German term or phrase: Vollverkleidung
from a parts list of tipper trucks:

seitliche Schutzvorrichtung als Vollverkleidung

The side safety guards (near the mud flaps) act as some sort of full/integral covering. Wyhlidahl gives "full fairing" but this refers only to motorcycles and not trucks. (but would 'full fairing' be applicable as well in my context of mud guards for tipper trucks?)

Explanation:
This is another word for panels or covers. I recall hearing and using it in reference to military vehicles.
