Purpose and Fitment

The presented left rear door is dedicated to the Mercedes W205 body and has been designed as a structural component compatible with factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear section, on the driver's side, allows for precise restoration of the body geometry after a collision or during professional refurbishment.

Thanks to the use of original production technology, the correct crease lines, mounting edges, and the characteristic side profile of this model are preserved. This facilitates the alignment of gaps between the door and the fender and pillar, which is important for both aesthetics and proper closing.

Color and Paint Layer

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, a popular metallic black used in many Mercedes W205 equipment configurations. The metallic paint finish provides a characteristic depth of color and good matching with the vehicle's factory paint, limiting the scope of potential paintwork.

A uniform paint layer in Obsidian Black Metallic allows for:

• easier color matching during spot repairs,
• maintaining a consistent appearance of the entire vehicle side,
• preserving the visual character typical of the premium versions of this Mercedes generation.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

This part belongs to the Doors and Door Panels group, meaning it serves both a structural and protective function in the vehicle's side area. Its placement on the vehicle as the left rear door ensures compatibility with the factory hinges, lock, and seals intended for this model.

The door has a specific weight, which is important when selecting appropriate hinges and setting the geometry during installation. Proper balancing affects the comfort of opening and closing, as well as the durability of the mounting components.

Condition and Application in Repairs

As a used part, the left rear door for the Mercedes W205 is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, where maintaining the original body structure is crucial. Using salvaged parts allows for adherence to factory structural specifications and cost reduction compared to new components.

The door is particularly suitable for situations where the entire side panel needs replacement, and repairing the existing panel is uneconomical or technically difficult. The original construction facilitates the work of the bodyworker and painter, reducing fitting time.
