Color and paint finish

The fender is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, a color characteristic of many Mercedes W211 equipment configurations. The metallic paint coating ensures an aesthetic appearance and facilitates matching with existing body panels in the same shade. In practice, this means less paint work is required when replacing a damaged fender, especially if the remaining body panels are maintained in the same color.

• maintaining factory gaps between adjacent body panels,
• stable mounting at factory structural points.

Additionally, the fender supports the protection of the engine bay and wheel arch area from external factors, which is important for both the durability of mechanical components and the aesthetics of the vehicle.
