Purpose and fitment

The presented fender has been designed specifically for Mercedes R170 series models, taking into account factory mounting points and the shape of the front bodywork. Its placement in the Front, Right zone ensures proper body line alignment, correct fitment with the hood, bumper, and door, and the preservation of original structural rigidity in the front part of the vehicle.

Thanks to the use of the original panel geometry, it is possible to precisely recreate factory gaps between elements, which is important both for aesthetics and for the correct distribution of forces in the body during operation.

Color and finish Linarite Blue Metallic - 352

The Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 color is a characteristic metallic shade used on Mercedes vehicles, which emphasizes the body lines and works well with light reflections. Using the factory color on the fender allows for a reduction in paintwork required when replacing the component, especially when the other panels of the vehicle are in the same shade.

The metallic coating provides a consistent visual effect with other body elements, and the properly prepared surface of the fender facilitates any potential paint corrections or polishing during the fitting process to the rest of the body.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered fender is a used component, which in practice means it comes from a vehicle disassembly and has been verified for installation suitability. This type of part is a beneficial solution for post-accident repairs when the priority is to maintain the original body structure while optimizing costs.

Choosing a used OEM fender allows for the preservation of factory sheet metal thickness, the correct profile of stampings, and compatibility with original mounts, which facilitates the work of the body technician and shortens the time required to fit the element to the car.

Application in body repairs

The front fender on the right side plays an important role in protecting the engine compartment, wheel arch, and suspension components from water, mud, and minor stone impacts. Replacing a damaged panel with a functional fender from the R170 series allows for the restoration of:

• the correct body outline in the front part of the vehicle,
• proper airflow along the side of the car,
• protection of mechanical components within the right wheel arch.

For body and paint shops, using an original fender means less corrective work, which translates into a more predictable repair completion time and stable final quality.
