Sorry ~ the car is filthy. Been on dirt roads & it rained this week ~ cleaning day tomorrow between F1 GP & MotoGP.

When clean, in reality the flaps just blend into the tyres & get lost from most angles. I have tried to photograph them so they are the most noticeable.

I like the old ones better as well, the newer ones are too 'simple' for me

Glyn, wow, nice. How far do they stick out on the side when you see them from the back? Thanks for the pics.

They don't stick out at all really. They just cover the tyres. Being OE they look as though the car came with them standard.

They are available to fit all the different skirt profiles.

That's a great looking car. Really liking the silver and taupe-silver 209's.

Thanks Glyn.

If I get them, I may vinyl wrap the back part in white or white carbon fibre so it matches the car.

BTW, here are the brand new OEM Mercedes 18" Wheels.

I did look them up before I purchased them and they were a CLK 209 Mercedes upgrade. But have never seen them on any car.

That wheel has been fitted on a number of models around the world.

Good luck!

Glyn do you know if that wheel would fit on a W204?

The offset is wrong for a W204. You would have to use quite large spacers to fit them to a W204.
