The Vehicle Front Fender is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the Vehicle Front Fender is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface and is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the Vehicle Front Fender is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Some views illustrate both Class A and Class B surfaces. Any functional features of the Vehicle Front Fender are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design.
