Purpose and fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for Mercedes W245 series models, taking into account factory mounting points and body lines. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle guarantees a proper fit with the trunk lid, lamps, and side elements, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, the bumper works with original reinforcements, brackets, and mounting hardware, which helps maintain the factory rigidity of the rear body section.

Color and paint properties

The element is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic - 191, characteristic of many Mercedes W245 equipment configurations. The metallic paint coating provides color depth and good integration with other body panels in the same shade, which helps limit the scope of any potential paintwork required.

This color selection is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where both correct fitment and visual consistency of the entire rear part of the vehicle are essential.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered bumper belongs to the group of used parts, which allows for significant repair cost savings while maintaining original geometry and compatibility with the body. The used OEM component is a good choice in situations where technical compliance with factory specifications and a rational service budget are the priority.

In the case of body elements such as bumpers and reinforcements, using a used part often enables the restoration of the correct operation of the deformation zone and the preservation of the mounting parameters intended by the manufacturer.

Application in body and paint repairs

The rear bumper in Cosmos Black Metallic - 191 will work well both for standard replacement after a collision and for staged body restoration. Thanks to its factory profile, it facilitates:

• restoring the lines of the rear part of the vehicle without the need to adjust aftermarket replacements,
• correct alignment of gaps between the bumper and the trunk lid and fenders,
• maintaining compatibility with original mounts and reinforcements.

For body and paint workshops, this means a predictable assembly process and a lower risk of problems with fitting the element to the vehicle structure.

Benefits of choosing an original Mercedes bumper

Choosing an original rear bumper for the Mercedes W245 from the Bumpers and reinforcements group primarily ensures dimensional and structural compliance. A properly selected element helps maintain the correct operation of the collision zone, while also allowing for an aesthetic finish of the rear body section in the factory color.
