Wing Nissan Navara - this is not just a body element, but a key detail that affects the safety, aerodynamics and appearance of the pickup truck. Wing damage is one of the most common problems among owners. NP300, especially after off-road or urban accidents. But how to choose the right replacement without overpaying for the original? And is it possible to do without a service station if you have a garage and a minimal set of tools?
In this article we will look at all the nuances: from the differences between left and right wing to the subtleties of painting and anti-corrosion treatment. You will find out what aluminum fenders from Mercedes-Benz X-Class suitable for Navara without modifications, how to avoid mistakes when welding and why cheap Chinese analogues can turn into rust within a year. And also - step-by-step instructions with photos, a price comparison table and answers to frequently asked questions from body repair specialists.
Original wing vs analogues: what to choose for Nissan Navara?
The first question that arises when a wing is damaged: to buy original part from Nissan or save on analogue? Original wings for Navara NP300 (article 62100-4M000 for the right one, 62100-4M001 for the left) guarantee a perfect fit and resistance to corrosion, but their price is steep - from 25,000 to 40,000 rubles per piece. At the same time, high-quality analogues (for example, from Febi or Meyle) will cost 2–3 times less.
Main criteria when choosing:
- 🔹 Material: the original is zinc-coated steel, cheap analogues are often made of “ferrous” metal, which rusts in 1-2 winters.
- 🔹 Metal thickness: for the original - 0.8–1 mm, for Chinese copies it can be 0.6 mm (bends with a light impact).
- 🔹 Equipment: the original set includes mounting bolts and seals; analogues often have to purchase them separately.
- 🔹 Compatibility: some wings for Navara D40 (previous generation) are not suitable for NP300 due to the changed geometry of the arches.
They stand apart aluminum fenders from Mercedes-Benz X-Class (articles A6210000100 And A6210000200). They are 30% lighter and more resistant to corrosion, but their installation requires modification of the fasteners (the cost of work starts from 10,000 rubles). Plus the price of such a wing starts from 50,000 rubles, which is justified only for tuned versions.

Step-by-step wing replacement Nissan Navara: tools and sequence
If you decide to change the wing yourself, prepare:
- 🔧 Tools: grinder with cutting wheel, welding machine (semi-automatic), drill, set of heads and keys, straightening hammer, grinder.
- 🔧 Consumables: anti-corrosion mastic, primer, paint (color code for Navara —
KADorB92), seam sealant. - 🔧 Additionally: jack, wheel chocks, safety glasses and gloves.
The replacement process takes 6–8 hours (excluding painting) and includes the following steps:
Remove the bumper and front optics|Disconnect the battery|Fix the hood in the open position|Mark the mounting bolts to facilitate reassembly-->
1. Removing the old wing:
- Remove the plastic arch trim (mounts for a T20 screwdriver).
- Unscrew the bolts securing the wing to the pillar and sill (usually 4–6 pieces, head 10 or 12).
- Carefully cut off the welding points around the perimeter (there are about 20–25 of them). Don't damage the stand! Otherwise it will need to be strengthened.
2. Fitting a new wing:
- Try on the part, check the gaps with the hood and door (should be the same along the entire length, 3–5 mm).
- If necessary, trim the edges with a grinder or straighten with a hammer.
- Drill holes for the mounting bolts (if they are not included in the kit).
3. Welding and anticorrosive:
- Tack the wing at 3-4 points, then weld all the seams semi-automatically (wire 0.8 mm, gas Ar/CO2).
- Treat the inner surface with anti-corrosive agent (we recommend Dinitrol 4941 or Tectyl 506).
- Seal the seams (e.g. 3M 08597).
What happens if you don’t seal the seams with sealant?
Without sealing, moisture will get into the seams, which will lead to corrosion within 6–12 months. This is especially critical at the junction of the wing and the strut - rust there spreads to the load-bearing elements of the body.
4. Painting and assembly:
- Apply primer (2 layers), then paint (3 layers), drying between coats.
- Reinstall the optics, bumper and trim.
- Adjust the gaps of the doors and hood (tighten the hinges if necessary).
Before painting, warm the wing with a hair dryer to 40–50°C - this will improve paint adhesion and prevent it from peeling.
Top 5 mistakes when replacing a wing Nissan Navara (and how to avoid them)
Even experienced craftsmen sometimes make mistakes, which then cost a lot of money. Here are the most common:
⚠️ Attention: Never weld the wing to the strut. continuous seam - this violates the rigidity of the body and can lead to cracks under load. Use spot welding in increments of 2–3 cm.
1. Ignoring body geometry:
After replacing the wing, check wheel alignment - if the gaps between the hood and the fender are uneven, the strut may have moved. This leads to uneven tire wear.
2. Saving on anticorrosion:
Cheap mastics (for example, Movil) dry out in 1–2 years. For Navara, which often travels off-road, it is better to use paraffin compounds (For example, Noxudol 700).
3. Incorrect painting:
If you do not follow the technology (primer + base + varnish), the paint will begin to peel off within a year. This is especially critical for metallics - it requires three-layer coating.
4. Using a grinder for cutting:
The cutting wheel leaves a gap that is too wide, making welding difficult. Better to use pneumatic or electric shears.
5. Forget about drainage holes:
At the bottom of the wing there are technological holes for water drainage. If they are not drilled or sealed with sealant, moisture will begin to accumulate inside.
| Error | Consequences | How to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous weld | Cracks on the stand, warping of the metal | Spot welding in increments of 2–3 cm |
| Lack of anticorrosive | Rust after 1–2 years | Use paraffin wax |
| Incorrect fit | Uneven gaps, squeaks | Check geometry with a laser level |
| Saving on primer | Paint peeling, corrosion | Apply 2 layers of primer and dry |
How much does it cost to replace a fender? Nissan Navara in 2026?
The price depends on the type of part, region and service station level. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, work will cost 20–30% more than in the regions. Average prices:
- 💰 Original wing + replacement: 50,000–80,000 rubles (with painting).
- 💰 Analogue (Febi, Meyle) + replacement: 25,000–40,000 rubles.
- 💰 Used from disassembly + replacement: 15,000–25,000 rubles (risk of hidden damage!).
- 💰 Aluminum (Mercedes X-Class) + revision: 70,000–100,000 rubles.
Replacing it yourself will cost 5,000–10,000 rubles (paint, consumables, welding machine rental). However, without welding experience you risk getting:
- 🔥 Metal burns (if the current is set incorrectly).
- 🔥 Warping of the panel (due to overheating).
- 🔥 Uneven gaps (if the wing is installed crooked).
Saving on professional fender replacement can result in rust or problems with body geometry, which ultimately require expensive repairs.
Repair vs replacement: when can you do without a new wing?
Wing damage does not always require complete replacement. In what cases can it be repaired?
1. Shallow dents (up to 3 cm):
- Stretching out vacuum suction cup or straightening (if there are no metal creases).
- Repair cost: 3,000–8,000 rubles.
2. Scratches and chips:
- If the primer is not touched, it is enough polishing or local painting.
- If metal is exposed, it is necessary anti-corrosion treatment + painting (from 5,000 rubles).
3. Cracks (up to 10 cm):
- Can be brewed spot welding and putty.
- Important: if the crack is near the strut, it is better to replace the fender - this crumple zone upon impact.
4. Rust (surface):
- Deleted sandblasting, then primer and paint are applied.
- If rust has “eaten” the metal right through - just replace it!
⚠️ Attention: If the fender is bent in the area where the headlight or bumper is attached, it definitely needs to be changed — even after straightening, the geometry will be disrupted, which will lead to problems with optics (the light will “mow”) or gaps.
