Mud flaps

Does the W212 refreshed (2014) E class comes with OEM Mud flaps? I don't recollect seeing any car with it, nor can I see any available accessory on the website. Would like to know if there is an option. Thanks.

On ebay all of them are either 3rd party (not OEM) or for pre-facelift versions. I wanted to know if OEM mud flaps are available for the 2014 version. Thanks.

You really need to look at ebay. They are not all preface lift. If you type in what I said to type in it lists OEM 2013-2014 W212 to fit E350. You have to look They are about the 7th or 8th down. They are from a Mercedes benz dealer. They are only primed but they are OEM. But it sounds like you want something different and not from ebay. Good luck. I cannot help you then since I know of no local dealer that sells them. I have had better luck buying from China and Canada then finding what I want from a US dealer. I have had no problems buying from overseas or Canada and the cost is about 1 /3 of what US dealers charge if they can get the parts, which they usually cannot.

Thanks dbldpr. I did the search the way you said and got this result.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-OEM-Mud-Flaps-Splash-Guards-2010-2013-E-Class-Sedan-Wagon-212-Set-4-/301246889972?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4623b6bff4It is a pre-facelift and as you said it needs to be painted....man that's too much work.
Could you paste the link for the face lifted version please. The only one I found fitting the 2013-2014 version were direct from China (not OEM).
So the point I get is this. MB makes only painted version of mud flaps. If you want rubber flaps get it from China....correct??

Thanks for this link. Do you know if these mud flaps need to be painted or can be directly attached.

Pamiboy The after facelift item is ebay # 301246889818. It is oem but you have to paint them. Over $200 for all 4. The one I would buy is ebay number 171326381449 from Hong Kong. Under $90 shipped. I have found that the quality from China or hong kong is equal or better than oem from Germany. I purchased illuminated sills for my 2014 from China. The German made oem only says Benz for the rear. My sills from China say Mercedes Benz and look a lot better than the German made ones. This is the best I can do for you. You have to make the decision. I also found out that if it says it is good for the 2013 sedan it is also good for the 2014 sedan even if it does not state it is compatible with the 2014. Good luck on what you decide.

Thanks both of you guys. Right now I'm not in the mood to buy and paint them. I don't have any tools or expertise for that, nor any desire to fork out for a paint shop for this purpose. I'll think about the one from Hong Kong. Can they be installed directly by anyone. Do I need to take off the wheel / tire for installing them? ........Cheers.

When you bring the car in for a free tire rotation every 4000 miles ask them how much to install them. IT should be minimum since they have to take the tires off anyway. I am thinking about buying the ones from Hong Kong also. Also Ali express also has them and I have bought from them before.

I know it says not for AMG/sport pack cars but has anyone tried them anyways? The general contour seems to be the same for the rear bumper and the side skirts look very similar for the front axle.
