From a technical standpoint, the fender of your car connects the hood, the front part of the vehicle, and the doors. The fender protects the car from leaves, dust, small stones, and, of course, mud. Damage to the fender usually results from wear and minor collisions.

This guide shows you how to replace it without needing to consult a professional. To access the fender, you need to remove the bumper using a jack to lift the car. Remove the bumper by unscrewing all the bolts that securely attach it to the frame to avoid losing it on the road.

Once this is done, you can take out the old bumper. Then, use a wrench to remove the bolts that hold the fender in place.
