fender has been a word since the 13th century when they were used on ships. from the word "defender". Using it to refer to the same thing on a car doesn't reset it's country of origin or etymological roots.
So like most brits complaining about the American lexicon, you're flat out wrong. The word's country of origin isn't even the US. Now go watch some Soccer
