Purpose and Fitment

The presented fender is specifically designed for Mercedes B-Class W245 models, intended for the front, right side of the vehicle. This means maintaining the correct body line, proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and front door, without the need for modifications or forced adjustments.

The factory geometry of the part allows for:

• correct alignment of gaps between body panels,
• stable mounting in original mounting points,
• maintaining the factory rigidity of the front body section.

Color and Paint Finish

The fender is finished in the Night Black Metallic - 696 color, characteristic of many Mercedes W245 models. The metallic black provides an elegant, understated look and complements both dark and lighter body styling elements.

For the user, this means the possibility of limiting paintwork – in many cases, polishing and potential spot blending are sufficient, which reduces repair time and cost.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The fender comes from disassembly, which allows for preserving the original material quality and factory sheet metal thickness. A used part is a good choice when you prioritize:

• compliance with the factory Mercedes specification,
• avoiding problems with fitting characteristic body lines,
• reducing repair costs while maintaining a high standard of workmanship.

Original construction ensures compatibility with standard wheel arch mounts, covers, and plastic elements, facilitating installation in workshop conditions.

Benefits of Using an Original Fender

Using an original right front fender for the Mercedes W245 allows for restoring the vehicle to a near-factory condition, both visually and structurally. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where the following are crucial:

• mounting stability and correct load transfer in the wheel arch area,
• maintaining proper airflow and protecting the engine bay from dirt,
• an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the vehicle's side profile without visible differences in shape or paint shade.

Selecting Parts by Technical Parameters

To ensure proper fitment, it is advisable to verify the fender's compatibility with the specific equipment version and year of the vehicle, using manufacturer markings and catalog data. If necessary, you can refer to reference numbers and color codes to avoid ordering errors.
