So I know a few folks here have put the GLC 43 fender flares on the rear of their vehicles, but anyone have any thoughts on also doing the front ones that the GLC 63 seems to have? Any reason this might look weird on a GLC300 Coupe?
If you compare some pictures between the regular GLC and V8 version, the V8 definitely has wider wheels and tyres.
The Gray GLC63 is showcased with Michelin's 265mm wide/ 40 ZR 21" tyres whereas the typical GLC43 has Michelin's 255mm wide/40 ZR 21" tyres and GLC300 will have 235mm wide tyres.
This isn't taking into account the different wheel offsets or different axles. But the fender flares will appear to stick out way more on a standard GLC300.

True. I had read about the wider axle and assumed that would be challenging to compensate for, but with a new set of wider wheels/tires or reasonable spacers, most of that difference could be overcome. I'm assuming that the fenders at the rear of the 63 are the same as those of the 43, and the pictures of those don't seem to look bad, but I could be wrong.
Has anyone done this? I've been looking into it, all of the parts online show the 300 and 43 trim part number for the 63 as well.
When I've dug around and found what is supposed to be the proper part number, the best price I've found is $450usd per side. I was expecting the price to be more on par with the rear ones.

If its what I'm thinking, its only 90 bucks a side:
Thanks RK, I did find the same on a few sites. These are listed wrong, the part number shown is actually for the 43 and 300. 63's I don't have the part number but confirmed with an online shop and local dealership a retail price of around $700 Canadian each. Way overpriced, no reason why they should cost more than the rear ones.

The same part comes up for the GLC63 as well. So you're saying the GLC63 has a different part number all together?

I've been looking for the part numbers for the rear ones. Do you have them?
