The flaps aren't available as a separate part. You'd have to order the trim pieces that they are located in. Easy fix if you know how to (but pricey). There's various other solutions, find under 'R230 flaps' on forums.

As @Frederick NL said, those flaps aren't available by themselves. To get a new replacement from MB, you'd have to buy that entire end/corner trim panel and they cost about $500US each.

A lot of times those flaps break during the top up/down operation and then fall into the trunk of the car, so have a very thorough look around inside your trunk and you may find that piece in there. I've seen a couple of different methods in this forum used to repair broken flaps.

Alternately, there's a seller on eBay that makes 3D printed replacement flaps and repair kits, just search eBay for "Mercedes R230 flap".
