Technical characteristics and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W176 series, intended for the left side of the vehicle. The design features power folding, which facilitates maneuvering and parking in tight spaces, and also reduces the risk of damage when parked on the street.

The driver's side positioning ensures the correct field of view and compatibility with the vehicle's factory settings. Thanks to the preservation of the original shape and mounting points, the mirror allows for installation in place of a damaged element without the need for bodywork modifications or bracket adaptations.

South Seas Blue Metallic - 162 paint finish

A significant advantage of this mirror is its factory finish in South Seas Blue Metallic - 162, characteristic of selected Mercedes W176 body configurations. The metallic shade ensures visual consistency with the vehicle's side line, minimizing the need for additional painting when replacing the component.

The metallic paint coating has been selected for compatibility with the manufacturer's original color palette, which facilitates maintaining a uniform appearance of the bodywork after repair. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs, where both functionality and aesthetics are crucial.

Functionality of the Mercedes W176 wing mirror

The power-folding mirror on the driver's side improves the daily ergonomics of using the vehicle. The ability to fold the housing from inside the car limits the element's protrusion beyond the body contour, which is beneficial during parallel parking and in narrow garages.

The original mirror construction is prepared to work with the factory electrical installations in the Mercedes W176, which promotes the maintenance of full functionality after proper installation. The used component allows for an economical repair while maintaining the vehicle's equipment standard.

Condition, purpose, and application

The item comes from the used parts segment, which makes it a reasonable choice for maintenance and post-accident repairs when the priority is combining functionality with cost control. The left wing mirror for Mercedes W176 will work well both as a replacement for a damaged element and when completing missing body components on the driver's side.

Selecting an original mirror with the correct placement and color reduces the risk of installation problems and visual differences, which is important for maintaining the vehicle's value and its consistent appearance.
