The invention relates to the front portion of a motor vehicle comprising two fenders attached to the vehicle body and a hood that is pivotally mounted at the rear to two hinges (8), the fixed plates (9) of which are attached to the body. The upper rear portion (2) of each fender includes an edge that is adjacent to the bottom edge of the strut for the windshield opening and an edge that is adjacent (6) to the edge of the hood. The motor vehicle front portion is characterized in that the upper rear portion (2) of each fender includes first connection means (13) near the edge (6) thereof that is adjacent to the edge of the hood, said first connection means being connected to a portion (9b) that is rigidly connected to the fixed plate (9) of the hood hinge adjacent to said fender. The first connection means are arranged so as to position the fender along the vertical axis Z of the vehicle, such that the surface of said fender is flush with the surface of the hood.
