wheelarch
Wheel well cover
A wheelarch is the curved opening in a vehicle's body panel that accommodates the wheel and allows it to turn and move with the suspension.
Also called a wheel well or fender arch.
Wheelarches collect road grime and are prone to rust on older cars: The rear wheelarches had rusted through.
