Mud guards/flaps for Mercedes 2016 C300

I have a new 2016 C300 . . Looking for a place to purchase mud flaps. Anyone with a suggestion? I'm told there is 2 different body shapes. Mine is the one with the vent in the rear quarter panel.

Welcome to MBWorld! Are you talking about the Genuine MB Splash Guards? If you want, PM me the last 8 digits of your vin and I can look up the part numbers for you.

You can purchase W205 "Sport" mudflaps on ebay for around $60 shipped.

Check out my thread...

Are these painted?

Do they require drilling?

No drilling or removal of wheels necessary...and WAY less money than the OEM mudflaps.

Ironic, really: you posted an eBay link for MB projectors and wondered why somebody would go cheap. I bought them and love them.

I'd like to stick with MB, expensive or not.

Really? When it comes to the quality of Chinese knockoff parts, you're going to compare electrical components to a one piece plastic mud flap? Can you say apples & oranges?



The knockoff mudflaps were like 1/4 the price of the OEM mudflaps and are of the same plastic quality & design, the knockoff door projectors are NOT the same quality and lack heat sinks, the OEM door projectors are of better quality, have heat sinks, and a parts warranty.

Apples and oranges, with a straw argument: the issue is false economy, not the specific component.

Chinese mud flaps...ewwwwww.

How exactly does your dumb-*** comments/opinions help the OP get the mudflaps he's asking for? Huh, Mr. "Straw argument"?

At least I offered help...and a link. What did you offer besides stupid OT comments? Admit it, you're in this thread only to argue with me.

Gee, Zus, don't flatter yourself. The guy appears to want OEM, not cheap Chinese trash.

I actually used you last little link to buy the $200 projectors, and I'm glad I did.

The Chinese mud flaps are still cheap crap, and an example of your post, well made, about the projectors. They likely function for some period of time, but have a useful life far shorter than the MB, so why not avoid the inconvenience and duplicate expense.

How did you decipher the OP wants OEM with his statement of...

"I have a new 2016 C300 . . Looking for a place to purchase mud flaps. Anyone with a suggestion? I'm told there is 2 different body shapes. Mine is the one with the vent in the rear quarter panel."

Have you bought the Chinese knockoff "Sport" mudflaps?...I did, I even made a thread about them. The quality and fit/finish of the ebay versions are fine, and a number of other members here would say the same. It's a mudflap, not a particle accelerator. Now would I buy the Chinese knockoffs of the door projectors...no.

Amazed at the affected nature of this thread. The MB marketing team has brainwashed you well. Kudos to them. Assuming OEM is far superior is a bad play, Germany has many parts made in China, Taiwan and other countries.

Ha, that's funny! . Here is why I buy OEM: 1. Regardless of origin, it's made to MB specs, good, bad or indifferent, so 2. It is warranted buy them and 3. I don't have to look for Hu Plung Dung through eBay if I have a claim.

You guys....

yes the same manufacturer that can't make engines to tolerance. Your blind faith in MB is what continues to line their pockets.

The very same...with a warranty.

You'd rather deal with Hu Phlung Dung?

Fine, that's what makes the world twirl.

Just fitted some ebay mud flaps and they look great. Pliable plastic, good quality, easy and secure fit. Best of all £35 for the entire set. Made in U.K. not poor Chinese brittle stuff. a third the price of OEM and you'd only know the difference if you took them off and looked for the MB badge.
