Purpose and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and was designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R172 generation. Its placement on the right side of the body guarantees compatibility with factory mounting points and correct geometry relative to the driver. The original construction ensures compatibility with factory wiring harnesses and door panel components, which facilitates installation in a workshop environment.

Color and body aesthetics

The mirror is finished in Schwarz Black - 040, which allows for maintaining a uniform body color in vehicles painted with this code. As a result, the component does not require additional painting after installation, provided the car has the same factory color. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, where both turnaround time and a consistent, aesthetic final result are important.

Functional characteristics

As an original wing mirror for a Mercedes, the component has been designed with stable imaging during driving and proper aerodynamics in mind. The housing design reduces air turbulence and noise at higher speeds, while the proper profiling of the mirror surface supports good visibility in the side and rear zones of the vehicle. This is particularly important in the low-slung body of a roadster, where precise control of the surroundings affects comfort and maneuvering safety.

Condition and service application

The mirror is a used part, which makes it an attractive cost-effective alternative while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Such components are often chosen by workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand and by users who want to restore the factory configuration of the vehicle without resorting to aftermarket parts with uncertain fitment. Replacing the right mirror allows for restoring full functionality of the side zone after a collision or operational damage.
