Purpose and Body Fitment

The presented rear bumper has been specifically designed for the C117 body type with the AMG package, taking into account the characteristic geometry of the vehicle's rear. Its placement on the vehicle, designated as the rear, ensures that the part works with factory mounting points and aligns with the trunk lid and fender lines.

Thanks to its construction compliant with factory Mercedes standards, the bumper ensures:

• correct edge alignment with the rear lights,
• proper fitment with lower covers and reinforcement elements,
• preservation of the characteristic, dynamic AMG line.

Cosmos Black Metallic - 191 Paint Finish

The Cosmos Black Metallic - 191 color is a dark, metallic shade of black, often used on Mercedes models with a sportier character. A bumper in this color allows for an aesthetic match to the body without the need to change the vehicle's color, if the car is already painted in the same paint code.

The metallic finish provides:

• visual consistency with other body elements,
• an attractive light effect on the AMG bumper's contours,
• a modern, dynamic look characteristic of sporty Mercedes versions.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and Reinforcements category and is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for users looking for original parts at a reasonable price. A used body component allows for the preservation of factory geometry and material, while limiting the costs of repairing or reconstructing the rear of the vehicle.

Choosing an original, used AMG rear bumper is a good solution when you want to:

• maintain the factory styling line of the Mercedes C117,
• ensure compatibility with existing reinforcements and mountings,
• reduce the time required for fitting the part during installation.

Application in Accident Repairs and Upgrades

This AMG rear bumper model is suitable for both standard accident repairs and for upgrading a body from a non-sport package version to a more dynamic variant. By preserving its original form, the part facilitates the restoration of the correct geometry of the vehicle's rear and proper panel gap alignment.

In practice, this means:

• easier alignment of the bumper with the trunk lid and fenders,
• the possibility of using factory mounting points,
• a cohesive visual effect after bodywork and painting are completed.
