Question What is missing in these front wheel well pictures?

Hi Everyone,

I need a few pictures of the front wheel well on the passenger side.
Or, maybe someone would have a schematic of this area? (Engine: 273.968, Transmission: 722.961)

I have to know what exactly got ripped out in this area in order to fix or replace it.

I tried to find and watch YouTube video clips of different repairs (e.g. brake job, etc.) just to SEE what is missing there. I played them back, rewound them, watched them again, etc.

Any help in finding literally the "missing pieces in this puzzle" would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Pitek

P.S. I let my wife take my "baby" out for shopping because hers ran out of gas...

There aren't enough photos here to make an accurate determination. But it looks like the front part of the wheel well cover.

Yes I agree. I had to replace mine as well on my right front. There easy to replace, cheap one piece plastic after market is what I got online. Its been on for 3 years and doing fine. The plastic one piece part covers the entire wheel well. You might need the plastic part in front of the wheel well as well to cover the strut compressor since I do not think the well goes that far up to the front of the car. Just don't remember part numbers or were I got them from.

Hi guys,

I attached for more photos as you suggested.
Should I have something between the damaged front wheel well and the edge of the front bumper? Is it one big piece (the wheel well) OR there is a missing triangle shaped piece?




Bottom up shot.

This nearest bolt hole hints that there was some sort of a cover.

Please let me know.

Thank you,
Pitek

Just a follow-up.
I visited my local MB stealership today.
I saw the dealer's printout of the two-part wheel well. Now, I know exactly what is missing and what I need to fix it. I need the front part of the front wheel well on the passenger side. It also covers the front "triangle shaped" area (under the struts compressor). The part costs 85 CAD plus 13% tax (not in stock at the moment) in Ontario, Canada.
However, I need the exact part number. May I please, bother konigstiger for it, again? Or, anybody else?

Thank you.

Yes, this is exactly the dealer's printout shown to me yesterday.
This is it!
Thank you so much for all of your help, again!
