Probably reviving a dead topic here but wandering if anyone knows where you can get some flares to run fatter tyres ?

Plenty of universal plastic flares on ebay, or you can import custom MB flares from Ginyakobo in Japan if you have deeper pockets.

I got some of those generic strip ones from Ebay for my X-Trail and put them on.
It's pretty easy, just cut to size and screw them in. Here's a pic of how it turned out:

Ok so from ginyakobo they are around 300. What would they tack on for freight /import fees ?

Late thought. But flares off cars from similar times like the cappo or the old swift, would they fit up ?

Last time I checked it was about $600 landed. Exchange rate is up to shit.
Swift flares might work, problem is that fibreglass doesn't flex much. PU flares are better if you need to bend them to fit.

Kinda hoped the swift ones would seems the overall shape of the flares are squarer and would suit the mb a bit better
