Purpose and function of the component

The rear bumper trim panel is responsible for the aesthetic finish of the lower body section and for maintaining the correct lines of the bumper in the rear area of the vehicle. As a component mounted in the rear body area, it contributes to:

• visual consistency of the rear of the car,
• proper fitment of the bumper with other body components,
• maintaining factory geometry and panel gaps.

By using an original Mercedes component, compatibility with factory mounting points and predictable performance during operation are maintained.

Color and paint matching

The component is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic – 197, which allows for easier matching to vehicles factory-painted in this shade. The metallic paint structure provides the characteristic depth and gloss typical of premium finishes used in Mercedes models.

In practice, this means reducing the scope of paint work or simplifying it – especially in the case of post-accident repairs, body restoration, or replacing a damaged bumper panel with an original part.

Technical characteristics and installation

The rear bumper trim panel has been designed as a component dedicated to a specific body generation, which translates into:

• compliance with factory mounting points in the rear of the vehicle,
• proper profiling relative to the bumper edges and fenders,
• the ability to install it in place of the original component without the need for structural modifications.

The product belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, making it suitable for use in areas exposed to dirt, weather conditions, and typical operational loads.

Condition and practical application

The offered panel is a used part, which makes it an attractive solution for economic repairs while maintaining the original character of the vehicle. Choosing an original used component allows for maintaining the factory look of the rear body section on a reasonable budget, especially in the case of local bumper damage or the need to replace a single panel.
