Best to find the part numbers and start Googling.

Maybe MB still supplies them. If so, prepare to open the wallet wide. Very wide.

With the right part numbers, you may strike luck with New Old Stock but it's a long shot.

There may be aftermarket suppliers - as there are for my W124 - but I've heard that fitting can be tricky and may absorb much of the savings made by choosing aftermarket.

Others will know more than I.

MB themselves for best quality if the car is a keeper

mb classic parts centre (fender search is showing them)

A1298800118 and '318 seems right but double check

118 without the side repeater, 318 with the hole (left)

from my experience patten wings are usually pants, put some on my W124 years ago, the difference just in weight was night and day and the pattens were akin to a bean tin.

If the cars a keeper, get original.

Ask for discount, dont be shy. Call MB grangemouth.

did you try what I mentioned in my eralier post.
