Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for Mercedes W212 models and is mounted on the front right side of the vehicle. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and helps maintain proper gaps between the hood, bumper, doors, and other body panels. As a result, after replacement, it is possible to achieve an aesthetic, predictable body line consistent with the manufacturer's specifications.

Color and paint finish

The fender is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, one of the popular dark metallic shades used on Mercedes vehicles. Using the correct paint code significantly limits the scope of any potential paintwork and makes it easier to match the existing finish on the vehicle.

Condition and service application
