Purpose and fitment for Mercedes W176

The presented wing mirror has been designed for the Mercedes A-Class W176 generation body and is intended for the right side of the vehicle. The construction, based on the manufacturer's solutions, ensures a proper fit to the door, correct adjustment geometry, and compatibility with factory mounting points. As a result, this component is an appropriate choice when replacing a damaged mirror after a collision or during paintwork repairs.

South Seas Blue – 162 color and body aesthetics

The South Seas Blue paint is one of the characteristic metallic shades used in Mercedes models, which allows for maintaining the vehicle's consistent stylistic line. Using the factory color reduces the need for additional painting and makes it easier to match the existing paintwork on the fender and door. The metallic structure of the coating improves the visual impression of color depth, which is particularly visible in daylight and under workshop lighting.

Power fold function

The built-in electric folding mechanism allows for remote folding of the mirror, which is useful when parking at the curb, in multi-level garages, or in narrow gateways. This solution:

• reduces the risk of accidental damage to the housing by other vehicles or pedestrians,
• facilitates maneuvering in limited spaces,
• increases the comfort of using the vehicle in urban traffic.

Thanks to electric control, the driver does not have to manually fold the mirror, which translates into ease of operation and consistent performance.

Characteristics of the used mirror

The offered item belongs to the Wing Mirrors group and is a used part, meaning it comes from vehicle dismantling. Such components are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs when maintaining the original construction and optimizing service costs are priorities. A used wing mirror allows for the restoration of full functionality to the side zone of the vehicle without the need to resort to aftermarket replacements with uncertain parameters.

Application in repairs and upgrades

The right power fold mirror will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged part and for upgrading the vehicle to a richer equipment configuration. In the case of vehicles that were factory-equipped with mirrors without the folding function, installing the power fold version (after considering installation requirements and equipment compatibility) can increase daily driving comfort and the vehicle's utility value.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the side body zone of your Mercedes and need other items from the same group, such as housings, glass inserts, or complete sets with turn signals, check the available parts in the Mercedes Wing Mirrors category.
