Purpose and body fitment

This fender has been specifically designed for Mercedes W245 series models, taking into account factory mounting points and the body lines characteristic of this model. The vehicle placement, defined as front – right side, ensures clear identification for installation and eliminates the risk of errors when selecting parts.

By maintaining the original geometry, this component allows for proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and passenger door, which is crucial for both aesthetics and correct panel gap distribution.

Color and paint finish

The fender comes in Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic - 748, the factory metallic grey shade used on Mercedes W245 bodies. The metallic paint coating provides characteristic color depth and a good match to other body parts with the same paint code, which in many cases allows for reducing or completely avoiding the need for repainting.

Uniform color and paint code compliance are particularly important in post-accident repairs, where not only correct geometry but also visual continuity of the body surface is essential.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a component from the Front fenders category, this part serves a protective function for the engine bay, wheel arch, and suspension components against water, mud, and road debris. The fender construction is adapted to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of the damaged part without the need for modifications.

The product is in used condition, meaning it has been removed from a vehicle but retains full structural functionality required for further use. For body and paint shops as well as services specializing in the Mercedes brand, it represents a practical solution for body repairs, allowing for cost optimization compared to purchasing a new part.

Practical application and benefits of choosing this part

Using an original front right fender in Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic - 748 allows you to:

• maintain stylistic consistency of the bodywork across the entire right side of the vehicle,
• preserve the factory lines and contours characteristic of the W245 series,
• minimize the scope of paint work thanks to paint code compliance,
• reduce repair time due to perfect fitment with original mounting points.

For users who value compliance with the factory specifications of the Mercedes brand, choosing such a component is a beneficial compromise between quality and the cost of body repair.
