Purpose and technical function

The presented fuel flap has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R170 model and is mounted at the rear of the body, in the fuel filler area. The component is responsible for shielding the filler neck from external contaminants, as well as maintaining a consistent body line. Thanks to the factory geometry, the correct gaps between the flap and the fender panel are maintained, which reduces the risk of paint rubbing and unwanted stress in this area.

Color scheme and visual fit

The flap is finished in the factory color Magma Red - 586, characteristic of Mercedes sports configurations. Using the original shade allows for:

• consistent matching to the existing body paint without the need to repaint the entire component,
• maintaining a uniform appearance of the rear of the vehicle,
• reducing the scope of paint work when replacing a damaged flap.

For vehicle owners with the same paint code, this is a practical solution for post-accident repairs or correcting operational damage in the fuel filler area.

Original origin and mounting parameters

The fuel flap comes from the Mercedes brand, which means compliance with factory dimensional and construction standards. The component is intended for installation at the rear of the vehicle (Rear) and works with the stock opening mechanism and the factory fuel filler socket. This makes it possible to maintain:

• proper operation of the hinge and opening spring,
• correct closing of the flap relative to the body,
• stable mounting without the need for body modifications.

The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates compatibility verification via manufacturer catalogs or the vehicle's VIN.

Condition characteristics and practical application

The offered fuel flap is in Used condition, which makes it a cost-effective solution for economical repairs, body reconstruction after minor collisions, or restoring the vehicle to its original specification. The used component allows for:

• preserving factory geometry and fitment with the body,
• reducing costs compared to a new component,
• maintaining the original character of the vehicle without using aftermarket replacements.

Due to its origin from the same model generation, the flap works with the stock locking mechanism and does not require structural adaptation.

Technical support and fuel system overview

When replacing the fuel flap, it is worth paying attention to the general condition of components related to refueling – the filler socket, seals, and lines leading to the tank.
