Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for installation on the front left side of Mercedes W245 series vehicles. The component's construction is compatible with factory mounting points, facilitating proper alignment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and driver's door. This ensures that the correct panel gaps and body line geometry are maintained without the need for additional modifications.

Color and paint layer

The fender is finished in Horizon Blue Metallic - 391, characteristic of the Mercedes paint palette. The metallic paint coating provides a visually consistent effect with the rest of the body in the same shade, which limits the scope of any necessary paintwork to polishing or minor touch-ups. For body shops, this means time savings in color matching and easier achievement of a uniform gloss across the entire surface of the component.

Technical and installation characteristics

The fender belongs to the group of exterior body components responsible for protecting the front of the vehicle from mechanical damage and debris from the wheels. Its placement on the vehicle in the front, left-hand zone requires maintaining appropriate rigidity and mounting stability so that the component works correctly with other body panels. The product has a specific weight, which is important both during transport and during installation on the vehicle, especially when working on a lift or frame machine.

Condition of the component and use in repairs

As a secondary market part in used condition, the fender is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, collision corrections, or replacing corroded body parts. Using an original component from dismantling allows for the preservation of factory material and structural characteristics, which is significant for the durability and subsequent operation of the vehicle. Such components are frequently chosen by workshops specializing in Mercedes repairs, as well as by users independently sourcing body parts.

Support with selection and additional information

The product has assigned catalog numbers and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. If necessary, it is worth comparing the markings with service documentation or consulting the selection with a mechanic to ensure that the fender will be properly matched to the given car model. Specified parameters, such as brand, condition, placement on the vehicle, color, or weight, are clearly defined in the technical specification, which facilitates an informed choice of the component.
