Being a bit of an Europhile when it comes to styling, I went with the OEM MB mudflaps for my w210 wagon. Not only do I like the way they look, but as a commuter who drives 140 miles a day, maybe these will keep the crap off my paint.
When I ran into a snag with part numbers, I posted here and several of you asked me to post pics when I got them on. Done and done.
Front set for 1996-1999 cars; part number 6-6-52-8151
Rear set for 1996-1999 cars; part number 6-6-52-8153
Front set for 2000-2003 cars; part number 6-6-52-8192
Rear set for 2000-2003 cars; part number 6-6-52-8193
They list for $47.00 a set, but with a wholesale account I paid $38.00 a set. Install took about 20 mins, no drilling necessary. Very simple install and they mold perfectly to the body's contours.

Hey, MAE320, you can get them from Duvalmotorcars.com, MB dealer that sells at a pretty good discount. From their website just click service/parts and send them the part numbers POS supplied along with a request for a quote.
POS, they do indeed look very good. I think they'd stand out quite a bit on a lighter-color car, though. I have a good friend who's very hyper about such things and has them shot at a body shop to match his car...even when they are pliable plastic.
Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
