Some words of advice

If you decide to install them yourself, either use a drill to make pilot holes (especially for the front), or throw away the crappy Greman "self tapping" screws and buy proper American made stainless steel self tapping screws.

The screws wouldn't "self-tap" for me either at first, but all it did was take me reaching behind the fender and applying some pressure against it while screwing them in, worked wonders cause in the first 10 mins I was cursing "f***ing MB, can't even make mudflaps that fit, f***, f***, f***, s***, m***** f*****.... ",

The cargo net was a totally different case, those screws don't screw into the fittings, cause the fittings turn, so good old trusty hammer, a few knocks and presto, screws were in, only after breakin one of the little plastic fittings while upset at MB yet again.
