Purpose and fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for the front right side of the body, which facilitates proper alignment of the gaps between the hood, bumper, and door. Thanks to its factory geometry, the component works well with original mounting points, reducing the need for additional bodywork modifications.

As a body group part, the fender supports the maintenance of the correct body line and helps in properly directing airflow along the side of the vehicle. This is particularly important during post-collision repairs, where both appearance and mounting stability are crucial.

Color and paint finish

The fender is finished in the Pure Silver Metallic - 900 shade, characteristic of many Mercedes models of this generation. The metallic paint coating ensures visual consistency with other body panels of the same color, which facilitates matching during repairs.

In practice, this means the possibility of reducing the scope of paint work if the paint on the vehicle is in a similar condition. For body and paint shops, this is a convenient solution that allows for shorter service times and optimized costs.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered fender is a used component, which provides a favorable compromise between price and functionality. This type of part retains its original construction and factory stampings, while allowing for an economical vehicle repair.

Choosing a used body component is particularly sensible for local damage, where maintaining the correct shape and mounting points is key, without the need to invest in a new panel. This solution is widely used by both workshops and users servicing their cars themselves.

Benefits of using an original fender

Using an original fender for the front right side of the body brings a number of practical benefits:

• preservation of the factory body line and proper fitment with adjacent elements,
• easier installation thanks to matched mounting points,
• color consistency with the Pure Silver Metallic - 900 paint,
• possibility of limiting the scope of paint work if the coating is in good condition,
• economical repair while maintaining the original body structure.
