I want to install chrome wheel arch fender trim on my 1980 300SD. Which brand is the best quality, and where do I get it?

For $350 I can get an NOS German-made set from 1980, same year my car was made. However, I can't justify the expense.

I remember that ********'s website used to sell Autotrim Accessories brand with "RADLAUF-SCHUTZZIERLEISTEN FENDER MOULDINGS" written on the box with a German address. Now they sell Uro Parts brand and I wonder if they are any good?

I already tried TFP brand that is a "no-drill" clip-on type. Only no clips are included and they tell you to use screws anyway, which defeats the purpose of their "no drill" claim. Also, the trim was too narrow and fit poorly so it was a rip-off and I returned it for a refund.

I want to find a QUALITY set of wheel arch trim that fits the entire shape of the fender arch and not just part of it like some others I have seen. I also want consistent hole placement so if they get scratched or damaged I can replace them and use the existing holes I drilled in my fenders.

Does anyone have experience with certain brands and have pictures to show the fit? If I am to drill holes in my fenders I don't want cheap junk on there.
