Purpose and fitment

The presented bumper has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the W245 series, ensuring a precise fit to the body lines and factory mounting points. The sporty design allows for maintaining the vehicle's dynamic look while remaining consistent with the manufacturer's original styling.

The Mountain Grey Metallic - 787 paint shade is a popular, elegant color from the manufacturer's palette that blends well with both chrome and dark body accents. In the case of post-accident repairs or replacing a worn component, this allows for minimizing paintwork and easier visual matching with the remaining panels.

Technical and functional characteristics

The rear bumper in the sport version plays a key role in protecting the rear of the vehicle, absorbing energy from minor impacts and stabilizing the mounting zone for associated components. As an element from the Bumpers and reinforcements category, it works in conjunction with internal reinforcements, mounts, and covers to create a cohesive body protection system.

The sporty geometry of the bumper influences the aerodynamics of the rear section, and the properly shaped contours facilitate correct airflow. This ensures the factory flow characteristics are maintained, which is important both for stability at higher speeds and for the aesthetics of the entire vehicle silhouette.

Color and body aesthetics

The Mountain Grey Metallic - 787 finish is a metallic, subdued shade of grey, often chosen for configurations with a more dynamic yet elegant character. The metallic structure of the paint highlights the light refraction on the bumper's contours, which visually enhances the sporty line of the car's rear.

Selecting a bumper in the same color code as the rest of the body helps reduce the risk of shade differences after repair. In many cases, simple alignment and polishing are sufficient to achieve a consistent visual effect, which reduces vehicle downtime and simplifies the service process.

Condition, application, and benefits of installation

The item is offered as a used part, which is a beneficial solution for repairs where the priority is combining original construction with a reasonable budget. Choosing an original bumper from disassembly allows for maintaining the correct geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with factory brackets and covers.

Installing such a bumper is usually simpler than in the case of aftermarket replacements because the construction corresponds to the manufacturer's factory specifications. This translates into better fitment with the fenders, trunk lid, and other rear body components, as well as stable seating in the mounting zone.
