Purpose and Fitment

Its placement on the front of the vehicle guarantees compatibility with the factory structural layout and adjacent elements such as headlights, hood, and wheel arches.

The part comes from the Bumpers and Reinforcements group, making it a functional solution both in terms of protecting the front of the vehicle and maintaining the correct body geometry after accident repair.

Color and Paint Finish

The bumper is finished in the Tropical Black Metallic - 160 shade, allowing for a consistent appearance with the vehicle's factory paint in this color. The metallic black gives the body a subtle, modern character and complements both light and dark styling accents.

For many users, it will be important that the applied color reduces the need for a full repaint when replacing the part, which can translate into savings in time and cost during the repair process, provided the vehicle's shade matches the paint code.

Parktronic Function and Technical Aspects

The bumper model is adapted for cooperation with the Parktronic system, meaning it is possible to install parking sensors in their designated locations. This allows you to retain the functionality of the factory parking assist system without the need for modifications or non-factory alterations to the body part.

This solution is particularly important for drivers who use parking assistants daily – a properly prepared bumper facilitates the correct operation of the sensors, leading to precise obstacle detection and comfortable maneuvering in tight spaces.

Product Characteristics and Condition

The offered bumper is a used part, representing a sensible compromise between quality and the cost of vehicle repair. Choosing an original component from the aftermarket allows for maintaining factory fit and construction while limiting expenses compared to a new part.

The product comes from the Mercedes brand offering, which for many users means maintaining consistency with other body elements and the assurance that the bumper's geometry and shape correspond to the solutions used by the vehicle manufacturer.
