Purpose and fitment

The presented front right door is structurally prepared for installation in the Mercedes W209 body at the factory mounting point. The vehicle placement, defined as front – right side, ensures compatibility with the original architecture of the pillars, hinges, and lock, which facilitates the correct alignment of body gaps and surfaces.

The component comes from a Mercedes vehicle, ensuring dimensional compliance with factory mounting points and the side line characteristic of this model. The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which allows for precise verification of compatibility with a specific body trim version.

Color and paint layer

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, a characteristic metallic black used in higher-class Mercedes models. The use of the original paint shade facilitates visual matching to the existing body coating, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and restorations of vehicles from the youngtimer segment.

The metallic structure of the paint helps to achieve a consistent optical effect with the remaining body panels, and the properly prepared door surface provides a solid base both for keeping it in the current color and for potential repainting according to an individual project.

Structural characteristics

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, which means it performs a key load-bearing function in the side part of the body – it is responsible for the proper guidance of the window, cooperation with seals, and stable closing on the factory lock. The panel structure has been designed to carry operational loads and maintain the appropriate lateral stiffness of the body.

The properly selected weight of the component helps to maintain the factory weight distribution in the vehicle, which is important for the operation of the hinges, closing comfort, and the durability of the mounts. Thanks to this, the door can operate smoothly after proper installation, without excessive stress in the sill and pillar zones.

Condition and use in repairs

The offered component is in used condition, which makes it a practical choice for economic repairs, restorations, and Mercedes W209 vehicle rebuild projects. A used body part allows for cost reduction compared to new panels, while maintaining original geometry and compatibility with factory sub-assemblies.

The front right door in this version will work well both for local post-collision repairs and for complex rebuilding of the side part of the body, where it is important to maintain the consistency of the body line and proper fitment with the fender, sill, and hood.
