I haven't checked to see if those parts you want are available via Mercedes or not. I'm sorry to report that if they are it would probably be cheaper to get someone to bend some new ones for you. .
I haven't checked with local dealer, but US based on-line dealer wants about $40 per bracket.

I have a shop that will do the welding for $50/hr, so it may be worthwhile buying the brackets if he decides they need replacement rather than repair. I am sure it will take more than an hour to make a bracket!

Anyone hazard a guess as to how many hours for weld repair job assuming same work on both rear wheel wells?
