Purpose and Body Fitment

The presented rear bumper is designed as a component to be mounted on the rear of the body, maintaining the factory mounting points and geometry characteristic of the S204 series. This ensures that the correct body line is preserved after installation, and the gaps between elements remain even. The bumper's construction is prepared for integration with original reinforcements, mountings, and other components of the rear body zone.

Color and Paint Finish

The bumper is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, which belongs to the popular, elegant Mercedes paint palette. The metallic structure of the coating adds depth and a modern character to the body, while also facilitating matching with the existing vehicle paint in case of accident repairs or visual refresh. For body and paint shops, this means a reduced scope of surface preparation and a shorter service completion time.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and Reinforcements group, meaning its construction is adapted for integration with factory load-bearing and protective elements of the rear of the vehicle. Its placement in the rear body zone requires maintaining appropriate rigidity and compatibility with passive safety systems. The element has a specified weight, which is important both from a logistics perspective and for planning installation in a professional service center.

As a used part, the bumper offers an advantageous solution for accident repairs where the combination of original construction and a rational budget is key. Maintaining the factory geometry simplifies installation at standard mounting points, without the need for body modifications.

Practical Application and Benefits of Choice

Choosing an original rear bumper for the Mercedes S204 in Obsidian Black Metallic is particularly beneficial in situations where the priority is:

• maintaining a consistent body appearance after repair or modernization,
• preserving the factory body line and correct mounting gaps,
• reducing the scope of painting work thanks to the matched color,
• utilizing a construction compliant with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

For users who value technical correctness and aesthetic consistency, such a body part is a sensible choice when rebuilding the rear of the car after a collision or when replacing a worn-out bumper.
