What is the name of the protective plate above the car tire?

[DakotaFitz]

The protective plate above the car tire is called a mudguard, which primarily serves to block mud and dust. It is usually installed behind the four tires of the car. The mudguards for the front two tires are located on the left and right lower sills, while the rear mudguards are positioned on the rear bumper. Installation method for mudguards: 1. Prepare mudguards corresponding to the car model, pliers, a screwdriver, matching screws, and nuts. 2. Remove the screws from the corresponding parts of the original car body when installing the mudguards. 3. Place the mudguards in the corresponding positions on the vehicle, ensuring that the outer edge of the mudguard is parallel to the outer edge of the tire. 4. Some car models require self-drilling holes; the screw hole positions must be drilled accurately to avoid affecting the installation effect. 5. Use the included special screws to tighten and secure them. Mudguards can effectively protect the car body, reduce mud and water splashes during rainy days, and minimize damage to the car paint caused by gravel being flung out due to the wheels rolling over them.
