Technical specifications and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R172 generation model. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle guarantees compliance with the factory body geometry and the correct field of vision for the driver. The construction, based on the vehicle manufacturer's solutions, allows for seamless integration with the door, seals, and other elements of the side body area.

The Obsidian Black Metallic color – marked with the manufacturer's paint code – ensures an aesthetic match for cars finished in the same shade. Thanks to this, the mirror can be used both as a replacement part after damage and as a component to restore the consistent look of the car after body and paint repairs.

Exterior appearance and aesthetics

The Obsidian Black Metallic paint is characterized by a deep, dark tone with a metallic effect, which harmonizes well with the dynamic body line of the SLK R172. Using the original shade allows for maintaining a uniform look of the entire vehicle body, without differences in shade or gloss. The mirror creates a cohesive whole with the line of the door, pillar, and hood, which is important both visually and for the potential resale of the car.

As a premium body component, the mirror supports the style characteristic of the Mercedes brand – understated, yet modern and elegant. This is particularly important for cars where exterior details are a significant element of the vehicle's image.

Practical application and installation

The Mercedes SLK R172 Wing Mirror Outside Right O/S Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 is suitable for situations where the existing component has been mechanically damaged, requires replacement after a collision, or is intended for replacement during a broader renovation of the side body part. Thanks to the design consistent with the vehicle manufacturer's solutions, it is possible to maintain the correct adjustment angle and stability while driving.

The product is offered as a used original component, which in practice means a beneficial combination of build quality and an attractive price compared to new aftermarket replacements. In many cases, such a solution allows for reducing repair costs without sacrificing the factory standard of fitment.

Benefits of choosing an original used mirror

Choosing an original wing mirror from the secondary market is a sensible strategy for owners of premium cars. You receive a component designed specifically for a given model, with the correct geometry, shape, and surface finish maintained. In practice, this translates into:

• a consistent look of the side body part,
• a correct field of vision on the passenger side,
• easier installation thanks to factory fitment,
• reduced repair costs while maintaining the vehicle manufacturer's quality.
