Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed as a component mounted in the front zone, on the right side of the vehicle, which guarantees compatibility with the factory Mercedes body geometry. The wing's construction allows for proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and door, reducing the risk of uneven gaps and stress in the bodywork.

The original origin from the Mercedes brand means maintaining the correct rigidity, appropriate sheet metal thickness, and compatibility with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and subsequent adjustment of adjacent components.

Color and paint layer

The fender is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic - 775, one of the popular metallic silver paint shades used in Mercedes models. This color selection often allows for limiting paintwork to potential touch-ups and polishing, which shortens repair time and reduces body restoration costs.

The metallic paint coating provides a consistent visual effect with the remaining body panels, and the appropriate shade of silver helps maintain the vehicle's aesthetics after a collision repair or replacement of a damaged part.

Structural characteristics and installation

The fender belongs to the Front fenders group, meaning its geometry has been developed to operate in a zone exposed to external factors such as water, road debris, or aerodynamic loads. Properly shaped edges allow for correct wheel arch guidance and the installation of covers and internal components.

The placement on the vehicle defined as front - right facilitates the selection of the correct component during repairs after a side or front-side collision. Thanks to the retention of factory dimensions, it is possible to use standard assembly procedures in a body shop without the need for body structure modifications.

Condition and benefits of use

The item is offered as Used, which allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining original build quality. Using a used OEM fender is often a beneficial solution for post-accident repairs when the priority is combining reasonable costs with proper fitment and durability.

An additional advantage is the presence of the factory Iridium Silver Metallic color, which in many cases allows for limiting the scope of painting, translating into shorter vehicle downtime at the workshop and a more predictable final result.

Identification and vehicle compatibility

For precise part selection, you can use identifiers such as SKU or OEM part number, as well as available interchangeable numbers, which facilitate verification of compatibility with a specific version of the Mercedes R171 body. This approach minimizes the risk of purchasing the wrong item and speeds up the process of preparing the vehicle for repair.

The product is assigned to the Front fenders category, which clearly defines its function in the body structure and facilitates searching for appropriate components during body and paint work.
