MR129 Type C – Touring Side Skirt Flare | Mercedes-Benz R129 Facelift Non-Sport (1996–2002) — Ready-to-Install

Enhancement you have to look twice to notice—tight, factory-inspired fitment for owners who want a sharper look without it reading as aftermarket. Refined, OEM+ styling designed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz R129.

READY-TO-INSTALL PHYSICAL KIT

The MR129 Type C – Touring Side Skirt Flares are an original MR129 design developed exclusively for facelift Mercedes-Benz R129 non-sport models (1996–2002). Designed as compact overlay extensions for the factory side skirts, they subtly widen the lower body while improving the visual flow between the front and rear bumpers. The result is a cleaner, more cohesive appearance that enhances the factory styling without overpowering it.

Developed from high-resolution 3D scans of the factory side skirts, the original geometry was used to engineer precise mounting surfaces and OEM-inspired fitment. The exterior styling has been completely redesigned by MR129, creating a refined enhancement that integrates naturally with the vehicle while remaining an original design—not a reproduction of any historical AMG or tuner component.
