would always have big salt stains on them from exiting and entering the vehicle and worst was the side kit of my car and rear bumper took a lot of abuse from the salt, gravel, and rocks. i think i'm def gonna get a set.
