Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender has been designed specifically for the Mercedes B-Class W245 generation, intended for the front right side of the vehicle. The appropriate geometry of the mounting edges allows for installation at factory body points without the need for structural modifications. The component works with the original mounts, cowl panel, wheel arch liner, and trim strips intended for this model.

Characteristics of the Cosmic Black – 191 paint

The Cosmic Black – 191 color is a dark, metallic shade used by the factory in Mercedes vehicles, providing an elegant, understated look to the body. The metallic structure of the paint improves light reflection and helps to visually hide minor dirt, which is practical for daily use. Using the original color makes it easier to match the vehicle's existing paintwork and limits the scope of any potential paint jobs required after installation.

Protective and structural function

The front fender plays an important role in protecting the body structure from water, mud, road salt, and small stones thrown from under the wheel. A properly selected component:

• stabilizes the body contour in the front part of the vehicle,
• creates a working space for the wheel arch liner and internal covers,
• ensures the correct gap between the door, hood, and bumper,
• influences the correct airflow along the side of the car.

As a result, replacing a damaged fender with an original component allows you to restore the proper geometry of the side body section and reduce the risk of accelerated corrosion in the front wheel area.

Used condition and economic benefits

The item comes from the secondary market, which means it is a used, original Mercedes component. For workshops and individual users, this represents a favorable compromise between quality and repair costs – you maintain factory fitment and construction while reducing expenses compared to a new part. Choosing an original used fender is also a more environmentally sustainable solution, as it extends the component's life cycle.

Selection support and additional information

When selecting body components for a Mercedes, it is crucial to pay attention to the vehicle generation, mounting side, and paint color. In case of doubt, it is worth using the OEM number or interchangeable numbers visible in the technical specification to ensure that the fender will be compatible with the specific equipment version.
