Purpose and body fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W169 model, taking into account the geometry of the rear body section and factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures proper absorption of minor operational loads and maintains the correct body line.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, the component allows for maintaining factory gaps between panels, which translates into an aesthetic appearance and proper fitment with the lights, trunk lid, and side body panels.

Reef Silver Metallic - 783 color and visual aspect

The bumper is finished in the Reef Silver Metallic - 783 color, characteristic of many Mercedes W169 units. Selecting the correct shade makes it easier to limit the scope of paint work – in many cases, a simple correction or polishing is sufficient instead of a full repaint of the component.

The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the factory body finish, which is important both for post-accident repairs and for visual refreshing of the vehicle. This solution is particularly beneficial for users who want to preserve the original character of the car.

Characteristics of the used component

As a part from the secondary market, the rear bumper for the Mercedes W169 represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original construction. A used body component allows for an economical reconstruction of the vehicle's rear zone while maintaining compliance with factory technical solutions.

Choosing an original, used bumper from the Bumpers and reinforcements category minimizes the risk of installation problems typical of lower-quality aftermarket replacements. This is a practical solution for both body and paint workshops and individual users planning a vehicle repair.

Benefits of using an original rear bumper

• preservation of the factory geometry of the rear body section and correct component fitment,
• reduction of paint work scope thanks to the matched Reef Silver Metallic - 783 color,
• compatibility with factory mounting points and equipment installed in the rear zone,
• economical repair while maintaining the original Mercedes W169 construction.
