Purpose and fitment

The presented handle is intended for installation on the front right door in Mercedes A and B-Class W169/W245 generation vehicles. The vehicle placement specified as front – right side allows for clear identification of the mounting position and minimizes the risk of error when selecting the part.

The original design ensures proper fitment with the door panel, correct operation of the opening mechanism, and compatibility with factory locks and cylinders used in these models.

Color and body aesthetics

The handle is finished in the Polar Silver Metallic - 761 shade, characteristic of the Mercedes paint palette. The metallic coating blends well with the body lines, maintaining a uniform appearance of the vehicle's side after repair or replacement of a damaged component.

For users who want to maintain the original look of the car, using a factory-painted handle limits the scope of body and paint work and makes it easier to achieve a consistent visual effect.

Functional characteristics

• stable mounting to the door panel,

The used nature of the part allows for an economical replacement of a damaged handle while maintaining the original mounting specifications.

Condition and benefits of using a used part

The item comes from dismantling and is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution for body repairs. Compared to non-factory replacements, the original Mercedes handle retains the correct geometry, material quality, and compliance with the styling line of the W169/W245 models.
