oh my, you guys r all over. Just bought some MINI parts from you a couple week back, and may need to get a couple things for the C.
Your fender wells are lined with two pieces, 202-698-28-30 is the small of the two, 202-690-02-30 is the larger component that surrounds the majority of the wheelhouse. We carry both sections for each side: http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...-698-28-30-M22

one thing to watch out for: even though i ordered the right part numbers the parts were missing the appropriate hole in the bottom front that connects the liners to the bottom of the front fascia (i assume its just meant for the non AMG c class bumpers), the hole that is in the part does not line up with the C43 front fascia, so you have to just put it into place, mark the part through the hole in the bumper and then drill the hole yourself to pop the Christmas tree looking plastic piece through. Just be sure you use the right size drill bit so that the rivet will pop through with enough resistance to hold.
The only trick was popping that area into the bottom of the fascia, the other points all just have a nut that you simply tighten but i found it almost impossible to punch that plastic rivet through the bottom of the fascia because the fascia just pushes up with it. The only solution i found was to have my girlfriend reach through the front of the bumper and apply pressure to hold the bottom of the fascia down near the rivet while i popped it though. (the opening in the bottom of the front fascia is very small so her tiny hands could fit in there but mine couldn't). Without her doing that i dont know how i would have made it work without taking 3-4 more things apart.
Other than that it was really easy, jacking up the car and taking the wheels on and off took more time than replacing the parts. about 1 hour total to do both sides.
hope my explanation wasn't too confusing. I dont really like dong my own repairs since im not a super mechanical guy, but i was really glad i attempted to do this myself since it was pretty straightforward and saved about an hours worth of labor costs from a shop.
