What is the plastic in front of the car's front wheels called?

[Gale]

The plastic in front of the front wheels is called a mudguard. The mudguard is a plate-like structure installed behind the outer frame of the wheel, usually made of high-quality rubber or engineering plastic. Its function is to prevent flying stones and gravel from damaging the car's paint. Here is some related information: 1. A metal, leather, plastic, or rubber mudguard is installed behind the hub of a bicycle or car. After installation, the mudguard protrudes about 5cm from the car body, effectively preventing flying stones and gravel from damaging the car's paint. 2. As the name suggests, the car mudguard is used to block mud. It is installed behind the four tires of the car, with the front two fixed on the left and right lower sills and the rear two fixed on the rear bumper. The mudguard protrudes about 5cm from the car body, effectively preventing flying stones and gravel from damaging the car's paint and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the car body.
