Purpose and fitment

These doors are designed for installation on the front left side of the body, ensuring a proper fit with the fender, rocker panel, and A-pillar of the CL203 coupe body. The construction is based on the original Mercedes design, ensuring appropriate side rigidity, correct window operation, and compatibility with original hinges, locks, and hardware.

Color and paint finish

The doors are finished in Obsidian Black Metallic – 197, a popular metallic black used on many Mercedes C-Class vehicles. Using the original shade makes it easier to match the vehicle's existing paintwork, often limiting the need for a full repaint to minor corrections and polishing, which translates into savings in time and service costs.

Technical characteristics of the component

As a part from the Doors and door panels category, the panel serves as a load-bearing structure for the window, lifting mechanism, lock, seals, and interior upholstery. The precise edge geometry ensures:

• proper sealing against weatherstripping and reduction of wind noise,
• correct alignment of the lock and latch relative to the B-pillar,
• stable window movement within the guides,
• maintenance of factory gaps between body panels.

The original Mercedes construction allows for the use of standard mounting points and factory assembly accessories, which facilitates bodywork and mechanical repairs.

Condition, origin, and benefits of choosing a used component

The doors are sourced from dismantling and are offered as a used component, providing a cost-effective alternative to new body panels. Choosing an original, used door panel allows you to maintain factory material quality while significantly reducing expenses related to repairing the side of the body. This solution is particularly attractive for post-accident repairs and the restoration of older CL203 models.

• achieve a visually consistent match with other panels in Obsidian Black Metallic.
