Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender has been designed specifically for the front right side of the body, ensuring proper body line alignment, correct fitment with the hood, bumper, and doors, and stable mounting using factory points. As a result, the component works well with factory brackets, supports, and covers, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Its placement in the front zone allows for effective restoration of the side structure after a collision or corrosion, while maintaining the correct wheel arch geometry and adequate clearance for the suspension and wheel.

Elbaite Green Metallic color – repair benefits

The fender is finished in the factory Elbaite Green Metallic color, which is a significant advantage for post-accident repairs and spot body corrections. The metallic shade allows for an aesthetic match with other components painted in the same color, and with proper surface preparation, it can limit the scope of painting to local touch-ups.

Such a solution is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain a consistent vehicle appearance, reduce repair time, and optimize costs associated with fully painting the entire side of the car.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the fender has already been in service on a vehicle, which in practice means it may show signs of wear typical for body components. At the same time, it retains a construction consistent with the manufacturer's factory specifications, which is essential for proper installation, connection rigidity, and compatibility with other body panels.

Choosing an original, used fender from this series is often a reasonable compromise between quality and repair cost – you receive a component with factory geometry and the correct profile, without the typical inaccuracies that may occur in cheaper replacements.

Technical and installation aspects

The fender belongs to the Front Fenders group, meaning it is a key component covering the wheel, the wheel arch cavity, and part of the front structure. Its design is adapted to operate in an area exposed to water, mud, and road debris, which is why proper installation is important for both aesthetics and protection against corrosion.

The component has a specific weight, which translates into appropriate rigidity and stability after mounting. During installation, it is recommended to use the factory mounting points and check the gaps relative to the hood, doors, and bumper to maintain even lines and correct body aerodynamics.
