Wonder why they stopped putting these on later 280SLs?

I'd like to install these, but don't think it'd be correct for my 1970

I have a set on my late 280SL and I was told they are not correct. They just make the look so much cleaner and keep the debris out of the upper shock mount hole.

Just a bit of diversion on the topic - But yes, the subframe covers are not correct for any 280 SL, as a matter of fact, they were deleted at 250 SL VIN ending 4190 , per the listing done by Frank Mallory, based from Engelen.

Well, the word is cost reduction...
There were a number of changes with this aim, on later W113 Pagoda cars.
In fact, over the whole production range of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
