The Calcite White color with paint code 650 allows for consistency with the vehicle's factory finish, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and restoring the vehicle to a condition compliant with service documentation.

Technical and visual characteristics

The mirror designed for the left side of the vehicle ensures a proper field of view for the driver and compliance with homologation requirements for this model. The housing in Calcite White – 650 allows for installation without the need for additional painting, provided the vehicle has the same paint shade.

As an item from the Outside mirrors category, the product is responsible for improving safety during lane changes, maneuvering, and parking, while also influencing the aesthetics of the side body. The use of the original design promotes proper vibration damping and stable retention of the mirror glass while driving.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The mirror is offered as a used part, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original manufacturer quality. Choosing this solution allows for:

• maintaining the factory look of the vehicle at lower costs than with a new component,
• maintaining compatibility with the body structure and mounts provided by the manufacturer,
• reducing the time required for fitting and installation.

For body shops and independent service centers, the use of an original, used mirror means more efficient repair execution and a lower risk of fitment issues.

Application in repairs and upgrades

Mercedes SLK R172 Wing Mirror Door Left N/S Outside Calcite White will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged element after a collision and for comprehensive renovation of the side body area. Thanks to the color compatibility with Calcite White – 650 paint, the scope of painting work can be limited, which speeds up the repair process and reduces its cost.
