Purpose and body fitment

The presented fender is designed as a component mounted in the front right part of the body, in the wheel arch area. Its geometry is consistent with the body lines of the Mercedes W169 model, ensuring proper fitment with the hood, bumper, headlight, and front door. As a result, the continuity of body lines and panel gaps is maintained after installation, and the body regains its original rigidity in the critical front corner area.

Color Polar Silver Metallic - 761

The fender is factory-finished in the Polar Silver Metallic - 761 shade, characteristic of many Mercedes W169 units. The metallic paint coating ensures visual consistency with other body panels in the same color code, which in many cases allows for limiting paint work to just potential shade matching. This is a practical solution for repairs where both aesthetics and cost control are important.

Technical characteristics and installation

The fender belongs to the Front fenders group, which are components responsible for shielding the wheel, directing airflow around the wheel arch, and protecting the engine bay and sills from water, mud, and minor mechanical damage. The design includes factory mounting points to the body structure, allowing for installation in place of the original part without the need for modifications. Mounting holes and edges are prepared for standard brackets, supports, and connections with adjacent panels.

The used condition of the component makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining original geometry and compatibility with factory body parts. Proper alignment of the fender is important not only for visual reasons but also for functionality – it affects proper airflow, door operation, and the tightness of connections with wheel arch liners.

Application in Mercedes repairs and restoration

This front right fender in Polar Silver Metallic - 761 is particularly suitable for situations where the body corner has been damaged, the wheel arch deformed, or corrosion has occurred on the factory part. Replacing it with an original component allows for restoring the proper body line while maintaining the characteristic look of the Mercedes W169. It is a practical choice for both body shops and individual users who want to carry out repairs as close to the factory standard as possible.
