Has anyone seem them at their dealers? I called mine but no luck.

the front ones from MSport are suitable for the Xline ... the rear ones are NOT! (I bought a month ago) |
Look like Amazon has them, I ordered mine and they are shipping from China...
I asked the vendor if they fit.. they confirmed it would fit msport..
Good luck

I have similar (probably the same) installed on G05 M Sport; I bought mine from an Aliexpress vendor, very likely all of these are the same factory source. They do fit and yes, they do require installing (drilling or just self tapping into plastic) 2 additional screws each in addition to using 2 stock bolts each. The end result is a good fit and they look fine, as good as a stock would look if it existed. The two extra screws each help to flex them into shape to align with the curve of the fenders. It is much much easier to install with the corresponding wheel off, so I did mine at last spring's winter to summer wheels changeover.
In terms of whether they make a difference, I was hoping for night and day, but it's not quite that good. For example, the hatch still gets pretty dirty when it's winter wet outside, but I guess it is less than before. And I guess the fronts protect the sides from road stones a bit, but that is impossible to judge in real time.
