Yes, I would be interested in the full set. Are they in OK condition?
Wheel arch trims for a 79 244GL
Yep perfect.
Excellent news... Can you let me know how much you want? Thanks
They were standard on 264/265 in the '70's, but not available on other models, and dropped on the later 260's, not easy to find now.
Are they the same as the 164 trims? If so I will have some.
Not the same, though the rear ones will interchange. The profile is different, and the front ones are a different shape and length due to the different design of the guard openings.
I knew the front would be different and figured the rear would be too. ahh well, cant help on this one.
Thanks gents for the interest and info.
Tristan, funds transferred this morning so I will wait to hear further from you. Adrian

Following on from this discussion. How would I attach these wheel arch trims? I have an '86 wagon that has them and I have sourced some second hand ones however am unsure of the best way to securely attach them? Thanks.
It’s up to you but I wouldn’t bother
The only way to install them is by drilling holes into the sheetmetal and once fitted they trap dirt and moisture accelerating the inevitable rust process.
Evil things
Maybe I've called them by the wrong name, but my car has 3 of these flexible, chrome looking strips around the top of the wheel arches, that appear to be stuck on with some adhesive tape. I've sourced a 4th one, just wondering what the best automotive double-sided tape might be? 3M the best? Thanks.
The plastic trims? I thought you meant the stainless steel ones
In that case yes double sided adhesive
