Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for Mercedes W245 series models, intended for installation on the front right side of the body. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and passenger door. As a result, this component can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing worn-out body parts.

Color and paint finish

The fender is finished in Kosmos Black Metallic, which helps maintain the characteristic, elegant look of the Mercedes body. The metallic paint coating provides depth of color and an attractive light effect, while also making it easier to match with other body panels in the same shade. For an optimal visual effect, it is recommended to verify color compatibility with the vehicle's other body panels in each case.

Technical characteristics and installation

The element belongs to the Front fenders group, meaning it is responsible for protecting the front right wheel arch from water, mud, and debris thrown by the wheel, as well as maintaining the proper geometry of the body lines. The fender is designed for installation at factory mounting points, which allows for:

• maintaining correct gaps between body components,
• a stable connection with adjacent panels,
• restoring the vehicle's original side line.

Due to the nature of the used part, a standard inspection of the surface condition and preparation according to the individual paint and installation requirements of the vehicle is recommended before assembly.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The product comes from the used parts segment, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing such a solution is particularly beneficial for repairing older vehicles, where it is crucial to combine a reasonable budget with maintaining the factory look and installation compatibility. An original fender from dismantling is also a way to reduce the risk of fitment issues typical of some aftermarket replacements.

Body zone and repair expansion

The front right fender operates in a critical body zone, exposed to parking damage, corrosion, and the effects of minor collisions. Replacing this element is often associated with a parallel assessment of the condition of the bumper, inner wheel arch, or headlight mounts, which is why choosing the right component has a direct impact on the final repair result – both in terms of appearance and functionality.
