Intended Use and Body Fitment

The presented part is designed as a rear right door for the S205 series estate body, maintaining factory geometry and mounting points. This ensures precise alignment with the fender, sill, and pillar lines, as well as proper interaction with the hinges, lock, and perimeter seal.

Thanks to its construction conforming to manufacturer standards, the door retains appropriate torsional rigidity, which is important for the lock's operation, cabin noise reduction, and proper closing. This solution is particularly useful for repairs after side collisions, where restoring the factory door opening geometry is required.

Obsidian Black Metallic Paint Color

The factory color Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 is a popular, elegant shade of metallic black used in Mercedes premium class models. Applying the original color to the entire door surface facilitates:

• limiting the scope of painting to local touch-ups and shading,
• maintaining shade consistency with other body panels,
• reducing repair time compared to parts in raw primer.

For body and paint shops, this means a more predictable color matching process, and for the user – an aesthetic final result close to the factory finish.

Technical Characteristics and Installation

The door belongs to the Doors and Door Panels group, meaning it is a fully functional side panel responsible for both passenger protection and proper window operation and interior sealing. The construction is intended for installation in the rear right part of the vehicle, using the factory mounting points for accessories.

The part is used, which in practice means real cost savings for repairs while maintaining the original body structure. In many cases, this solution avoids time-consuming repair of heavily deformed doors or their reconstruction using non-original panels.

Practical Application and Benefits of Installation

The use of this part is particularly beneficial in situations where the entire rear right door needs replacement due to mechanical damage, corrosion, or intensive wear and tear. The main advantages of this solution include:

• restoring the correct body side line without additional straightening,
• the possibility of using existing accessories (window, lock, wiring harness – according to vehicle configuration),
• maintaining the vehicle's factory character thanks to the original door construction.

For users who value the visual and technical consistency of their car, installing an original door is a more predictable solution than repairing a heavily damaged part or using aftermarket replacements with uncertain geometry.
