Purpose and fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the C238 body type, taking into account the requirements of the AMG package. This ensures a proper fit to the body lines, mounting points, and associated components, such as reinforcements or covers. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the restoration of the correct structure of the impact zone following a collision or during comprehensive body restoration.

Color and paint finish

The Obsidian Black Metallic color is one of the popular, elegant shades used in higher-trim Mercedes models. The metallic paint structure provides attractive color depth and a good match to the vehicle's factory finish in the same color code. In practice, this reduces the scope of additional paint work, which is significant for post-accident repairs and refreshing the car's appearance.

Technical and structural characteristics

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning its construction is adapted to work with load-bearing and absorption elements in the rear of the body. The appropriately selected mass of the component helps maintain proper load distribution and does not negatively affect the vehicle's handling characteristics. The element features factory-provided mounting points, which facilitates correct seating on the vehicle and minimizes the need for additional modifications.

Condition and use in repairs

The bumper is a used part, making it an attractive solution for users looking for original components at a reasonable price while maintaining compliance with factory specifications. This type of part is suitable for both post-accident repairs and for replacing a damaged or worn bumper to improve aesthetics and restore the correct geometry of the rear body section.

Benefits of using an original AMG bumper

Choosing an original AMG bumper for the Mercedes C238 allows you to maintain the vehicle's stylistic consistency, especially in versions equipped with sports body packages. Precise fit to the body lines, compatibility with factory mounting points, and appropriate material characteristics translate into stable installation and predictable behavior of the element during operation. This is the preferred solution for workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand and users who care about maintaining the vehicle in a configuration close to the factory state.
