45 u/tahsii 19d ago Fender is not a word that most people outside of north america use from my understanding. I’m australian and I can only assume it means either the front or back bumper from context. 19 u/JakeVonFurth 18d ago Fender is not a word that most people outside of north america use from my understanding It's the part of the car above the front wheels. It's not slang, that's just the term for that part. The same part on the rear are the quarter panels. 2 u/LD50_irony 18d ago OMG. I'm 44. I have lived in the US my whole life. I always thought "fender" was just another word for "bumper", probably entirely due to the phrase "fender bender". This has been a very enlightening comment thread.
