Despite the name "fender", Darrell doesn't mean "bumper bar", he means the panel the bumper bar is supposed to protect - which is also misleadingly named in UK english, the "guard". it's called a fornt apron over here in australia. > Two peoples seperated by a common language... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the panel the bumper bar is supposed to protect - which is also > misleadingly named in UK english, the "guard". > it's called a fornt apron over here in australia. The orginal enquiry was for what we call in Australia the mudguard. >> Two peoples seperated by a common language... >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> the panel the bumper bar is supposed to protect - which is also >> misleadingly named in UK english, the "guard". its seems to me that there is an inter-english translation problem here! I always thought that a fender was a bumper, as in a fender bender! Never heard of it associated with a mudguard before?

I should probably let this go on longer and see if it can get any more convoluted. It is interesting to see several peoples divided by a common language. A fender in the U.S. is the same as a wing in the U.K. I have no idea what the Aussie have decided to call them.

BMC part no. 14A6476 As I've already said, they are mudguards, BMC part numbers are 14A6476 and 14A6477. One for each side. it doesn't really matter mate, but what i think is a mud guard is the bit of rubber up in the wheel arch. but if you want to call the front apron a mud guard go right ahead. > > I should probably let this go on longer and see if it can get any more > > convoluted.

Who said I was calling a front apron a "mud guard". I'm talking about the parts either side of the bonnet that cover the front wheels, and were the headlights are mounted. That is the way they are described in Oz spare parts manuals. > its seems to me that there is an inter-english translation problem here! > I always thought that a fender was a bumper, as in a fender bender! > Never heard of it associated with a mudguard before? For years I thought the american term "fender" meant a bumper bar too, it would make more sense, since it's there to fend off damage, but I can assure you that Americans are talking about guards, wings, the panel which includes the front wheel arch. > > its seems to me that there is an inter-english translation problem here! > > I always thought that a fender was a bumper, as in a fender bender!

I think the term fender referring to wings may reflect the way cars are driven in the US!!! ;-) SignatureRgds Steve steve@dsnclassics.co.uk www.dsnclassics.co.uk >>>>Anyone have a good set of front fenders for a Mk1 mini? >>>>I would love to buy them from you!

Aaron is of course right and wrong. "It", the front fender, the guard, the wing, is not an apron. On the other hand, my description wasn't very good. I was too busy trying to be funny and mislead Aaron. The front apron is of course the panel across the front of the car below the grill and behind the front bumperbar. It's another panel the front bumper bar protects. In fact I freely admit in retrospect that "the panel the bumper bar is supposed to protect" really is a much better description of the front apron than of the two front guards (wings, fenders). Three peoples seperated by a common language... I am restoring a mini and need the following, I need some fenders, a hood and a trunk, and thats not an elephant with wings wearing a hat! Then again, i suppose needing wings could lead to a ladies domestic requirements, a bonnet maybe something that is needed for easter and a boot, usually a left or a right one with a steel toe protector? A bumper can be a car run by an electric current at the fair ground, and a wind sheild could be something that you hammer into the sand at the beach? My car has a gear knob, but maybe a stick shift would be better? Some cars have power brakes, mine has a servo. I like my car with a gearbox, i dont want a transmission! Most cars have rear lights, there are some with tail lights...... And to top it off, all my cars have number plates, none of them have a licience plate! > Buy them from any Mini parts vendor bran new with overiders and handlebars > for $150!
