Get the ones with Yosemite Sam on them. They are the best. I think they say "Back Off".

LMAO
I think he needs to add some flames decals on the sides and maybe some spinners on the wheel hubs.

Why don't you call the parts department at your local MB dealer? I'm sure they could help you.

Have done, they don't have them or supposedly MB don't make them and yet for the fronts anyway, there are three holes and pins for that purpose....need vendors who provide aftermarket guards that do work or can be adapted and wondered if anybody here has them.

I have seen a lot of SLs and not a single one sported mudflaps. I am sure you have your reasons for wanting them.

SL500 and A-CLASS
They were available as an option on my 2004 SL. My salesman talk me out of them. He thought I was joking when I asked for them.

Branmin, as a suggestion, have you thought of clear bra film for the lower rocker panels?

I have it on my entire hood, nose, mirrors and rocker panels and I really like the invisible protection it gives.
