Intended Use and Fitment

The offered part belongs to the Front Fenders category and is designed for installation on the front of the vehicle on the right side. The panel's construction incorporates factory mounting points, contours, and the characteristic geometry of a premium class vehicle, which facilitates bodywork and reduces the need for additional modifications.

Its placement on the vehicle is clearly defined as the front right side, allowing for quick verification of compatibility with your car model and avoiding mistakes when selecting body parts.

Paint Finish and Color

The fender is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, a dark, metallic black characteristic of many configurations of this generation. The metallic paint structure ensures consistency with the factory finish, and the appropriately matched shade facilitates blending with adjacent body panels such as the hood, doors, or front bumper.

For paint shops, it is important that the panel already has a base color defined, which can shorten surface preparation time and simplify the color matching process for local repairs or touch-ups.

Performance Characteristics and Condition

The item is classified as a used front fender, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and has been verified for further installation suitability. This type of component is a cost-effective solution for users looking for original body panels at a reasonable price, while maintaining proper geometry and compatibility with factory mountings.

Technical specifications include, among others, a defined weight and assignment to a specific mounting location, which is important for both logistics and planning body and paint work in a professional workshop.

Benefits of Using an Original Fender

Using an original body panel in the front fenders category allows for maintaining proper gaps between elements, correct edge alignment, and mounting stability. This has a direct impact on:

• maintaining the vehicle's factory body line and aesthetics,
• proper alignment with the headlight, hood, and doors,
• reducing the need for additional adjustments during installation,
• easier restoration of the car's original appearance after an accident repair.

For workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand, it is also important that the panel has been designed with a specific body generation in mind, which facilitates maintaining quality standards in body repairs.
