Purpose and body fitment

The trim strip is designed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz CLK W208 in the Elegance trim and is mounted on the right side of the vehicle. The shape of the profile corresponds to the geometry of the factory fender, which allows for secure seating of the component in the original mounting points and maintains even gaps between panels. This solution reduces the risk of paint stress and non-factory deformations of the side line.

Almandine Black Metallic paint finish

The component is finished in Almandine Black Metallic paint, designated by code 182, characteristic of selected Mercedes-Benz color configurations. The metallic structure of the coating provides color depth and good matching to bodywork in the same shade, which facilitates maintaining a uniform vehicle appearance after repair or replacement of a damaged strip. In many cases, this allows for limiting the scope of additional paint work solely to potential touch-ups.

Functional characteristics of the component

As an original wheel arch trim from the Elegance series, the product has been designed for daily use, with an emphasis on stable mounting and resistance to typical road stresses. When properly installed, the trim strip:

• protects the edge of the fender against minor mechanical damage in the wheel arch area,
• masks potential imperfections after body repairs in the lower part of the fender,
• maintains a consistent, elegant look of the side body section, in line with the styling of the Elegance version.

The used nature of the component makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Installation and service application

The trim strip is intended for installation in the factory mounting points on the right fender, which facilitates service work and reduces repair time. In practice, it will work well both for local replacement of a damaged strip and for broader body and paint work within the wheel arch and fender area. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, the component works well with adjacent panels, such as the bumper or sill, which is important for precise gap alignment.
