Purpose and body fitment

The presented moulding is dedicated for installation on the front right door of Mercedes CL203 models. Its placement on the vehicle has been factory-engineered to precisely replicate the side line and door contours, which facilitates installation and ensures proper alignment with other body panels.

The component belongs to the Doors and door panels group, making it perfectly integrated into the structural design of the side body – it works in conjunction with the door skin, seals, and other protective mouldings.

Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 paint finish

The moulding is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic – 197, characteristic of many Mercedes trim levels. The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, reducing the need for additional paint work after installation. As a result, this component is particularly well-suited for:

• local repairs after collisions or scratches,
• replacing a single moulding without interfering with the entire door,
• restoring a uniform appearance to the side of the vehicle.

Selecting the correct color significantly shortens repair time and makes it easier to maintain an even shade along the entire length of the body.

Characteristics of the used component

The door moulding is offered as a used part, meaning it has been removed from a dismantled Mercedes vehicle. Such components are frequently chosen for economic repairs where maintaining original geometry and material quality is prioritized while optimizing costs. A used body component often allows for a better color match to the rest of the bodywork than a new, freshly painted replacement.

Choosing an original moulding from dismantling also provides benefits in terms of compatibility – factory mounting points are preserved, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of leaks or improper adhesion to the door surface.

Application in Mercedes repairs and restorations

The front right door moulding in Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 is suitable for both accident repairs and gradual body restoration. It can be used as:

• a replacement for a damaged or deformed moulding,
• a component to restore aesthetics after corrosion or paint chips,
• a complementary part when replacing the entire door with a dismantled component.

By maintaining the original mounting specifications, the moulding works well with factory seals and other door components, which translates into stable mounting and a correct body line flow.
