Purpose and fitment

The presented cover is a part from the Mirror components group, designed for installation on the left side of the vehicle. The housing construction is prepared to work with the factory glass, turn signal, and mirror adjustment mechanism used in Mercedes A-Class W176 generation models. By maintaining the original geometry of the mounts, the part allows for the correct positioning of the mirror relative to the door and bodywork.

Color and finish

The cover is finished in South Seas Blue Metallic – 162 paint, characteristic of the Mercedes color palette. The metallic structure of the coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which reduces the need for additional painting if the vehicle's shade is well-matched. This is a beneficial solution when replacing a damaged cover on cars of the same color, allowing for shorter repair times and reduced painting costs.

Technical characteristics and installation

The mirror housing has been designed as an external body cover, responsible for protecting the internal mirror components from weather conditions and minor to medium mechanical damage. The shape and line of the embossments are matched to the profile of the door and pillar, which allows for visual consistency of the entire side area of the body.

During installation, it is important to properly seat all clips and guides to avoid looseness, vibrations, and leaks. Using an original housing facilitates service work, as it does not require fitting or shape modifications, and the replacement process can be carried out using the standard service procedure for Mercedes side mirrors.

Condition and service application

The item comes from dismantling, which means it is an original Mercedes part, not a replacement. Such components are often chosen in professional workshops for post-accident repairs and for minor visual corrections when only the outer mirror cover has been damaged. Using a used OEM element allows you to maintain the stylistic consistency of the vehicle and reduce costs compared to purchasing a new part.

Benefits of choosing an original mirror housing

By choosing this mirror housing cover, you gain:

• compliance with the factory body line and W176 model styling,
• original paint in the South Seas Blue Metallic – 162 shade,
• easier installation thanks to the retention of factory mounting points,
• the possibility of an economical repair of the mirror area without interfering with the door structure.
