1981 Mercedes 240D Front Fenders

What's a good site to order front fenders from that won't rot away in the first 5 years? Looking for quality parts.

best thing to do is find good fenders from a post 82 123 sedan or wagon and bolt them on.
the original metal is the BEST. prior to 82 is non galvanized and rots easily.
of course, getting fenders from CA or AZ will be rust free no matter what year they are from... maybe.
southern fenders are safer than northern...
if you want new... good luck!

Where do you live? place it in the upper right of ea post.

I see good fender in out PNP`s all the time. now having said that, PNP seems to do a fair amount of damage to the fenders (and doors) with the fork lifts banging the cars around. Once in a while I come across good ones they forgot to damage.
