Obtaining W460 Kotflügelverbreiterungen

Hi all,

I need some help tracking down a set of wheel-arch flares for my W460. Unfortunately as they imported less than 200 of these vehicles into Australia getting parts is not always easy.

I would be happy to pay for shipping of these items from overseas, I've even found a set on Ebay.de, the problem is finding someone who is willing to send them to me.

If you have a set or can get ahold of a set your help would be most appreciated. I'm looking at paying under e200 plus shipping.

Thanks.

RE: Obtaining W460 Kotflügelverbreiterungen

I have had a local boat shop make moulds to reproduce 460 flares
in fiberglass. He needs to recuperate the cost of the moulds and even
making the flares is quite labour intensive so he is selling the
set for 800Can which is still cheap for anyone who has priced
them from Mercedes. They are of the earlier version to 1987
slightly wider and squarer resembling G55 flares. The advantage
of fiberglass is that it is easily reparable.

P.S. they need a bit of finishing and paint to install

RE: Obtaining W460 Kotflügelverbreiterungen

Hi, I checked this out once, kept the file in case I would buy. The first version were fiberglass,
then they changed to rubber-like. The rubber types are more flexible and wont break easily.
If you have loads of patience I could help with buying ans sending, but it would cost you a awful lot if
I bought them in Norway (multiply by 2) in addition to P&P from Norway!
The prices below are the German with 16% tax.

You have to double check the parts number below, some might be expired, as the parts.
I haven't found the difference between 460 and 463 flares, anyone who knows?
I have seen some who fitted 463 flares on 460, don't know why?

In addition to the Kotflügelverbreiterungen you need the wider end caps on the bumper,
then you need the seal between the flares and the car body, brackets, screws and nuts.

Once you're mounting this you probably want to the inner plastic guards, Innenkotflügel?
These comes in two types, wide for the flares, and narrow without flares.
These are only made to the 463, so they need some work and adjustments to fit the 460.

Nathan,

stay away from fiberglass fender flares. Mercedes went to the new material after the first fiberglass series because little rocks thrown up by the tires will over time crack the fiberglass - they start looking really ugly within a year if the car is used beyond pavement

....If you have a set or can get ahold of a set your help would be most appreciated. I'm looking at paying under e200 plus shipping. Thanks.

I have a used set in good condition, only a couple years use on them, and could ship them to Oz.  The only trouble is that I can't in good conscience let them go for 200 euro.  My usual treatment of used parts in good serviceable condition is 1/2 of new price.  I can knock that down some more under special circumstances, or if new prices are stupid high (as I think they are for these flares).  But who knows, I might find a use for these some day, so I still feel like I can't let them go for anything less than $650 USD + shipping.

Re: Obtaining W460 Kotflügelverbreiterungen

Thank you all for your valuable insights and offers. I really don't mind paying up to US$650 for a set, only as I have seen them cheaper on Ebay etc. the price seems a little high.
