Application and body function

The described fender is designed for installation on the front left side of the Mercedes B-Class W245 generation. As a body panel component, it is responsible for:

• protecting the wheel and suspension components from water, mud, and small stones,
• maintaining the stable body line in the front part of the car,
• proper alignment with the hood, bumper, and driver's door.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the fender supports the maintenance of correct mounting gaps, which facilitates precise adjustment of adjacent elements and reduces the risk of unwanted stress on the bodywork.

Color and paint finish

The component is finished in the attractive Mineral Grau Metallic – B39 color, which belongs to the palette of grays used by the manufacturer in versions with a more elegant, understated character. The metallic paint structure:

• highlights the body line and the fender's contours,
• ensures good compatibility with other shades of gray and silver on the vehicle,
• facilitates potential color matching during paint work.

In the case of post-accident repairs or spot paint corrections, this shade helps achieve an aesthetic final result while maintaining the car's factory character.

Installation characteristics

As an original fender designed for the Mercedes W245, the component is engineered for factory mounting points on the body. This means:

• maintaining the correct edge geometry relative to the door, hood, and bumper,
• the ability to install using standard brackets and bolts,
• no need for structural modifications to the bodywork.

Such a solution shortens repair time and facilitates the work of body shops and painters, while also reducing the risk of fitment issues in the future.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The fender is used, which in practice means a favorable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original build quality. Choosing such a component allows you to:

• reduce expenses compared to a new part,
• maintain factory fitment and rigidity parameters,
• reduce waste by reusing functional parts.
