Purpose and fitment for Mercedes SLK R172

The presented mirror is designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R172 generation, intended for the right side of the vehicle. The housing construction, mounting points, and electrical connectors comply with factory standards, facilitating installation and maintaining stylistic consistency with other body components.

The placement on the right side of the body is particularly important in right-hand drive vehicles, where the mirror plays a key role in monitoring blind spots and observing traffic lanes. The appropriate profile of the housing and the angle of the mirror glass support precise distance estimation during lane changes and maneuvering.

Electrical functions: auto dip and power fold

The mirror is equipped with an auto-dimming function that helps reduce glare from vehicles behind. The auto dip system dynamically adjusts the dimming level of the mirror surface, improving image clarity at night and in bright lighting conditions.

The power-folding function allows the mirror to be folded using cabin controls, which facilitates parking in narrow spaces and reduces the risk of accidental damage. The integrated electric motor works with the vehicle's factory controller, allowing operation via the original door buttons or the vehicle menu (depending on the car's configuration).

Color and aesthetics: Selenite Grey Metallic - 992

The mirror housing is finished in Selenite Grey Metallic - 992, one of the characteristic shades used in the Mercedes range. The metallic paint coating ensures a consistent look with the factory body paint, and the appropriate surface structure allows for a uniform visual appearance with the hood, fenders, and doors.

For owners of an SLK R172 in this color, the mirror is an aesthetically matched replacement part that does not require additional painting, provided the vehicle's shade matches the color code. This is a practical solution for accident repairs or replacing a damaged mirror after a parking collision.

Construction and user benefits

As an item in the Wing Mirrors category, the product combines the function of protecting the vehicle's side zone with ensuring proper visibility. The use of electric control and folding reduces the need for manual adjustment, and integrated solutions improve operational ergonomics.

• Dedicated placement on the right side of the vehicle, consistent with the SLK R172 body geometry.
• Support for auto dip and power fold functions via factory controllers.
• Selenite Grey Metallic color matched to the original Mercedes paint palette.
• Original mirror construction maintaining factory mounting points.

The used condition means the part comes from dismantling, which allows for maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications while optimizing repair costs.

Vehicle integration and part selection

The mirror is designed to work with the Mercedes electrical system; therefore, before installation, it is worth verifying the vehicle's equipment configuration (the presence of folding and dimming functions in the original mirror). Proper selection of the component helps avoid issues with wiring and control compatibility.
