Purpose and vehicle function

The presented mirror is designed for installation on the right side of the vehicle, in the passenger door area. The construction was developed to maintain the factory field-of-view geometry, which translates into predictable vehicle behavior during lane changes, overtaking, and maneuvering in confined spaces.

The auto-dip function allows the mirror glass to tilt automatically when reverse gear is engaged, assisting the driver in precisely observing curbs, parking lines, and obstacles located low near the vehicle. This solution is particularly appreciated in daily city driving and in underground garages.

Exterior appearance and color matching

The mirror is finished in Indium Grey Metallic – 963, allowing for seamless matching with the factory body paint in this color. The metallic coating gives the housing a subdued, modern character that complements the styling lines of the Mercedes W212.

By maintaining the original color specification, the component does not require additional painting after installation, provided the vehicle has the same paint code. This solution reduces vehicle downtime and simplifies the process of repairing the exterior finish after a collision or parking damage.

Benefits of using an original dismantled mirror

Using an original dismantled wing mirror allows you to maintain factory fitment with the door and proper integration with the vehicle's electrical system. The correct geometry of the mounts and the shape of the housing minimize the risk of wind noise and unwanted vibrations at higher speeds.

The main advantages of this solution include:

• maintaining the original body line and vehicle proportions,
• factory compatibility with the electrical harness and mirror control systems,
• visual consistency with other body parts in the same color,
• the possibility of economical repair after damage to the side area of the vehicle.
