Wheel arch trim

DriftKr6l · 01-12-2022, 11:53 AM

Do US M2CS cars come with these wheel arch trims?
If so, anyone take em off and willing to sell them to me?

No wheel arch trim on US cars. Not sure about Canada, or if you can find the part online. I can't imagine they would be expensive.

IND sells this here:

Can't imagine why anyone would want to put this on their car, its only on EU cars due to EU regulations. EU owners want to take them off cause they are a hideous piece of plastic.

Love IND, but you can find OE parts for cheaper elsewhere.

Well this isn't a US OE part, cause it's only on EU cars for regulatory purposes. I'm not sure you can order this everywhere.

Not first hand information but seen plenty of posting about it and chatter on how water, dirty and stuff gets stuck in and under the trim and the rubbing has really marred up the paint finish. IF you were to install them, I'd search some on that and possibly do a little PPF edging to protect the paint. Just passing on some info I found when I also was considering them.

The search isn't hard. And yes, fully aware AT is using IND photos. They sell IND parts as 3rd party, but hey, you're welcome to pay the full price if you'd like

DriftKr6l · 01-12-2022, 07:47 PM

Great info.
Thank you

Not just EU spec cars. Cars in Aus also have them. I seem to be in a minority that likes them. They lower the wheel arch gap about half an inch and add a nice colour contrast IMO.

Love them on mine, great contrast with black and blue and adds to all the other contrast bits. Car looks lower and wider without having to mess up your suspension.

DriftKr6l · 01-12-2022, 11:15 PM

Exactly. I like the looks

AUSf22 · 01-13-2022, 12:40 AM

I have a set that you can have, they were taken off my car right after delivery so they are in new condition.

You can have them for half the cost of IND if you want but I don't know how expensive shipping to the US is for these .. I'm located in Australia

I love this combo. If I'd seen it in person I may have gone for it.

PM'ed you

Beenz · 01-13-2022, 06:02 PM

Another +1 for like the look.
I had every intention of removing them based on the dirt/rubbing stories, but I actually really like how it accents the wheel arch and it matches other contrast elements (car is MB/black).

ZL9M2 · 01-13-2022, 06:16 PM

I bought my set from someone in the UK that had removed them. Probably your best bet.

Haha. I always say the same about your car.

Yes. I have no idea why but they just didn't look right on the M2C. Great that they can go to a good home.

Your car looks like a dream.. Love it 😍💭 🚗

#Appreciate 👍🏻

Had these removed when I got the PPF done.

If my spec was with the black wheels I think I would have kept the arch extensions as it looks more suiting aesthetically and less distracting versus a car with gold wheels. Just my opinion.
