Purpose and body fitment

The presented door is designed as a component mounted on the front right side of the vehicle, ensuring proper fitment to the body lines and factory mounting points on the Mercedes W205 class. The construction is based on standard factory solutions, ensuring maintained gap geometry, correct alignment with the fender, sill, and pillar, as well as compatibility with factory hinges and locks.

The original structural frame of the door provides appropriate lateral rigidity and works in conjunction with factory crumple zones, which is important for both safety and proper closing and seal performance.

Color and paint finish

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, one of the popular shades used in premium Mercedes models. The metallic paint coating provides a characteristic depth of black with a subtle reflection effect in daylight and artificial light, making it easier to visually match with other body components of the same color.

For body and paint shops, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of painting to potential touch-ups, rather than full color reproduction from scratch. In practice, this shortens repair time and makes it easier to maintain a consistent appearance of the entire side of the vehicle.

Technical characteristics and installation

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is a structural and skin component responsible for side protection, cabin sealing, and proper guidance of windows and seals. The vehicle placement specified as front – right side allows for unambiguous identification of the installation side and avoids errors when selecting parts.

The element has a specific weight that complies with the factory specification for this type of door, which is important for hinge operation, closing force, and mount durability. As a result, after correct installation, a stable position of the door wing can be achieved without excessive load on the body structure.

Use in repairs and restorations

Due to its nature, the front right door in Obsidian Black Metallic is suitable for both accident repairs and the restoration of vehicles that have suffered from corrosion or mechanical damage to the skin. Using this component allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to new parts, while maintaining factory geometry and compatibility with other body components.

In practice, this means the possibility of restoring the correct side line, proper closing, and cabin sealing without the need to interfere with the structure of pillars or sills. This is a particularly beneficial solution for workshops specializing in premium vehicle repairs, where both the economic aspect and technical correctness of the execution are important.
