A fender flare is an exterior accessory mounted on the wheel arch of a vehicle, designed to extend the coverage of the fender. Its main functions are to protect the body from mud, rocks, and road debris thrown up by the tires, and to provide additional clearance for wider or larger tires. Fender flares also serve an aesthetic purpose, giving the vehicle a more rugged or customized appearance.

• Cracks or visible damage from impacts with debris or road obstacles.
• Loose or missing mounting hardware, causing rattling or detachment while driving.
• Faded or discolored appearance, often due to prolonged sun and weather exposure.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
