Q about fender flares
I just bought a '00 ML430 and want to install the factory fender flares. I was wondering if the '02 sport package flares would fit. I know the bumpers are different so i was thinking maybe the rear flares would look funny.
if anyone has installed these flares with the '98-'01 style bumpers, please reply and post your pics if possible.
thanks for any info!

Well here is one of the original spy shots for the '02 update - it has the sport bumper and it seems normal without the fender flares - so if you flip that statement, the flares should look normal without the bumper.

well i know for sure that headlights, fenders, hood, and doors are exactly same, so this tells me that flares should feet perfectly without a problem. But remember one thing if you add flares, then you will need wider tires... $.02
