Purpose and Fitment

The offered skin panel is dedicated to the C117 body type and is mounted on the front right door. Thanks to its factory geometry, it maintains proper gaps between elements, facilitating the alignment of the door with the fender, sill, and pillar. This solution is particularly useful for post-accident repairs where restoring the original body geometry without additional modifications is crucial.

The vehicle placement is clearly defined as the front – right side, minimizing the risk of errors in part selection and speeding up the installation process in a service center or body shop.

Cosmos Black Metallic – 191 Color and Finish

The panel is finished in the factory color Cosmos Black Metallic – 191, characteristic of many Mercedes models. The metallic paint finish provides an aesthetic, deep black shade with subtle light reflections, allowing for visually consistent matching with other body elements in the same color.

In the case of bodywork and paint repairs, using a part already painted in the correct color code often limits the scope of additional painting work, which can reduce vehicle downtime in the workshop.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The door skin panel comes from disassembly, thus retaining the original construction and parameters specified by the manufacturer. A used body part is a solution often chosen for repairs where a combination of OEM quality and a reasonable cost for the entire service operation is important.

Factory origin promotes proper fitting with door hinges, locks, and seals, which is significant for both acoustic comfort and protection against moisture and dirt.

Application in Body Repairs

This skin panel is particularly suitable for:

• post-collision repairs where the outer door panel on the right side has been damaged,
• restoring the original appearance of the vehicle after unprofessional body repairs,
• restoration projects where maintaining the factory body line is important.

By retaining the original door construction, it is possible to maintain the proper functioning of internal mechanisms, such as window regulators or locks, without the need for additional structural modifications.

Related Parts and Part Selection

For a comprehensive repair of the right side of the body, it is worth considering a simultaneous check of hinges, seals, and other door components to ensure stable closing and even fit to the car body after panel installation. If you plan further upgrades or replacement of body parts on your Mercedes, check the available parts in the Mercedes Doors and Door Panels category.
