Purpose and body fitment

The presented item is a complete rear left door, dedicated to the saloon body style of the Mercedes W213 model. Positioned in the rear section on the driver's side, this part is responsible for both passenger protection and maintaining the vehicle's side profile lines. The door construction is prepared to work with factory hinge mounting points, locks, and seals, which facilitates installation in a workshop environment.

Paint color and finish

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic – 197, one of the popular, elegant shades used in premium Mercedes vehicles. The metallic paint coating provides depth of color and a characteristic gloss that blends well with chrome and black body trim. Using the factory color significantly limits the scope of paint work required after installation, which translates into savings in both time and repair costs.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a component from the Doors and door panels group, the product serves as a load-bearing side panel that works with factory seals, glass, fittings, and the lock system. The design, intended for installation in the rear left part of the vehicle, allows for maintaining proper side body rigidity and correct fitment against the sill, pillar, and rear fender. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, it is possible to precisely set the gaps between body panels, which is important for both visual and functional reasons (sealing, acoustics).

Condition and service application

The door comes from dismantling, making it an attractive solution for accident repairs, restorations, and optimizing service costs. A used body component often allows for avoiding long wait times for new parts while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. It is a practical choice for body shops and users who expect a reasonable compromise between price and quality.

Application in accident repairs and restorations

The Mercedes W213 Saloon Door Rear Left N/S Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 is particularly useful in situations where the factory panel has been damaged due to a side collision, parking scrape, or mechanical corrosion. Using an original component from the same body generation facilitates:

• restoring the vehicle's factory side line,
• maintaining proper fitment with the sill and pillars,
• reducing the scope of body filler and straightening work,
• reducing the time required for adjustment and hinge alignment.
