How Much Should I Pay

[passin ewe]

Have been offered flared gaurds ( over riders ) or what ever you call them. They're $ 400. Is this a good price? and they were to suit a C110, but I gather they'll suit the C210.

The C110 have a different shape rear guard.

sigh ... many happy memories of my 240K 4dr. Nice pic (including the sea on the horizon).

Back to the thread, can you get your guards rolled instead (even at the risk of cracking the paint)?

Due to the rarity of this part in Australia $400 doesn't seem unreasonable. You can haunt the yahoo auctions in Japan looking for something cheaper, and then ask around for someone to post them over to you - but it might be a very long wait before some come up. Also check the 240k forum on classiczcars.com, as getting flares and spoilers made seems to be a hot topic over there.

Also double checking that 240k and c210 flares are the same sounds like a very good idea. Ill ask around and see if anyone knows.

Nigel, don't suppose you've got a 2 dor pic. I'm guessing the 4door is different to the coupe?

2 door vs 4 door 240ks: the shape of the front wheel arches is definitely identical, as the panels are interchangeable. Same goes for the rear wheel arches, however, there isnt a whole heap of clearance between the rear wheel arches and the rear doors for the sedan.

I watch some carbon fibre flares go on ebay.au the other week for $300, I was thinking about bidding, but I didn't know how carbon fibre and fibre glass would hold together ( I have a 4 door, and the rear flares would need modifying)

so I decided to look into getting fibre glass one.

Nigel, those flares on ebay.au were purchased by my friend Shane here in W.A. Cost him $400 all up. The ones I was looking at were same mould and from the same person. Thankfully i waited till Shanes arrived ( yesterday), but they are NOT contoured to fit a C210 coupe even remotely. So the hunt goes on.My friend will probably put them back on ebay. Maybe they'll fit a C110,who knows. Guess that's the downside of buying unseen (physically).

Does your friend still have the C110 flares? Are they definitely C110 items? They look more like 240Z flares/overfenders if thats them in the photos you posted.
