Technical characteristics and intended use

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the Mercedes B-Class W245 body, taking into account factory mounting points and the geometry of the vehicle's rear section. Its placement in the rear zone of the body ensures proper alignment of the body lines, and the construction, consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, facilitates installation without the need for modifications.

The Horizon Blue Metallic - 391 color is a metallic shade of blue, characteristic of many Mercedes W245 equipment configurations. Thanks to this, the component can significantly reduce the scope of paint work, especially in the case of local repairs or bumper replacement after a collision.

Benefits of using an original rear bumper

Choosing an original bumper from the Bumpers and reinforcements group for a Mercedes translates into precise fitment with other body panels and proper cooperation with mounting elements and accessories. The factory geometry of the rear part of the vehicle is maintained, which is important both for aesthetics and for the correct distribution of forces in the event of minor impacts.

A used component of this type is a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original build quality. In many cases, it allows the vehicle to be restored to full functionality and aesthetics without the need to invest in a new component.

Horizon Blue Metallic - 391 color scheme

The metallic paint in the Horizon Blue shade is a popular choice for Mercedes W245 models due to its subdued yet modern character. A bumper in this color blends well with chrome and black body details, which makes it easier to maintain a consistent look for the entire vehicle after repair.

For body and paint shops, using a component already painted in the correct shade means the possibility of shortening service turnaround time and limiting the scope of preparatory work. In many cases, minor paint corrections are sufficient to achieve a satisfactory final result.

Application in the body repair process

The rear bumper for the Mercedes W245 in Horizon Blue Metallic - 391 will work well both for post-accident repairs and for replacing a worn-out component. Thanks to a design consistent with factory solutions, it is possible to use existing mounting points and accessories intended for this model.
