Purpose and body fitment

The presented item is designed as a complete front right door for the Mercedes W169 compact class body. The construction corresponds to factory dimensions and mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of the original door without the need for interference with the pillar structure, hinges, or lock. Using an original door panel allows for maintaining the proper lateral stiffness of the body and correct seal adhesion.

Color and preparation for painting

The door is finished in Tropical Black Metallic - 160, a dark, metallic shade of black characteristic of the Mercedes palette. In practice, this means the possibility of:

• direct installation in a vehicle with the same paint code (after appropriate visual matching),
• professional preparation for repainting in a different color, while maintaining the proper substrate structure,
• easier shade matching in the case of local paint repairs.

Vehicle placement and structural function

The component is intended for installation on the front right side of the vehicle, which is important for both safety and ergonomics. The door in this position is responsible for:

• proper window guidance and sealing the cabin against noise and weather conditions,
• maintaining the correct side line of the body and gaps between body elements,
• stable mounting of hinges and the lock at factory structural points.

Proper adjustment of the door geometry to the body is crucial for correct closing, lock operation, and reducing stress in the sill and pillar zone.

Characteristics of the used part

The door comes from a used vehicle, which means these are original used body components. Such parts are frequently chosen for post-accident repairs because they:

• retain the factory thickness and type of sheet metal used by the manufacturer,
• enable economical repair while maintaining the original construction,
• are a good base for body and paint work in professional workshops.

Before installation, standard verification of the surface condition, edges, and mounting points is recommended, in accordance with procedures used in body shops.
