Purpose and Body Fitment

The presented tailgate is dedicated to the rear of the Mercedes A-Class W176 generation. As an original part, it has been designed with factory dimensional tolerances, ensuring proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and other body panel components. This allows for the preservation of correct gap geometry, which is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons (e.g., for the proper closing of the lid).

Mineral Grey Metallic – B39 Color

The tailgate is finished in the Mineral Grey Metallic – B39 paint, characteristic of modern Mercedes models. The metallic finish ensures consistency with the factory color palette, making it easier to match the part to the existing body paint. In many cases, this allows for the scope of painting work to be limited to corrections and polishing, which reduces repair time and cost.

Original Part from the Bonnet/Hoods Category

Although the product is classified in the technical category of Bonnet/Hoods, it functionally serves as the rear tailgate. Original OEM construction means maintaining appropriate rigidity, proper hinge operation, and compatibility with factory mounting points for accessories (lock, gas struts, wiring harnesses, trim strips – if provided for in the specific vehicle configuration). This allows the tailgate to be integrated into the existing body structure without modifications.

Used Condition and Advantages of Choosing OEM

The part comes from the aftermarket, allowing for a combination of an attractive price with factory-quality craftsmanship. A used OEM tailgate is a solution often chosen by body and paint shops and discerning owners who prefer original body components over unreliable aftermarket alternatives with poorer geometry and weaker paint coatings.

Application in Professional Repairs

The tailgate in Mountain Grey Metallic is particularly suitable for:

• post-accident repairs where the entire tailgate needs replacement,
• restoring the vehicle to a near-factory condition after mechanical damage or corrosion,
• restoration projects where maintaining the original character of the bodywork is important.

By maintaining factory mounting parameters, the part works well with original seals, hardware, and other rear body components.
