Aftermarket mudflaps, soft and durable needed!

Just ordered the new C180be and trading in my old 200cdi. I simply love this car and finaly got the chance to go "alles optionalen" with ac-seats etc...

I just have one problem and it seems to remain. Mudflaps, small but for me a big problem. The originals are WAY too hard plastic, so hard the fender on my drivers side tore up badly and every time i come down from a curb or bigger bump, the flap hits the ground making horrible screeks-sound.

So, are there any soft'ish and maybe a bit bigger ones aviable? The weather here changes a lot faster then the roads are cleaned and driving over 100k km a year has its toll on the paintjob without decent mudflaps.

Any other ideas and suggestions are welcome too. This car is meant to last me the next four years and over 400k kilometers.

Only suitable for AMG / Sports / Sport C Class Coupe vehicles (Post 2010 Facelift)
Nope, no coupe, no AMG, no sport, standard Elegance. Its a 180CDI, the most "un-sporty" of them all. Why pay to make your car look like something its far from.

Also, those seem VERY small, even smaller then the originals and just as plastic, if not even worse. And expensive.

Well, keep em coming.
