Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for the Mercedes W251 model and is mounted on the front right side of the body. The construction based on factory mounting points ensures proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and door, which facilitates bodywork and reduces the need for additional modifications.

By maintaining the original geometry, the component effectively channels water and debris away from the wheel arch, supporting the protection of the vehicle's load-bearing structure and suspension components in this area.

Obsidian Black Metallic paint finish

The fender is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, marked with paint code 197, characteristic of many Mercedes trim levels. The metallic coating gives the body an elegant, deep shade of black with a subtle reflective effect in the light, which improves the visual consistency of the car after repair.

Choosing a component in the same factory color can in many cases reduce the scope of paint work, which shortens repair time and helps optimize body restoration costs.

Technical characteristics and installation

The fender belongs to the Front wings group, meaning it is designed to work in demanding operating conditions – in direct contact with water, road salt, and stone chips. The properly shaped wheel arch edge and the line of the stampings ensure correct airflow around the body and an aesthetic transition between adjacent panels.

The component is prepared for installation at the standard mounting points provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The appropriate weight of the fender promotes mounting stability and maintains the proper rigidity of the entire wheel arch zone.

Condition and use in body repairs

The product is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Such components are particularly useful for post-accident repairs, local corrosion corrections, and restoring the factory look of the body after mechanical damage.

Choosing an original fender from dismantling often translates into better fitment than in the case of aftermarket replacements, which is important both for aesthetics and for the correct setting of panel gaps.
