Purpose and function of the component

The presented boot tailgate spoiler cover is dedicated to the rear body section of the C205 series coupé.

Thanks to its factory geometry, the component works well with the original mounting points and the shape of the tailgate.

Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 paint finish

The Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 color is a popular metallic shade of black used in premium Mercedes models. The metallic paint provides depth of color and a characteristic shine in both daylight and artificial light, which improves the visual consistency of the rear body section. Using the original color makes it easier to match the spoiler to the vehicle's existing paint, often reducing the need for a full repaint when replacing the component.

Benefits of using an original tailgate spoiler

Using an original boot tailgate spoiler cover on a Mercedes C205 allows you to maintain factory fitment and body lines. This component:

• maintains consistency with the factory styling of the vehicle's rear,
• facilitates installation thanks to its precise geometry and designated placement on the vehicle,
• allows for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged or worn spoiler without interfering with the tailgate structure.

For users seeking a factory look and color consistency, the original spoiler in Obsidian Black Metallic is a practical solution for accident repairs or bodywork refreshing.

Installation characteristics of the rear spoiler

The placement of the component in the rear zone of the vehicle makes it exposed to weather conditions and minor operational damage. Replacing the tailgate spoiler is a typical stage of body and paint work after collisions or during vehicle restoration. The original construction facilitates alignment with the tailgate edges, which shortens installation time and allows for even gaps and a correct transition line between components.

Condition and service application

The component comes from the Tailgates and rear parts category, meaning it is intended for use in the critical area of the rear body section. A used component of this type is often chosen in professional body shops as an economical solution that is also compliant with factory specifications for accident repairs. This helps reduce costs compared to new parts, while maintaining the original geometry and finish character.
