Fenders

Fenders are protective components located on vehicles and boats that absorb impacts and prevent damage. On cars, they are the curved panels around wheels that shield the body from debris, rocks, and minor collisions. On boats, fenders are cushions tied around the hull to prevent damage when docking or mooring by absorbing contact with docks or other vessels. Both serve as buffers, safeguarding the main structure from external forces and helping maintain their appearance and integrity in everyday use or docking situations.
