Purpose and fitment for Mercedes SLK R171

The presented mirror has been designed specifically for the Mercedes SLK R171 model and for installation on the left side of the vehicle. The construction, based on the factory design, ensures proper fitment with the door, correct mirror geometry, and compatibility with the factory mounting points and electrical harness in this roadster model.

Color and finish – Tanzanite Blue Metallic 359

The Tanzanite Blue Metallic – 359 paint is a distinctive, deep shade of blue with a metallic effect, often found in Mercedes SLK R171 equipment configurations. Using the original color allows for maintaining visual consistency of the body, reduces the need for additional painting, and facilitates matching the component during post-accident repairs or spot bodywork corrections.

Functionality of the wing mirror

The mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors group and is equipped with a power folding function, which improves vehicle ergonomics in urban conditions, on narrow streets, or in parking lots. The folding mechanism helps reduce the risk of damage while parked, while also making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces, maintaining proper visibility while driving.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the mirror comes from disassembly and provides an economical solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component allows for technically correct body repair without the need to use replacements with uncertain fitment. A used element with preserved Tanzanite Blue Metallic paint can significantly shorten repair time and limit the scope of paintwork.

Integration with the body system and door zone

The mirror intended for installation on the left side works with the factory adjustment and folding system in the Mercedes SLK R171 door. The properly selected housing geometry and mirror angle support the driver's correct field of view, which is important for both driving comfort and safety when changing lanes, reversing, or parking.
