I agree. I put one on my Miata a few years ago. I could only stand the ill fitting thing for a couple of months before going OEM. All depends on how picky one is I suppose.

Well my first choice would have been ones the same color no such luck. Second choice would have been clean rust free used fenders still have not found any!!!!

This company advertises in Hemmings a lot. I have never done any business with them so I can not attest to the quality of their products or service. Buyer beware...

Mamali - unless you restoring a collector's car-grade Benz, I would not hesitate to use aftermarket panels, especially if you are talking a daily driver. I bought aftermarket panels made in Taiwan for a family car (E320). The fit was excellent and they have held up thus far. They came pre-primed and bolted right on, easy install.

Good luck!

I have heard nothing but bad things about Adsit. Honestly I would try and find something on ebay, or throw a post up on the classifieds here. There are so many w123s out there ready to be junked, there must be some decent fenders from the members on here.

I've just contacted MBCA and had your subscription to Star magazine canceled.

AdsitCo has a horrible rep.... you might do a search here even on them.

Im not a huge fan of BBB but... Adsitco has D rating with them..
portends for a less than stellar online buying experience.

I have not heard good things about Adsit either.

DeliveryValve 06-03-2010 05:23 PM

As stated earlier, just get a good used rust free fender.

Panels have been over for over two years, and winter driven, they are holding up fine. Can't say the same for the stock chassis...I'm a staunch MB supporter but the chassis/metal on the W210 isn't up to par.
