Intended Use and Body Fitment

The presented front right door is specifically designed for the W176 series body, ensuring correct geometry, crease lines, and compatibility with factory mounting points. Its placement in the front passenger area allows for direct integration with factory hinges, locks, and seals, without the need for modifications to the pillar or sills.

The appropriately selected design supports proper alignment with the fender, hood, and sill, which is important for both aesthetics and the interior's sealing and acoustics. This allows the part to be used for both accident repairs and body side reconstruction.

Characteristics of South Seas Blue Metallic - 162 Paint

The color South Seas Blue Metallic - 162 is a metallic blue shade, factory-applied to Mercedes compact class models. The metallic structure of the coating promotes even distribution of light reflections, enhancing visual consistency with other body panels in the same color. In practice, this facilitates paint matching for local touch-ups or repainting adjacent elements.

Doors in this shade are a particularly advantageous choice for repairs where maintaining the vehicle's original color configuration is important. The metallic coating works well with factory clear coats, allowing for a uniform gloss after any potential paintwork.

Assembly and Usage Aspects

This part belongs to the Doors and Door Panels group, meaning it is designed for a demanding area of the body, exposed to operational loads, temperature changes, and atmospheric factors. The door's construction is prepared for compatibility with factory window mechanisms, locks, and seals, making it easier to transfer existing equipment from a damaged part.

The product is offered as used, which means it may require standard preparation steps before installation, such as surface inspection, potential paintwork, or hardware adjustment. By maintaining the original body geometry, it is possible to achieve correct panel gaps and proper operation of the lock and hinges.

Benefits of Using Original Mercedes W176 Doors

Using original front right doors for the W176 model allows for the preservation of factory side stiffness parameters and compatibility with body safety systems. This is particularly important for collision repairs where precise reconstruction of the vehicle's side structure is crucial. The original door panel also facilitates service work as it is compliant with the manufacturer's technical documentation.
