1.Momentous Weight Cutdown(vs. Stock - Metal or Heavy Plastic):
This is the primary performance advantage. Carbon fiber is incredibly strong yet lightweight. iMP Performance 2015-2021 Mercedes Benz GT/GTS/GTC C190 Coupe & R190 Roadster Ver.2 Partial Carbon Fiber Front Fender can replace a heavy steel or thick plastic stock fender,which dramatically reduces unsprung weight (weight not supported by the suspension).
Benefits: Improves handling (quicker suspension response, better turn-in), acceleration (less mass to move), braking (less momentum), and can slightly improve fuel efficiency. The reduction is generally less than full carbon but still significant.
2.Enhanced Aesthetics (Sporty/Race Look):
The exposed carbon fiber weave of Mercedes Benz front fender offers a high-performance, motorsport-inspired appearance.
They modernize the look of the car and signal attention to performance modifications.
Provide a more upscale and distinctive look than plain painted fenders.
3.Increased Structural Rigidity (vs. Stock Plastic):
High-quality partial carbon fiber front fender is extremely stiff. Even a partial carbon fender is typically much more rigid than a stock thermoplastic (e.g., PP) fender, especially those prone to flexing.
Benefits: Helps maintain stable aerodynamics at speed, contributes slightly to overall chassis rigidity, and reduces panel flex/vibration.
4.Corrosion Resistance:
Unlike steel, carbon fiber composite of R190 Roadster front fender is completely immune to rust and corrosion. This is a benefit over stock metal fenders, especially in harsh climates or areas that salt roads.
5.Cost Savings vs. Full Carbon:
This is a major advantage compared to full carbon fenders. By using carbon fiber only for the visible outer skin ("show surface") and bonding it to a lightweight backing (like high-strength plastic or composite) in the inner structures and attachment points, manufacturers significantly reduce material costs and complex manufacturing steps.
Achieves much of the visual impact and a good portion of the weight saving at a more accessible price point.
6.Simplified Fitment (Potentially):
R190 Roadster partial carbon front fender often utilize the stock mounting points, brackets, and inner structure designs. This can make installation significantly easier than complex full carbon replacements that might require custom mounting solutions.
Better compatibility with stock liners, lights, and other front-end components.
