Purpose and Fitment

The rear bumper has been specifically designed for the Mercedes SLK R170 model, taking into account the characteristic geometry of this roadster's body. Its placement on the vehicle is the rear part of the body, allowing for the recreation of the factory bumper line without the need for structural modifications.

Original mounting points and edge profiles enable correct alignment with the fenders, trunk lid, and other rear vehicle components. This makes the bumper a suitable base for both accident repairs and restoring the car to a factory-like condition.

Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 Color and Finish

The part is finished in the Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 color, characteristic of selected Mercedes SLK R170 models. The metallic paint finish provides an aesthetically pleasing visual appearance and facilitates matching with the existing body paint.

In practice, this means the scope of painting work can be limited – in many cases, local matching and polishing will suffice, rather than a full repaint of the entire part. This is a beneficial solution for repairs where both time and cost control are important.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The bumper is sourced from the aftermarket, allowing for an economical restoration of the original rear bodywork on the Mercedes SLK R170. A used body part is a good solution when preserving the factory construction and compatibility with other components is a priority.

For bumpers in the Bumpers and Reinforcements category, it is particularly important that the construction complies with the manufacturer's original specifications – this applies to both the shape and the placement of mounting points. This type of part facilitates workshop work and reduces the risk of installation problems.

Application in Repairs and Restorations

The rear bumper in Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 color is suitable for several typical service scenarios:

• accident repairs of the rear bodywork,
• restorations of collectible SLK R170 models,
• restoring the car to its original specification after previous modifications,
• replacing missing body parts after disassembly.

By maintaining the bumper's factory character, it is possible to preserve the vehicle's consistent styling line, which is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
