The part is finished in the factory color Karmesinrot – A61, which allows for an aesthetic match with a body painted in the same paint code. This can reduce or completely eliminate the need for additional painting, shortening repair time and lowering costs.

• possibility of integration with the existing vehicle locking system.

This type of solution allows for precise installation without structural modifications to the door, which is important both from a safety and repair durability perspective.
