Wing Trims and Side Vents

Fender trims at DD Tuning come in four types: carbon trims made from genuine carbon fiber (DDCarbon) for the front or rear fenders of sports cars; vehicle-specific "gills"—vent-style trims for Range Rover, Land Rover, BMW X3–X6, Tesla, and Toyota Prado 250; stainless-steel trims for Renault Clio V and Megane IV; and universal vent-look trims by HongHang and DPT. Vehicle-specific kits install in factory locations; stainless steel and HongHang mount with self-adhesive tape; DPT mounts with glass adhesive/sealant.

What fender trims are available and for which vehicles

Carbon or plastic: what’s the difference between fender trims

Genuine carbon fiber is used in DDCarbon trims and in Defender carbon gills—these are custom-made for a specific model. Gloss-black ABS plastic only resembles carbon; color and shine don’t define the material, so refer to the “Material” line. M-style gills for BMW are supplied ready for painting to match the body color. For Clio V there are two stainless-steel options: Carmos and OmsaLine—Italian stainless steel from a Turkish manufacturer with a more precise fit.

How to choose vehicle-specific or universal trims

• Vehicle-specific trims match factory mounting points, so always compare the body type and model years with the product title. Range Rover Sport gills for 2010–2013 and 2018–2022 are different parts: facelift versions do not fit pre-facelift 2013–2017.
• For Range Rover L322, gills are designed for 2005–2013 and come in several styles (Autobiography V1, V2, V5, as well as V3, V4)—gray or black. For L405 there are SVO (black) and SVA: gray, black, or black with chrome.
• HongHang universal trims are not tied to a specific model: you choose the location on the fender. Measure the area first—the dimensions of each type are listed on the product page, from 20 to 43.5 cm in length.
• DPT is “limited universal”: compare the dimensions from the product page with your fender.
• The OEM gill for Nissan Patrol Y62 and Armada is sold individually—two are needed for both sides.

How fender trims are mounted

The installation method is listed in the specifications under “Installation type.” Vehicle-specific GBT gills, Tesla and Prado 250 trims, and the Nissan gill install in factory locations. Stainless-steel trims stick on with the included tape; HongHang universal trims use self-adhesive backing. DPT requires glass adhesive/sealant, which is not included. Before bonding, degrease the surface and test-fit the trim dry.

What else to check for the body

Other carbon-fiber parts are in Carbon trims; wheel-arch extensions are in Arch extensions and trims; hood tuning is in Hood trims. If you need an actual fender as a body panel, not a decorative trim, see Fenders. The rest of body tuning is in Body kits.
