Purpose and body fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W245, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle allows for maintaining the correct exterior line while providing adequate clearance for the tailgate, taillights, and mounting components.

Thanks to a design consistent with the manufacturer's solutions, the bumper works with factory reinforcements, brackets, and mounting hardware. This is an advantageous solution for post-accident repairs and when replacing worn body parts, where maintaining proper geometry and panel gaps is essential.

Color and paint finish

The component is finished in Polar Silver Metallic - 761, which allows for an aesthetic match to Mercedes W245 vehicles in this shade. The metallic paint coating provides the depth and light reflection characteristic of this color, which positively impacts the visual consistency of the entire body.

The factory shade facilitates the color-matching process for any touch-ups or local repairs, and also limits the scope of paint work compared to unpainted parts. This is a practical solution for body shops and users who expect a faster return of the vehicle to service.

Technical characteristics and installation

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, which means its construction is adapted to work with the load-bearing elements of the rear body section. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear zone promotes proper exterior protection and the correct operation of systems installed in this part of the car, if provided for in the specific vehicle configuration.

The product has a specific weight, which is important both from a logistics point of view and for installation in the vehicle. Appropriately selected mass and structural rigidity parameters allow for maintaining the factory assumptions regarding body performance and driving comfort.

Condition and use in repairs

The offered bumper is a used part, which makes it an attractive solution for the economical repair of the Mercedes W245 body. Such components are often chosen for post-accident repairs when it is crucial to combine correct fitment with a reasonable cost for the entire service operation.

The product will work well both in professional workshops and for individual users who plan to replace a damaged bumper with an original part from the secondary market, while maintaining the visual and structural consistency of the vehicle.

Compatibility and reference numbers

The bumper has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific version of the Mercedes W245. This makes it possible to precisely match the component to the vehicle based on service documentation or parts catalogs.

Information about the brand, condition, and other technical parameters is also available in the product description, allowing for a quick assessment of the bumper's suitability for a given repair or modernization project.
