Purpose and fitment

Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures the preservation of the original design lines and proper fitment with the tailgate, lights, and side panels.

The Polar Silver Metallic - 761 color helps reduce the scope of paintwork required for vehicles in the same shade, which speeds up the repair process and facilitates maintaining a consistent look for the entire body.

Technical and functional characteristics

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning it serves both an aesthetic and structural function in the rear of the vehicle. The construction is prepared for integration with factory mounting elements, which facilitates installation in workshop conditions.

As an original Mercedes component, the bumper is optimized for:

• proper distribution of forces in the rear body zone,
• precise fitment to the body lines,
• maintaining factory gaps between body panels.

Condition and use in repairs

The product is offered as a used body component, making it a practical solution for post-accident repairs, visual corrections, or replacing a damaged bumper. This type of component allows for an economical restoration of the vehicle's rear section while maintaining the original design specifications.

Using an original rear bumper in the correct color reduces the risk of fitment issues and minimizes the need for mounting modifications, which is important for both workshops and individual users.

Benefits of using an original rear bumper

Choosing this rear bumper model for the Mercedes W169 allows you to maintain the vehicle's stylistic consistency and uphold the structural parameters intended by the manufacturer. Proper fitment to the rear body section translates into stable mounting, correct body line alignment, and an aesthetic appearance of the vehicle after repair.
