Mud Flaps
Hello,
I'm looking to order a C230 Sports Coupe and I have a question. According to the MBUSA.COM web site there is an $107.00 option for dealer installed mud flaps on the C230 Sports Coupe. However, my local dealer says this isn't so, they don't exist (for the Sports Coupe).
Does anyone know the definitive answer?

Splash guards....are due in 12/01 in the US. They screw to the inside lip of your wheel wells and look like cheesey black rubber with a silver tri-star. You'd do better by going to your local car parts boys and getting soft rubber ones that can be form fitted to your car with careful use of your girlfriend's hair dryer. That will cost you about $40 for the flaps, and a few expensive dates to make up for the hour she had to wait with wet hair.

If someone has already installed the splash guards. Please post a picture if you can because I was thinking of getting it done but my car is white and I thought the black rubber would make it look ugly. i have seen them on VW's and stand out (and not in a goodway)
Thanks in advance

MudFlap Picture
I don't know where the information about the mudflaps is coming from, but I bought a set from my dealer this summer and installed them myself. I don't know if you can see them in this picture against the black car, but they look fine and are molded to fit. I have also installed Mich. Pilot Alpins and chrome rims from tire rack.

I ordered the front pair only. $45.50. They came in and and they must have been for the AMG package since they did not quite fit the side skirt profile. When ordering, the parts guy asked If I had the wheel package, to which I said yes. He had part numbers with and without wheel package, but this probably means AMG evolution package(euro-version not available in US). If you have C7, the side skirt is the same as a non-C7 car so you need to order the standard flap.
These flaps have no MB Logo, black rubber, did not stick out that much at all , but they do drop down quite low. The new standard flaps due in tomorrow.

Well, I just ordered 6-6-52-8211 from clairparts.com
No pictures and the description has Sports Package in it. I wonder what I'll get?
BTW: Clair has added a few new Coupe parts to their website over the last few weeks. Including C7 wheels for $300 ea.

I wonder what you'll get too - the part number that turned out to be wrong for my car was 6-6-52-8205 (fronts only). I will post part number when I get the ones that fit right.
