Purpose and fitment

The moulding is designed for installation on the front right door of the Mercedes M-Class W163 generation. Its placement on the vehicle is factory-defined, ensuring proper adhesion to the door skin and correct alignment with the body lines. The component is part of the exterior door trim, serving both to protect the metal surface and to maintain the consistent styling of the vehicle's side.

Color and paint finish

The moulding is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic, designated by paint code 359. This is a distinctive metallic color used by the factory on Mercedes vehicles, providing the body with an elegant, deep blue shade with a clear metallic effect. Using original paint allows for:

• maintaining color consistency with other body components,
• reducing the need for additional painting when the color is correctly matched,
• an aesthetic finish to the vehicle's side profile after repair or replacement.

Technical and functional characteristics

As a component from the Doors and door panels group, the moulding serves a protective and decorative function. Its purpose is to partially protect the door surface from minor mechanical damage and to complement the factory body styling package. The design of the moulding is tailored to the specific model and side of the vehicle, which translates into:

• proper fitment with door contours and edges,
• stable mounting at the points provided by the manufacturer,
• preservation of the original geometry of the side body line.

The product is a used item, which in practice means an opportunity for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Use in body repairs and restoration

The Tanzanite Blue Metallic moulding is suitable for both local repair of damaged doors and broader restoration work on the side of the body. Choosing an original component reduces the risk of fitment issues typical of aftermarket parts and facilitates maintaining the vehicle's factory appearance after repair. It is a practical solution for body shops and users who care about maintaining the consistent styling of their car.
