I would think the SLK320 versions would be identical.

Found this listing at a resource near me. Gives you a MB P/N to search for. Or a vendor to order what you need & have it shipped. Their price is better than I thought. Probably need to contact & confirm fitment to the Crossfire.

Here's the link to their website: CLICK. If they won't ship to you, let me know. They'll ship to me & then I'll ship to you. You can pay me via PayPal.

Hope this helps. Later,

Found this listing in eBay-UK once I searched by M-B Part Number: CLICK. Apparently M-B used this same backing plate on quite a few models over the years. Figures.

Clean them up, prime & paint. Good as new.

Hi dedwards0323, thanks very much for doing all that work, you`re a star, I`ve emailed OEM and the company in China and await response, I seen the 2nd hand ones, but if possible I`d like to get them brand new if possible, I`ll let you know when I get response/s, Regards, James

I submitted an inquiry to OE Discount Parts to find out of SLK320 splash guards were the same ones on the Crossfire NA. OE Discount Parts confirmed this in an eMail reply to me. See attached file.
