Purpose and fitment

The presented boot lid is a component designed for installation in the rear part of the body, in the luggage compartment area. The design, based on factory Mercedes solutions, allows for maintaining the correct gap geometry, proper lock operation, and compatibility with the vehicle's factory hinges and mounting hardware.

The Obsidian Black Metallic - 475 color is a popular, dark metallic paint used in Mercedes models, which facilitates matching the component during post-accident repairs or when replacing a worn boot lid without the need for a full body repaint.

Technical characteristics of the component

The boot lid belongs to the group of body components that are essential for the rigidity of the rear part of the car body and the proper closing of the luggage space. The appropriately selected weight of the structure promotes stable operation of the hinges and actuators, and the proper distribution of loads limits excessive wear of the mounting elements.

The lid has been designed to maintain the factory body line, which translates into vehicle aesthetics and proper adhesion of seals and finishing elements. This makes it possible to maintain proper sealing of the rear part of the body and reduce noise and vibrations transmitted to the cabin interior.

Color and paint layer

The finish in the Obsidian Black Metallic - 475 shade provides a characteristic, deep metallic effect that harmonizes well with the Mercedes body line. This type of paint allows for a consistent vehicle appearance after repair, especially in cases where the remaining body elements are maintained in the same color code.

The metallic paint coating, with proper preparation and polishing, enables an even reflection of light, which is important both from the point of view of aesthetics and the subsequent resale of the vehicle after the repair has been performed.

Condition and use in repairs

The component comes from the used parts segment, which allows for an economical repair of the rear part of the body while maintaining the original Mercedes construction. This type of solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, when it is necessary to replace the entire boot lid, and the priority is to maintain the factory character of the vehicle.

The boot lid can be used both in restoration repairs and for visual modernization of the vehicle, when the owner decides to replace the element with a version in a different paint finish within the same color code.
