Characteristics and intended use

The described rear bumper is designed specifically for Mercedes R172 series models in the AMG version, with consideration for integration with factory PDC parking sensors. Its placement in the rear of the vehicle allows for the restoration of the original body geometry, which is important for both aerodynamics and the proper operation of parking assistance systems. The finish in Selenite Grey Metallic allows for matching the factory paint with the same color code, which limits the scope of additional paint work and facilitates maintaining a consistent stylistic line of the entire body.

Construction and fitment for AMG and PDC

The AMG rear panel features characteristic contours and a shape adapted to the sporty styling of this line, which contributes to the dynamic appearance of the vehicle. The design provides spaces for PDC sensors, making it possible to maintain the functionality of the parking system without the need for installation modifications. Its original origin from the Bumpers and reinforcements group means that the component was designed with factory mounting points in mind, which translates into proper fitment with other rear body components and stable mounting on the vehicle.

Benefits of using an original rear bumper

Using an original AMG rear panel allows for maintaining the factory body line, which is important from the point of view of both aesthetics and the potential residual value of the vehicle. A used component of this class represents a reasonable compromise between costs and maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's design. The main advantages include:

• maintaining the original AMG styling in the rear of the vehicle,
• adaptation for use with PDC parking sensors,
• matching the Selenite Grey Metallic paint,
• compatibility with factory mounting points.

Area of application and body system expansion

The component is intended for the rear body area, where it is responsible for protecting the vehicle structure and for the aesthetic finish of the lower part of the body. Replacing the rear bumper is particularly important after parking damage or collisions, when it is necessary to restore the proper geometry and appearance of the vehicle. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the bumper area in your Mercedes and need other elements from the same group, such as rear panels, reinforcements, or additional covers, check the available parts in the Mercedes Bumpers and reinforcements category.
