Thought mudguard is appropriate word, sorry, i am not native english
speaker.


'fender; has a lot of meanings including a rope mat put between a boat
and a dock to avoid damage to the boat, the skirt-like thing on the front
of a railway locomotive and, mainly by Americans, the thin shaped sheet
metal or plastic part used to prevent a wheel from spraying water, mud or
gravel onto the rest of the vehicle. The rest of the english speaking
world calls the last item a mudguard, so call it whatever suits you best.
