Purpose and fitment for Mercedes SLK R170

The offered fuel filler flap is designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R170 body structure, ensuring it maintains factory body lines and correct gap geometry relative to the fender and bumper. Original mounting points and the correct hinge profile allow for installation in place of a worn-out part without the need for bodywork modifications.

Thanks to the use of the factory design solution, the flap works with the standard opening and closing mechanism, which facilitates daily fuel filler operation and reduces the risk of leaks in this area of the body.

Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 color and visual aspect

The item is painted in the Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 shade, characteristic of selected Mercedes SLK R170 color configurations. For vehicle owners with this color, this means the ability to maintain visual consistency without the need for color matching by eye.

The fuel filler flap in this shade helps reduce the scope of paint work – in many cases, standard correction and polishing are sufficient to match the surface to the rest of the body. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, spot renovations, and restoring the aesthetics of a classic roadster.

Characteristics of the used part

As a used part, the fuel filler flap retains the original geometry and construction intended by the manufacturer. This type of component is particularly valued for repairs where maintaining factory fitment and compatibility with existing body elements is important.

Choosing a used OEM part often allows for cost savings compared to new replacements, while maintaining proper fitment to the bodywork and the standard fuel filler locking system.

Application in the vehicle's fuel system

The fuel filler flap plays an important role in protecting the filler neck and cap housing from dirt, moisture, and mechanical damage. A properly functioning flap reduces the risk of dirt entering the filler area, which promotes trouble-free operation of the fuel system.
