Purpose and fitment

The presented fender has been designed specifically for Mercedes W204 series models, taking into account the geometry of the front body section and factory mounting points. Its placement on the vehicle covers the front right side, allowing for the precise replacement of a damaged component without interfering with adjacent body parts.

The original design ensures proper fitment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and door, which is crucial for maintaining correct panel gaps, aerodynamics, and proper water drainage from the body surface.

Obsidian Black Metallic paint finish

The fender is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, identified by paint code 197, which is widely used on Mercedes C-Class W204 generation models. The metallic paint coating allows for a visually consistent connection with other body panels, reducing the scope of additional paint work required after installation.

For body shops and end users, this means easier matching of the shade and paint structure, resulting in a more uniform final effect after collision repair or body restoration.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used component, the fender comes from dismantling and represents a cost-effective solution compared to new body panels. This type of part is particularly attractive for accident repairs, where both compliance with the original specifications and repair budget optimization are important.

Choosing an original, used fender allows for the preservation of factory geometry and material characteristics, which is essential for the durability of connections, stability of mounts, and proper body behavior during daily use.

Benefits of using an original fender

• Factory fitment for the Mercedes W204 body structure on the front right side.
• Original Obsidian Black Metallic color, facilitating a consistent visual effect.
• Fixed mounting points consistent with the manufacturer's design, which speeds up service work.
• An economical solution while maintaining the parameters of an original part.
