Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed for installation on the front right side of Mercedes W245 family models. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the correct body geometry. The component belongs to the Wheel arches and rear fenders group, although in this case, it serves as a front fender, responsible for protecting the wheel arch and directing air and debris away from the wheel outline.

Technical and functional characteristics

The fender is an integral part of the side bodywork, working in conjunction with the headlight, bumper, sill, and door. Its purpose is to:

• protect the wheel and wheel arch from water, mud, and small stones,
• maintain the rigidity of the body edge in the front zone,
• provide a proper surface for mounting trim elements,
• maintain the vehicle's factory styling line.

Proper profiling of the mounting edges allows for the correct adjustment of gaps between adjacent panels, which is important for both aesthetics and the aerodynamics and acoustics of the body.

Color and finish – Cosmic Black Metallic

The component is finished in Cosmic Black Metallic – 191, characteristic of many Mercedes equipment configurations. The metallic black emphasizes the side line of the body and blends well with both chrome and dark styling accessories. In many cases, this allows for limiting paint work to potential minor corrections only, which shortens repair time and reduces costs.

Condition and service application

The fender is a used original component, which means it comes from vehicle dismantling and retains factory geometry and construction solutions characteristic of the manufacturer. This type of part is particularly useful for accident repairs, corrosion corrections within the wheel arch, or when replacing damaged bodywork on the front right side of the vehicle.

Integration with other Mercedes body components

Fender replacement often involves work in a wider area of the side body. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the wheel arch and side body area in your Mercedes and need other elements from the same group, such as additional panels, wheel arch liners, or other fenders, check the available parts in the Mercedes wheel arches and rear fenders category.
