Installing GLC63 front fender flares onto a GLC43

Has anyone swapped the front fender flares from a GLC 63 on to a GLC43? I know the rears have been done. I looked up the parts and the part will fit all GLC's:

https://parts.mbsacramento.com/v-201...or-trim-fender

Its only 90 bucks a side. Before I pull the trigger, I want to make sure that its a simple swap.

I was going to do this before buying wheels so I could go wider, but the "cheapest" I found them was $450 USD each so decided not to.
All of the MB websites like the link above list the wrong part number like you said.

I guess I'll reach out to a local body shop. I'll grab a VIN for a GLC63s and see the cost and part number is.

Yeah that's what a friend with a body shop did for me. With his discount he was quoted over $600 Canadian per side.

How long ago was this? I see Mercedes is protecting the GLC63 by over pricing the black plastic fender flare lip lol. Just so us lame GLC43 owners can't make our cars look the same.

20x9/20x11 Would have liked to go 9.5 front but couldn't find anything without going custom. (Would have liked 21" too but same thing)
I'll look up the ET's, there's room in the back to go up to 11.5 and still stay within the fenders. I've stock 255/285 on there still with 275/40 and 315/35 going on next week.

Looks great. What brand are they? Put up more pictures of the fitment especially down the side of the car to see how the wheels sit. I put the rears on the front just to see how the fitment would be and they poked half an inch past the fenders. That's why it would be nice to have the GLC63 front fenders for that added girth. I'm planning on getting 20x10 front and 20x11.5 rears but need to first figure out the fender situation.

Niche...they were cheap but one of the few that had offsets that worked and an 11" rear. I liked that they looked like a factory wheel too. I posted some front pics here, https://mbworld.org/forums/glc-class...et-wheels.html
Hard to tell from pics, I wouldn't want to go much further out on the front but you could go 3 more mm further out with a 9.5 and keep the factory inner clearance. (If you've looked back there, there's next to no room to go further inward)
If you're changing the fenders, 10" would fit no problem. I'll post some of the rear later.

~ We all know they (set) are overpriced at nearly 1k... I was just curious if you found them for much less elsewhere? Thanks

I'm in Canada so everything is double the price up here. I got the pair for 1350 plus install in Canadian Dollars. With the exchange around $890USD.

lol! We get the 63S in the SUV here though for the same price or cheaper once exchange is factored than the 63 in the US.

I've actually been researching everywhere trying to find the part numbers for all four fenders and I also thought they were:

Front Left - 253-885-05-22
Front Right -253-885-06-22
Rear Left - 253-885-07-22
Rear Right - 253-885-08-22




Turns out they are NOT. I bought those and will have to return them tomorrow. Those are the flat non-AMG ones.

The front actual front ones are as follows and are insane in price differences (probably so 300 and 43 owners don't buy the parts just for cosmetic upgrades).
Front Left - A2538855003
Front Right - A2538855103

I'm trying to find the flared rear ones. I've been looking for days with no luck If anyone has the rear fender part numbers please help!
