Purpose and fitment

The presented fender has been designed as a component for the front right part of the body, ensuring it maintains the correct geometry of edges, creases, and mounting points. The original construction ensures:

• proper connection with the headlight, bumper, and hood,
• stable mounting to the vehicle's structural frame,
• compatibility with factory gaps and body lines. As a result, the fender is suitable both for the local replacement of a damaged part and for more extensive bodywork involving the entire right front side of the vehicle.

Color and paint finish

The component is factory-painted in the Polar Silver Metallic shade, which facilitates matching it to the existing paintwork of a vehicle in the same color. The metallic paint structure provides a visually consistent effect with the remaining body panels, and the use of the original shade limits the scope of any necessary paintwork to minor corrections and blending, rather than requiring a full repaint of the entire component.

Characteristics of the used component

As an aftermarket part, the fender retains its factory geometry and mounting points, which is crucial for the precise alignment of the vehicle's front. A used body component is a cost-effective yet technically sound solution, especially for repairs where maintaining the original construction and compatibility with other panels is key.

Use in body repairs

Replacing the front right fender is a typical stage of repairs following side and corner collisions. Using an original component allows you to:

• minimize the time required for fitting and gap adjustment,
• maintain the proper alignment of the wheel arch edge relative to the wheel and bumper,
• preserve a consistent look of the vehicle's front after the repair is completed. This solution is particularly useful in professional body and paint shops, as well as for DIY repairs where reliable fitment and predictable assembly are essential.

Ecological and economic aspect

Choosing a used, original fender is not only a saving compared to new aftermarket replacements but also a real reduction in waste and energy required for the production of new parts.
