Will a front right fender fit on a 2009 model when it’s form a different year?

TimoTS · Oct 13, 2020

My front right fender has some dents and a little damage on it, I want to replace it but i can only find fenders from 2002-2006, these are Java black so I still need to get them resprayed but will these fit on a 2009 model?

I believe so, it only differs on 2010> models due to the slimmer headlights and thus taller bumpers.

Hopefully somebody here will have a more concrete answer.

My2005 had the front of the fender trimmed to make the 2006 lights fit.

Stop it! Stop it now! Take your meds, and go sit in a corner. Only come back out when you stop being easily led, and, remember the correct meaning of words.

Fender: a low surround thing that goes around a fireplace, to protect from embers.
Bumper : a horizontal bar fitted across the front, or back, of a vehicle, to help reduce damage in a collision.

Naughty BiB

Oh and for the usual culprits, whilst we are on using the correct word:
Curb means to control or limit something
Kerb is a stone edging to a pavement, or raised path.

I would have said front wing but I thought it better to translate it in view of the OP's location

Hang on that's not right either, a wing is something on a bird or plane

help I'm so confused

So we dumb down to Americanisms? How can he learn, if we do not help him

Wing is like many Brit Eng words, it has many meanings, one of which is a part of a car. So no need for confusion.
So are you ready to stop being dragged down by Americanisms , and come back to our lovely, English speaking, group. We have new chairs, without wings. Although sometimes we do have a glut of popcorn

Sometimes it's just easier to dumb down a response to their level rather than re-educate them

I learn't that lesson trying to educate some of my staff and gave up after 5 years

A Fender can also be a guitar or amp !!

I refuse to ever dumb down to them.
I used to just give a puzzled look at them, until they found the correct word. I would then feign surprise and say ''what was it you called it?, Nope only ever known it as 'insert correct Brit Eng word here'."Got them every time.

That's how we get treated here in France sometimes.... Not so nice actually

In my day it was called a mudguard.
At least the OP uses the correct trans-atlantic description for a wing/mudguard etc. Many Brits think the term refers to a bumper
