Purpose and body fitment

The presented handle is designed for installation on the front left door of Mercedes A-Class W169 and B-Class W245 models. Its placement on the driver's side of the vehicle ensures full functionality in the most frequently used area of the body. The design is based on the manufacturer's factory specifications, which facilitates installation in place of the original component without the need for bodywork modifications.

Color and body aesthetics

The handle is finished in the Spring Source Blue Metallic shade, designated by paint code 958. This is a metallic, subtle color that allows for visual consistency with other body elements in the same shade. Thanks to the factory paint finish, you can minimize or completely avoid paint work if the rest of the body components are in good condition.

Technical and functional characteristics

The handle belongs to the Door handles category, meaning it is a component responsible for both opening the door and the proper operation of the lock mechanism. The appropriate mounting geometry and handle shape ensure:

• stable seating in the door panel,
• proper cooperation with the lock mechanism,
• ergonomic grip during daily use.

The product is marked as used, which in practice means it comes from disassembly and may show signs of wear typical for body components, while maintaining full structural functionality.

Benefits of using an original Mercedes handle

Using an original door handle in the factory color reduces the risk of fitment and alignment issues. The main advantages include:

• maintaining the factory body line and proper adhesion to the door panel,
• color consistency with the Spring Source Blue Metallic paint,
• easier installation thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions.

This is a practical choice when replacing a damaged handle after a collision, during corrosion repairs around the door, or when completing missing parts after disassembly.
