I've been looking for these fender flares ever since I picked up my 63, but Mercedes doesn't seem to have a part number to track it down. I found two non-OEM version on Ebay, one primered and one carbon fiber. Has anyone purchased or installed and how is the quality. Links below!

Fender Flares on EBay

I don't know if I would call that a fender flare.

Wheel opening trim seems more descriptive...

I like the wheel on the white car. Anyone know the manufacturer?

Looks like some cheapbo wheels. Try Axis or OBX etc....

..........

I'm just curious of what function (per MBZ) they have in the first place? Reduce spray by acting like a mud guard or is there an aerodynamic function?

Also, looks too easy for some a$$hole to rip them off.

I just installed them on my car, they look cool, I don't know if they serve any real purpose but cosmetics. I got them in primer and painted them myself, real easy just sand them a little before painting. the link below is the ebay seller I got them from, I offered him $90 and he jumped on it, I'd probably offer him less if I were you and keep going up until he accepts:
