Purpose and Fitment for Mercedes SLK R172

The presented boot lid has been specifically designed for the Mercedes SLK R172 generation, taking into account the distinctive rear-end construction of the roadster. The part is prepared for installation in the rear section of the vehicle, maintaining the factory mounting points and geometry intended by the manufacturer.

Thanks to the use of original body construction, the lid ensures correct body line flow, proper alignment with the fenders, rear bumper, and the convertible roof cover. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where maintaining compliance with factory design specifications is crucial.

Calcite White - 650 Color and Paint Aspects

The boot lid is finished in the factory color Calcite White - 650, which facilitates matching with the existing body paint in the same shade. In many cases, this allows for minimizing the scope of painting work or focusing solely on local touch-ups, depending on the condition of the coating and the vehicle's aesthetic requirements.

A uniform, light body color promotes a consistent appearance of the car after repair, and the use of the original shade simplifies the work for painters, who can rely on standard paint formulas intended for this color.

Functional and Installation Parameters

The boot lid belongs to the group of body parts that are significant for the functionality of the rear of the vehicle. It is responsible for the proper closure of the luggage compartment, cooperation with the lock and seals, as well as stable operation during opening and closing. The construction is adapted to work with the hinge and actuator system designed for the SLK R172 model.

The part has a specific weight that is matched to the factory system for lifting and holding the lid in the open position. This ensures correct operation of the assistance mechanisms without excessive strain on the hinges or actuators.

Characteristics of a Used Product

The offered boot lid is a used part, which in practice means a real opportunity to optimize repair costs while maintaining the original body construction. Such parts are often chosen for professional body and paint repairs where compliance with factory solutions and predictable material behavior during further work are important.

Choosing a used body part allows for preserving original stampings, edges, and bending radii, which is important for both aesthetics and subsequent adjustment of panel gaps. This is a practical solution for workshops and individual users who expect a reasonable compromise between cost and quality.
