Purpose and body fitment

The moulding has been designed specifically for Mercedes W163 models and is mounted in the front left door area. It is responsible for the aesthetic finish of the lower part of the door skin while helping to protect the door surface from minor mechanical damage, such as scuffs or light impacts. The component's design is compatible with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the body line in accordance with the manufacturer's original design.

Color and finish – Tanzanite Blue Metallic

The element is finished in the Tanzanite Blue Metallic – 359 shade, characteristic of selected Mercedes paint configurations. The metallic coating gives the body an elegant, understated look that harmonizes well with both dark and light styling accents. Using the factory color allows for a visual match of the moulding to the existing paintwork without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same color code.

Characteristics of the used component

The moulding belongs to the group of used parts, meaning it comes from vehicle dismantling while retaining the functionality and geometry suitable for reinstallation. This type of component is a good solution for maintenance repairs where the priority is to maintain the manufacturer's original specification while optimizing costs. A used body component also allows for maintaining visual consistency with other body parts that are also not brand new.

Application in body repairs and restoration

The door moulding in Tanzanite Blue Metallic is suitable for both local repairs after minor collisions and for broader restoration work on the side of the body. It can be used as a replacement for a damaged element or as a supplement for a missing moulding after previous removal. Thanks to the preservation of the factory shape and profile, it facilitates the restoration of the vehicle's original side line, which is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons.
