Purpose and fitment for the Mercedes SLK R172

The presented mirror has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R172 generation and is intended for installation on the left side of the vehicle. The construction, based on factory solutions, guarantees a proper fit to the door, correct adherence to the bodywork, and compatibility with factory mounting points.

Iridium Silver Metallic – 775 color and body aesthetics

The Iridium Silver Metallic – 775 paint is a characteristic metallic shade used by Mercedes, which highlights the body lines well and is frequently found on roadster models. Using the original color on the mirror housing allows you to:

• maintain visual consistency across the entire side of the vehicle,
• minimize shade differences compared to the factory paint,
• reduce or completely eliminate the need for repainting the part.

For users who care about the appearance of their car, this means a faster and more predictable repair, as well as a reduction in costs associated with paintwork.

Technical and functional characteristics

The mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors group, which means it plays a key role in terms of side and rear visibility. The design intended for the Mercedes SLK R172 ensures:

• adequate rigidity of the door mounting,
• the correct angle of adjustment relative to the driver,
• preservation of the aerodynamics characteristic of the roadster body.

As an original Mercedes component, the mirror is designed for long-term use, and its geometry and shape comply with factory safety and ergonomic standards.

Used condition and economic benefits

The offered item is in used condition, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to purchasing a new part. While maintaining correct geometry and mounting functions, such a solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs where both quality and budget are important.
