Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for Mercedes W204 series models as a component mounted on the front right side of the body. The design, compliant with factory mounting points, allows for precise alignment with the hood, bumper, and doors, which reduces the need for additional bodywork.

The proper shaping of the edges and contours supports the correct alignment of the body lines, which is important both for aesthetics and for maintaining the proper geometry of the front zone.

Obsidian Black 197 color

The fender is finished in the factory shade of Obsidian Black 197, one of the popular metallic paints used on Mercedes vehicles. Using the original color:

• makes it easier to match the component to the vehicle's existing paint,
• limits the scope of any potential painting to corrections and blending,
• allows for maintaining a consistent, aesthetic look of the entire right side of the body.

For body and paint shops, this means a shorter vehicle preparation time and greater predictability of the final result.

Performance characteristics and installation

The fender belongs to the Front fenders group, responsible for protecting the front wheel arch area and directing airflow around the wheel. A correctly selected component contributes to:

• protecting the wheel arch chamber from water and debris,
• stability of mounting covers and inner wheel arch liners,
• maintaining the correct gap lines between body components.

The product is intended for installation at factory mounting points, which facilitates efficient replacement of a damaged component in service or workshop conditions.

Condition and origin

The fender is a used component, which in practice allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original body structure. Choosing parts from dismantling is a solution often used in professional workshops when the priority is to maintain factory fitment and geometry at reasonable repair costs.
