Purpose and Body Fitment

The presented fender is designed as a front-mounted component for the left side of the vehicle. Thanks to its factory profile, it maintains the correct body geometry, which is important for both vehicle handling and proper alignment with the hood, bumper, and doors. The original design ensures compatibility with the mounting points specified by the manufacturer, facilitating the work of the body shop and minimizing the need for additional modifications.

Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 Color

The finish in the Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 shade allows for visual matching with the vehicle's factory paint if the car was produced in this specific color. The metallic coating gives the body an elegant character, and with proper preparation and polishing, it enables a seamless surface with adjacent body panels. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs and for replacing a damaged fender with an original part.

Characteristics of a Used Part

This fender comes from the aftermarket, meaning it is a used part. Such parts are often chosen for repairs where maintaining original quality is important while optimizing costs. A used body part can often avoid fitment issues typical of some aftermarket alternatives, while also offering a reasonable compromise between price and functionality.

Application in Repairs and Modifications

This left front fender is suitable for both standard post-accident repairs and comprehensive body rebuilds. It can be used in:

• collision repairs, where the original fender has been deformed or corroded,
• restoration projects, where maintaining the factory body character is a priority,
• visual upgrades, when the vehicle owner aims to restore a cohesive appearance to the bodywork.

By maintaining the original geometry, the part contributes to the correct alignment of panel gaps, which is important for both aesthetic and aerodynamic reasons.

Support for Selection and Additional Information

Detailed technical data, such as manufacturer codes, reference numbers, and information about vehicle placement, are available in the product description, which facilitates verification of compatibility with specific body versions. If in doubt, it is advisable to compare the parameters with the currently installed part or vehicle documentation to ensure proper part selection.
