Purpose and fitment for BMW

The presented fender has been designed specifically for the BMW F01 series as a component mounted on the front left side of the body. The OEM construction allows for maintaining factory gaps between body panels, correct edge alignment with the bumper, hood, and doors, as well as compatibility with original mounting points.

As a result, the fender is suitable for both post-collision repairs and the replacement of worn or corroded parts, minimizing the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Color and paint finish

The component is factory-painted in the Mineral White Metallic - A96 shade, characteristic of many high-end BMW configurations. The metallic white provides an elegant, modern look to the body and works well with other panels painted in the same color code.

In practice, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of paint work – in many cases, fitting and polishing are sufficient, which shortens repair time and reduces costs compared to a raw, unpainted panel.

Characteristics of the used component

The fender comes from dismantling, which allows for preserving the original geometry and sheet metal thickness intended by the BMW manufacturer. A used body component is a good choice for economical repairs when the priority is combining OEM quality with a reasonable budget.

Original stampings, embossments, and mounting edges facilitate the body technician's work and ensure correct alignment with the headlight, bumper, and hood, without the need for time-consuming adjustments required by aftermarket replacements.

Benefits of using an original BMW fender

• Factory body panel geometry, promoting precise installation.
• Original paint in Mineral White Metallic - A96, facilitating visual matching.
• Compatibility with standard mounting points and adjacent components.
• Cost-effective solution compared to new panels while maintaining OEM quality.
