Purpose and body fitment

The presented item is a complete rear door on the left side, dedicated to the Saloon body type for the Mercedes C-Class W204 generation. Its placement in the rear driver-side zone allows for direct replacement of the damaged skin without the need to interfere with the vehicle's load-bearing structure. Using an original door panel facilitates the installation of factory seals, locks, hinges, and windows, which translates into proper closing, airtightness, and reduced cabin noise.

Obsidian Black Metallic paint – benefits for repairs

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic paint, code 197, widely used in the Mercedes W204 range. For body shops, this means the possibility of limiting the painting scope to local touch-ups and polishing, provided the condition of the coating on the part is acceptable relative to the rest of the body. For the end user, this is an opportunity for an aesthetic, visually consistent repair without the need for a full repaint of the entire side of the vehicle.

Technical characteristics and performance properties

The original Mercedes W204 Saloon rear left door has been designed as an integral part of the side structure, working with factory hinge and lock mounting points. The panel construction ensures:

• correct window operation in factory guides,
• adequate side body stiffness in the rear zone,
• the ability to install original moldings, seals, and internal equipment,
• preservation of the factory body lines and edges.

Additionally, the component has a specific structural weight, which is important from the perspective of vehicle weight distribution and the long-term operation of hinges and locks.

Used condition – practical advantages

The door comes from a used vehicle, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining original manufacturing quality. A used OEM part is a beneficial solution for workshops and individual customers who want to avoid issues with fitting aftermarket replacements of uncertain geometry. In many cases, installing such a part shortens bodywork time, reduces the amount of filler and edge adjustment required, and thus lowers the total cost of repair.

If the environmental aspect is also important, it is worth considering the impact of reusing original body parts.

Application in Mercedes W204 body repairs

The Mercedes W204 Saloon rear left door in Obsidian Black Metallic will work well for both post-accident repairs and the restoration of fleet vehicles or private cars that have suffered from corrosion or mechanical damage. Doors and door panels of this type are particularly valued in professional workshops for their dimensional repeatability and the ability to be quickly installed using factory mounting points.
