W202 Wheel arch extensions

[bigasotonuk]

Hi all,
I was recently asked by a fellow MB owner if I had the pt. no. for the wheel arch extensions found on w202 AMG vehicles. As I thought he must of been mistaken as I had no such things fitted to mine, and had never seen a c43 with anything like this. But since then I have seen two w202's with what looks like narrow black plastic extensions on the arches. Does anyone know whether these are a Gen. MB mod if so does anyone have the pt. no's?
Ihave looked at the EPC an I can,t find anything listed.
Any info would be appreciated

They're genuine alright, I've got them on my C280 Sport. I thought they were standard on the C43.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
They may well of been but I have,nt seen many C43's with them fitted I believed they were an "accessory" rather than a standard fitment.
It turns out they were fitted to W202's that had the option of 17" wheels fitted.
74merc, how are yours fitted to the car? are they screwed onto the wheel arch liner or simply stuck on?

AMG Arch Extensions

Hello, the thin plastic strips to which you refer were standard fit on all C43/36 models. However, only stuck on and often come off over time. So when one goes, people tend to pull the others to match it up. Horribly expensive to replace from memory (for what it is).
