I've spent about half an hour yesterday looking for this on Bricklink and failed miserably. Thanks!

Very nice - The crop was from a vehicle I found on the net - strangely enough I have many more that do not show up as mudguards - some of them are part of a "chassis" as well... I guess I will need to photograph them all :)

<p>i'm calling those things "fenders" (don't know the "official" name, too). </p>

<p>I have a bunch of second hand bricks and some are "wheel wells" for the lack of better words.</p>

<p>I would like to find out how I use them for example at bricklink, but then I need to find the name for such a thing first</p>

I have a bunch of second hand bricks and some are "wheel wells" for the lack of better words.

I would like to find out how I use them for example at bricklink, but then I need to find the name for such a thing first
