AMG sport side skirts on base S550

I have a 2007 s class base model I was wondering if the AMG sport side skirts would fit on my car I ordered some from eBay but the body shop said they don't line up so I got some OEM skirts from another 07 and they are saying that these don't fit either I can't for the life of me understand why the body shop is saying that the OEM ones(maybe these are eBay parts as well) don't fit either that is puzzling to me since the are coming from the same year vehicle I'm sure someone on here has changed their side skirts if so let me know

These are the OEM AMG skirts

eBay aftermarket skirts


Passenger side of my S Class with the base skirts removed the doors have to be removed to install the skirts

Driver side of my S Class with the base skirts removed

Depends on the weather
FYI - doors don't have to be removed to remove or install the sideskirts. See my post #25 when I did the whole AMG kit on my black 2007 S600 myself.

Did you go to the bodyshop to see for yourself? Are they putting them on the correct side left vs right? I would assume so but you never know...

Honestly no I didn't but I was going to go to a different shop with the aftermarket skirts and let them try to put them on

Good tip, I assumed that rear door needed removing. My AMG side skirts have cracks I want to repair, looking at your post #25 in that thread cleared the the way for me to remove the skirts and fix those cracks.

I'm not sure how DIY you are but it's not that bad to pop them off and put the new ones on yourself if you already have them painted. If not, another body should be able to to do it pretty easily.
