Purpose and fitment

The presented rear right door is designed specifically for the Mercedes W251 body, taking into account the factory geometry, character lines, and the distinctive construction of the vehicle's side section. The placement on the vehicle in the rear right body zone ensures proper fitment with the fender, rocker panel, and pillar, which translates into correct closing and stable seating on the hinges.

The original origin from the Mercedes brand means maintaining compatibility with factory mounting points, guides, and perimeter seals, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Paint finish and color

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, which belongs to the popular, elegant shades of metallic black used in higher-class Mercedes models. The metallic structure of the paint coating provides attractive color depth and good matching to bodies painted in the same color code.

This type of finish is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and restorations, as it allows for limiting the scope of paint work to potential blending, rather than full painting of the entire component from scratch.

Performance and construction parameters

The component belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is a key structural component of the side body section, responsible for rigidity, passenger protection, and proper guidance of windows and seals. The placement marked as Rear - right precisely defines the installation side, minimizing the risk of error when selecting the part.

The product has a specific weight, adapted to the factory design assumptions of the vehicle, which is important for the operation of hinges, actuators, and the overall balance of the body. Thanks to this, after proper installation, the door maintains the correct geometry, and the gap lines relative to adjacent panels remain even.

Condition, origin, and application

The door comes from the secondary market and is marked as used, which makes it a reasonable choice for economic repairs, post-accident reconstructions, and restoration projects where the cost-to-quality ratio matters. The original Mercedes body construction promotes the preservation of factory safety parameters and compatibility with equipment mounted in the door.

Thanks to the presence of a dedicated OEM part number and available interchangeable numbers, the component can be precisely verified for compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year, which is important when selecting a door for a specific unit.

Benefits of installation and additional information

Using an original rear right door in Obsidian Black Metallic allows you to:

• maintain a consistent appearance of the side body section without visible differences in paint shade,
• limit the scope of body and paint work thanks to the factory finish,
• maintain the correct geometry and rigidity of the door structure,
• ensure compatibility with factory equipment elements mounted in the door.
