Purpose and body fitment

These doors are designed for installation on the front right side of the body, allowing for the precise replacement of a damaged component without interfering with the structure of other panels. The original skin geometry ensures correct edge alignment with the fender, rocker panel, and pillar, which facilitates gap adjustment and the setting of hinges and locks.

The component comes from a Mercedes vehicle, ensuring compatibility with factory mounting points, stampings, and the styling lines characteristic of the X253 body. This is a particularly beneficial solution for accident repairs, where both correct geometry and aesthetics close to factory condition are essential.

Color and paint finish

The doors are finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, a popular metallic black shade used in many Mercedes models. This paint effectively masks minor dirt and highlights the body lines, while also making color matching easier during local body and paint repairs.

For workshops and users, this means the ability to limit the scope of painting to the necessary minimum, especially when other body parts are in the same shade. The metallic structure of the coating helps achieve a consistent visual effect after proper surface preparation and polishing.

Technical specifications and installation

The doors belong to the Doors and door panels category, meaning they serve as a structural and protective body element responsible for shielding the vehicle interior and working with sealing systems, locks, and windows. The construction intended for front right-side installation ensures compatibility with factory hinges, locks, and window guides specific to the X253 body.

The used nature of the part allows for economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original sheet metal structure. In practice, this translates into:

• preserving factory stampings and edge shapes,
• easier door alignment relative to adjacent body elements,
• the ability to use existing mounting points for door hardware.

Use in repairs and upgrades

The front right door in Obsidian Black Metallic is suitable for both standard replacement of damaged panels and more extensive bodywork involving the reconstruction of the side of the vehicle. Choosing an original component from a Mercedes vehicle reduces the risk of fitment issues typical of aftermarket parts with different geometry.

Selection support and cost optimization

A used body component can be a cost-effective solution, especially when repairing vehicles that are heavily used or have sustained significant damage. Proper selection of the door based on vehicle placement and paint color allows for reduced workshop labor time and fewer additional painting operations.

For those planning broader vehicle modifications or repair budget optimization, it is worth considering the use of verified used parts.
