It is generally recommended to repair a damaged front fender first, as the cost of replacement is relatively high, and most importantly, vehicle depreciation will occur once replaced. Below is more relevant information: Function of the fender: The fender, also known as the wing panel, is located on the outer body of the wheel. Its function, based on fluid dynamics, is to reduce the drag coefficient, making the vehicle more stable while driving. Based on the installation position, it is divided into front fender and rear fender. The front fender is installed above the front wheel. Since the front wheel has a steering function, it must ensure the maximum limit space when the front wheel turns. Therefore, designers will use the "wheel jump diagram" to verify the design size of the fender according to the selected tire model size. The rear fender does not have the problem of wheel rotation collision, but for aerodynamic considerations, the rear fender is slightly arched and convex outward. Explanation of the fender: The fender, also known as the wing panel, refers to a covering part on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles.

Where should the vehicle inspection sticker be placed?

Vehicle annual inspection stickers should be placed on the upper right corner of the windshield. Below are several methods for attaching the vehicle inspection sticker: 1. Direct application: Peel off the sticker and attach it directly to the upper right corner of the windshield. However, this method is not recommended as it can be very difficult to remove later. Even with great effort, residue may remain, especially if the windshield has a heat-insulating film, which could be damaged during removal, making it not worth the effort. 2. Static cling method: Many insurance companies provide static clings when you purchase insurance, typically offering three at a time. Peel off the inspection sticker and attach it to the static cling, then place the static cling on the upper right corner of the windshield. This method allows for easy removal without leaving any marks or affecting other elements. Be careful not to apply it upside down. 3. Lamination method: Take the annual inspection sticker to a copy shop to have it laminated. Then, apply a bit of transparent tape to each corner of the laminated sticker before attaching it to the windshield. This method also allows for easy removal, maintains aesthetics, and leaves no residue.
