W222 AMG mudflaps
Hi everybody.
This is my first post on any forum so please be gentle
I have just purchased a 2018 W222 S350d with AMG skirting.
I live in Australia and travel on a lot of dirt roads and so the car is covered with mud every day. The paint near the wheels is also taking a beating.
I have had a paint protection wrap put on the vulnerable areas but it came off where the dirt was being kicked up.
On my last car (2003 W220 S500) I purchased some mudflaps and that kept the car fairly clean.
But I cannot find any mudflaps to fit the W222 which has the AMG kit on it.
I can purchase plenty of mudflaps to fit the standard non-AMG W222 but nothing for the AMG fitted vehicle.
Does anybody have any suggestions.
Thanks.
Gabe

Thanks for the reply Nice Ride.
As mentioned "I have had a paint protection wrap put on the vulnerable areas but it came off where the dirt was being kicked up".
The company calls it PremiumShield Paint Protection film.
So yes the film has been put on all areas which will be hit be dirt, mud or bird droppings (full bonnett, back of mirrors, sills, behind rear wheel arches, door edges, front bumper and lights).
Unfortunately the film started to come off from the sills behind the front wheels after the first drive due to being battered by mud. The company said that they will replace it but I need a better solution.
Thanks again.

I suspect that your chances of finding a AMG mudflap are slim, however, I did search '2018 s63 mudflap' in eBay and it brought back some results. I realize that you are in Austrailia and not the US.My thought is that maybe if you find something for an S63, it might fit your AMG styling? Although my suspicion is that everything in the eBay search is probably a Universal fit, rather than S Class specific.
Alternatively you could just try buying some that are S Class specific, and adapt them to fit your AMG skirts.
Or try your dealer, and see if MB actually sell anything!

Thanks will_atl but I have tried genuine but no luck for the AMG fitted vehicle.
The link that you sent does say S63 AMG so I will purchase them and if they don't fit exactly I will try to modify them.
It will take a while to get them from the US so I will update this post once they arrive.
If there are any other solutions, I am all ears.
Thanks for everyone's help.

take a look at these: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/26547195...UAAOSwc~xhybPW
Or look in Aliexpress, you shouldn’t need to order for the US.

Thanks for the link.
I just ordered them and hopefully they fit or fit after a little modification.
If not then I will be happy that I gave it a good go.
I will keep everyone posted when they arrive.

Please can show a couple pics of your car with the flaps... Preferably while the car is clean
I'm curious as to what it looks like..
