Intended Use and Fitment for Mercedes ML W164

The offered fender is dedicated to the Mercedes ML W164 model and is mounted on the front right side of the vehicle. The OEM construction ensures correct stamping lines, compatibility with factory mounting points, and proper alignment with the hood, bumper, door, and wheel arch. This maintains the body's geometry and the correct gap alignment between panels after proper installation.

Color and Paint Finish

The fender is in the color Obsidian Black Metallic – 197, a popular metallic black used on many ML W164 models. This shade can minimize the scope of painting work, especially if the vehicle has the same paint code. The metallic finish complements the vehicle's lines, emphasizing the distinctive, robust profile of the Mercedes SUV.

Technical Specifications of the Body Part

As a part from the Wheel Arches and Rear Fenders category, the offered fender plays a crucial protective and structural role in the front axle wheel arch area. It is responsible for:

• shielding the front wheel from water, mud, and small stones,
• securely mounting inner wheel arch liners and adjacent components,
• maintaining the lateral rigidity of the body section,
• preserving the vehicle's original styling lines.

The appropriately selected weight of the component contributes to maintaining the suspension's factory performance characteristics and does not introduce undesirable changes to the weight distribution on the front axle.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Using a Used Part

This part comes from a used vehicle, allowing for factory fitment at a more favorable purchase cost compared to a new component. An original fender from dismantling is a good solution wherever maintaining compliance with the factory body specification is a priority, without the need for aftermarket alternatives with uncertain fitment.

Why Choose This Fender for Your Mercedes ML W164

Using the original front right fender in Obsidian Black Metallic allows you to:

• restore a cohesive appearance to the right side of the body after a collision or corrosion,
• maintain the styling lines and characteristic stampings of the ML W164 model,
• minimize bodywork adjustments thanks to factory mounting points,
• reduce painting work if the vehicle's paint code matches the applied color.
