Purpose and fitment for Mercedes SLK R171

The presented wing mirror has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R171 generation, intended for the right side of the vehicle. The housing construction, base shape, and mounting geometry are consistent with the manufacturer's factory specifications, which facilitates installation on the driver's side for right-hand drive versions or the passenger's side for left-hand drive versions, depending on the vehicle configuration.

By maintaining the original mirror shape, the side body line remains consistent, and the aerodynamics and visibility in the right-side zone of the vehicle comply with factory safety parameters.

Functionality and power folding

The mirror is equipped with a power folding function, which allows for convenient folding of the housing using the controls inside the vehicle. This solution:

• facilitates parking in tight spaces,
• reduces the risk of accidental damage to the housing,
• increases the comfort of daily vehicle operation.

Integration with the factory door control system allows for the preservation of the original operating logic, without the need for additional switches or wiring modifications, provided the car is equipped with the appropriate harness and control module.

Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 color and visual aspect

The mirror housing is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, characteristic of many Mercedes paint configurations. As a result, the element blends well with the bodywork in the same shade, minimizing the need for additional painting when replacing a damaged mirror with a used component.

The metallic structure of the paint ensures consistency in light reflection with other body panels, which is important both aesthetically and for vehicle resale, where a uniform appearance of the side body zone counts.

Condition, construction, and installation advantages

As an item in the Wing Mirrors category in used condition, the product retains full structural functionality, enabling secure mounting to the door and proper operation of the folding mechanism. The used nature of the part allows for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specification.

The main advantages of this mirror include:

• original construction tailored to the Mercedes SLK R171,
• power folding improving ergonomics of use,
• factory Obsidian Black Metallic color, reducing the need for additional paint work,
• possibility of use as a replacement for a damaged mirror on the right side of the vehicle.
