Mud Flaps fit for W212 (S212) Wagon Estate
Heads up if you would like a full set of mud flaps/ splash guards for your pre-facelift luxury version (non-sport) 2012 E350 Wagon. I ordered these from Flea Bay Jina assuming only the fronts would only fit but low and behold the rears fit also These have MB Part Numbers on them but I'm not sure they are real MB. That being said fit and finish were just fine. They matched the body lines very well front & rear. I used the factory fasteners where they lined up and slightly up-sized the holes where needed. price was right @ $34 USD.

Could you post a pic of these on your car? I'm interested in seeing how these look as I might consider them for my sedan.
Thanks

Will do. They look stock and are dimensionally molded to fit so I assume they were copied from same.

These are working very well. We live down a gravel/ dirt lane that turns to mud when it rains. It would be all the way up to the windows before. Not anymore. Here's what they look like on the long roof:

Those look nice on a Black or Dark Color car (any brand/make) where they blend in. I shouldn't admit this, but I had a set of these on an '85 300ZX coupe. But that car was dark grey metallic, so they weren't that noticeable.
I'd cringe at the idea of mounting them on my Diamond Silver, though. Or any light-colored car.
It's almost impossible to paint these, as they are injection-molded. One can never get the release agent -- infused throughout the part -- off the surface so the paint will stick. The material is flexible enough that on the first hit on the facing side by a big rock, the paint will pop on the back side, anyway.
But I like them on your longroof, really.
