Technical specifications and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle. The construction has been designed to maintain factory geometry, which facilitates setting the appropriate viewing angle and integration with the door line. The applied electric folding mechanism allows for convenient folding of the mirror from the cabin, which is particularly useful when parking in tight spaces.

The original Mercedes origin means compliance with factory quality standards, as well as predictable performance during operation. The mirror is prepared to work with the electrical system specific to the given model, which limits the need for additional modifications.

Iridium Silver Metallic paint finish

The mirror housing is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic, marked with paint code 775, characteristic of many Mercedes SLK R171 units. Thanks to this, the element harmoniously fits into the body line without the need for additional painting, provided the shade matches correctly. The metallic coating gives the vehicle a modern, understated look and works well with chrome and dark body details.

Such a finish is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged mirror in cars already painted in this color – it allows for reducing repair time and costs associated with repainting, while maintaining the visual consistency of the entire side of the vehicle.

Functionality and daily use

The mirror with electric folding improves the ergonomics of using the vehicle in the city and in garages with limited space. The ability to fold the housing reduces the risk of accidental damage when passing or parking. Additionally, the properly designed shape of the mirror supports image clarity in the side and rear zones, which translates into safer maneuvering.

As a used item, the mirror represents a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality, allowing for the restoration of full side visibility system efficiency without the need to invest in a new component. It is a practical solution for both post-accident repairs and replacing a worn or damaged element.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered item comes from dismantling and is used, which means it may show signs of previous use, yet it retains full structural and functional integrity. Choosing an original used part allows you to maintain factory fitment with the door and proper cooperation with the vehicle's electrical system, which is important for body components exposed to vibrations and weather conditions.

If you are considering whether it is better to opt for refurbishment or a proven component from dismantling, it is worth checking out the practical tips in the article Refurbished or used original – which part to choose for repairs?, where the differences between these solutions are discussed in the context of durability and cost-effectiveness.
