The front wings – also called the front fender or front mudguard – is the panel over the front wheel that keeps water, mud and grit off you and the scooter. It is one of the most frequently replaced plastic parts after a knock. This guide helps you choose the right one.
1. Match the exact model and generation
Front wings are moulded to the wheel, fork and body shape of each generation. A Honda Activa 3G wing will not fit an Activa 5G or 6G, and a TVS Ntorq wing is a different shape again. Always match the exact model and generation.
2. Match the factory colour
Front wings come in specific factory shades – grey, mat grey, blue, black, brown, silver, red and white. A mismatched shade is very visible, so match the exact colour. A new wing will look brighter than faded bodywork.
3. Material and finish
Replacement wings are usually moulded ABS or fibre, supplied painted or in a moulded colour. Check whether the finish is matte or gloss to match the rest of the bodywork.
4. Mounting points and fit
The wing mounts to the fork and body with bolts, clips and locating tabs. Confirm the replacement has the same mounting points. A wing that rubs the tyre should be refitted or replaced immediately, as it can wear through and damage the tyre.
5. When to replace
Cracks from a knock, a wing that rattles at speed, missing mounting tabs, and a wing that rubs the tyre are the usual reasons to replace. If only the finish is scuffed, repainting may be enough.
6. Fitting tips
Clean the mounting area, start bolts and clips by hand, and check the wing clears the tyre through the full suspension travel before tightening fully. Fit new grommets if the old ones are brittle to stop rattles.
Bottom line
Match the exact model and generation, the factory colour and the mounting points. That gives you a front wing that looks right and stays secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which front wing fits my scooter?

Yes. autoss.in front wings are supplied in specific factory shades such as grey, mat grey, blue, black and white. Match the exact shade for your model.

They are supplied ready to mount but usually as the wing only. Reuse your original bolts and clips, or fit new grommets if the old ones are brittle.
Why does my front wing rattle or rub the tyre?
Usually worn clips or grommets, or a slightly bent mounting. Refit the wing with new grommets and check it clears the tyre through the full suspension travel.
