Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender is designed specifically for Mercedes W204 class models and is mounted on the front right side of the body. Its placement on the passenger side ensures proper reproduction of the factory wheel arch geometry, hood line, and bumper, which facilitates achieving even gaps and correct alignment with adjacent panels.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer’s factory standards, the component provides a solid base for professional post-accident repair or replacement of a worn-out fender, without the need for modifications to mounts or mounting edges.

Color and finish Indigolite Blue Metallic – 230

The fender is in the Indigolite Blue Metallic – 230 color, characteristic of many Mercedes W204 units. The metallic blue paint allows for maintaining visual consistency of the body, which limits the scope of potential paint work and facilitates matching the vehicle’s existing paint coating.

Such a finish is particularly beneficial for repairs where the goal is to restore the car’s aesthetics as quickly as possible while maintaining the original color character of the body.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used component, the fender comes from dismantling and retains the factory structural specifications inherent to Mercedes. This type of part is a good choice for users looking for a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining original material quality and fitment.

In practice, this means the possibility of installation in place of a damaged component while maintaining the correct body line, while simultaneously reducing costs compared to purchasing a new panel.

Benefits of using an original front fender

• Factory fitment for the Mercedes W204 structure in the front right body section.
• Indigolite Blue Metallic – 230 color, promoting the vehicle’s visual consistency.
• Repair cost savings through the use of a used component with original geometry.
• Possibility of professional reconstruction of the wheel arch zone without interfering with the load-bearing structure.

Application in bodywork and restoration repairs

This fender will work well both for standard post-accident repairs and for body restoration, where maintaining the original stampings and lines characteristic of the Mercedes W204 is key. Thanks to its compliance with the factory design, the component facilitates the work of the body technician and painter, shortening the time for adjustment and alignment.
