No need, we have no mud in California.
Now where do you go with the SL in Florida Joe?

But if you insist, I did see them on the find post from a place in UK.
Also a black manual rear view mirror for 39 Eur.

Installing mud flaps on an SL is like putting a canvas canopy on a Harley.

Just my 2 cents.

Mudflaps

Just in case others may find this helpful . . .

I have acquired front and rear mudflaps for my 1997 SL500. The rears are like hens' teeth, being no longer available from MB; perhaps they'll come back, as discontinued parts sometimes do. The first rears sent by an independent supplier didn't fit, their corner fit being too angular. I then took a punt by changing the penultimate digit in the part number and putting it into Google. There was just one return from the whole world, from UK eBay, but I couldn't find that specific feedback post in the vendor's listing, so I wrote to the vendor. Glory be, it turned out that he had an unused pair of rears that wouldn't fit his 1992 car but will fit mine, so we've swapped.

So, the numbers are as follows:

Pre-1996 cars
Front Q34012910
Rear Q34012920 (slightly angular)

1996--97
Front Q34012930
Rear Q34012940 (smooth curve)

1998 onwards
Different again? Not sure.

I've read elsewhere that mudflaps can't be fitted to R129s with AMG body kit. I have a feeling that some of the special editions and the Silver Arrows may also be in that category (do they have AMG bolt-ons or their own variants?). Having looked at dozens of photos, I'm inclined to think that other post-1997 cars have the same bumper-end profiles as my car. Someone will no doubt confirm.

1999 SL320 standard body kit with mud flaps.

[MercedesTheBest]

i will stick with no mudflaps on my car thank you very much. the SL is low enough to not need them. haha

 

[Poundy]

Mine came with genuine rears when I bought it, but I removed them

This is a horrifying thread ! I had visions of the kind with the silhouette of the nekid girls, or Yosemite Sam on them. Let's get serious folks, who the heck wants to drive in the rain in 129 anyway ? Geez, now I've heard everything !

if i didnt drive in the rain in Vancouver i would never get to drive it! haha

plus these cars have headlamp washers may as well use them. haha

 

[tdoriot]

I feel your pain ! I live next to the other Vancouver, and you hit that nail on the head ! That being said, considering the cleaning, polishing and just the fact that water doesn't bring much good to cars, I don't drive in the rain. Your right, that cuts the days by about 2/3, but that's how the mop flops ! Besides, since I only really like driving with the top down, that works out well, since I don't like getting the inside wet either !

The last time I tried to use my windscreen wiper blade it had seized from lack of use

I fixed it up, and give it a work out now and then by washing the insects of the screen

I rarely even wash mine just keep Meguires Quick Detailer in the trunk, Clunk Click every Trip
