Purpose and body fitment for Mercedes W204

The presented fender has been designed specifically for the front left side of the Mercedes C-Class W204 generation body. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which helps maintain proper body geometry and correct gaps between the hood, doors, and bumper. As a result, the component works well with factory mounts, cowl panels, wheel arch liners, and decorative trims intended for this model.

Obsidian Black Metallic color – benefits for paint repairs

The fender is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, used as standard on many Mercedes W204 units. For body and paint shops, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of paintwork, and under favorable conditions, matching the component with minimal shade correction. The metallic coating helps maintain a consistent appearance of the entire side of the vehicle, which is particularly important for repairs after a collision or localized corrosion.

Functional and assembly characteristics

The fender belongs to the group of structural and protective body components, responsible for protecting the front wheel, engine bay, and sills from water, mud, and minor mechanical damage. Its placement on the front left part of the vehicle requires maintaining appropriate rigidity and stability, which is why it is essential to use a component with the correct geometry and weight. The product is prepared for installation in place of the factory fender, using standard mounting points and original mounting hardware.

Technical parameters and part identification

The component belongs to the Mercedes brand and is classified in the Front fenders category, which facilitates its identification in parts catalogs and selection for a specific W204 body version. The part has an assigned OEM number and interchangeable numbers, allowing it to be verified against service documentation or the manufacturer's catalog. The specified weight of the fender allows for safe planning of transport, storage, and installation in workshop conditions.

Product condition and service application

The offered fender is a used component, making it an attractive solution for economic repairs where a reasonable cost is important while maintaining the vehicle's original specifications. This type of part will work well in both professional body shops and independent workshops carrying out post-accident repairs, body restorations, or replacements of corroded elements.
