Technical Characteristics and Purpose

The trunk lid is dedicated for installation at the rear of the body, maintaining original geometry and mounting points. This part is designed as a structural component of the body, responsible for properly closing the luggage compartment, interacting with hinges, the lock, and sealing the trunk opening. By preserving factory dimensions, precise alignment with fenders, the rear bumper, and lighting is possible.

Paint Finish and Aesthetics

The Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 color is a dark, metallic shade often used on higher-class models, which emphasizes a understated yet dynamic body character. The metallic paint structure provides depth of color and good matching to factory paint coatings in this color. For vehicles already painted in this shade, the lid can serve as a base for repairs with a limited scope of painting work, depending on quality requirements and the condition of the coating.

Performance Parameters and Installation

The trunk lid is among the elements of significant importance for the rigidity of the rear body section, therefore its construction is appropriately reinforced and adapted to withstand loads resulting from daily operation. The component's suitable weight aids in the stable operation of hinges and gas struts, while also contributing to the comfort of opening and closing the lid. The part is prepared for installation in its factory location, utilizing the vehicle's original mounting points and hardware.

This product comes from the used body parts segment, allowing for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original construction. By preserving the factory shape and contours, correct gaps between body elements can be achieved, and the vehicle's side profile can be maintained.

Application in Repairs and Restorations

This type of trunk lid is suitable for both standard post-accident repairs and comprehensive body restorations where maintaining the vehicle's original form is crucial. It can be used as a base for further bodywork and painting, including preparation for individual visual modifications. Used body parts are often chosen by workshops specializing in premium vehicle repairs, where compatibility with factory structural solutions is paramount.
