Purpose and Body Fitment

This part is designed as the rear door for the left side of a W205 generation Mercedes C-Class sedan. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle on the driver's side allows for direct replacement of a damaged panel without altering the body's geometry. By maintaining the factory geometry of edges, contours, and mounting points, the door works with original hinges, locks, seals, and glass, facilitating installation and subsequent gap adjustment.

Color and Paint Finish

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, a characteristic Mercedes paint color, which can minimize the scope of painting work when replacing an element on a vehicle with the same color code. The metallic finish ensures visual consistency with other body panels, and the properly prepared surface provides a solid base for potential shade matching during spot or full repainting.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

As a component from the Doors and door sheets group, this product is a complete outer panel designed for integration with the existing body structure. Its construction is intended to withstand the operational loads typical of the vehicle's side body, including the function of hinges, locks, and seals. The appropriately selected weight of the door contributes to proper closing and the operation of the opening and closing mechanism after correct adjustment.

In practice, the door can be installed using existing vehicle components such as the wiring harness, lock, handle, glass, guides, or trim, optimizing repair costs while maintaining factory functionality.

Item Condition and Service Application

The product is used, making it a cost-effective service solution for accident repairs, correction of parking damage, or body restoration. Such parts are particularly useful when preserving the original body structure is a priority, while also reducing costs compared to new panels from authorized dealerships.

The door is suitable for both professional body and paint shops, as well as workshops specializing in Mercedes-Benz vehicle repairs, where quick availability, structural compatibility, and the ability to visually match the existing paint finish are important.

Integration with Other Mercedes Body Elements
