Purpose and fitment for Mercedes W221

The presented wing mirror has been designed specifically for the S-Class W221 generation, taking into account the body geometry and visibility characteristics of this model. The placement on the right side of the vehicle guarantees the correct field of view and compatibility with factory mounting points in the door.

As a component from the Wing Mirrors group for the Mercedes brand, the part is structurally adapted to the vehicle's standard electrical installations, which facilitates integration with factory comfort and safety systems.

Functionality: auto dip and ergonomics of use

A key feature of this mirror is the auto dip function, which automatically tilts the glass when reverse gear is engaged. This solution allows for better control of the distance from the curb, reduces the risk of rim damage, and facilitates precise parallel parking.

The properly selected curvature of the mirror and the factory setting of the rotation axis ensure a clear image in the blind spot area, while maintaining comfortable ergonomics for the driver. The mirror works with factory seat settings and memory settings, if the vehicle is equipped with them.

Finish: high gloss Obsidian Black Metallic 197

The mirror housing is painted in Obsidian Black Metallic 197, characteristic of selected S-Class trim levels. The high gloss of the paint emphasizes the side line of the body and blends well with chrome and aluminum styling accents.

The metallic structure of the color ensures consistency with the factory paint, which reduces the need for additional painting when replacing the component in a vehicle with the same color code. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs and visual body corrections.

Condition, construction, and installation advantages

The mirror is a used component, which in practice means a favorable cost-to-quality ratio while maintaining the manufacturer's original design. The factory construction ensures proper fitment with the door, stable mounting, and correct operation of the adjustment mechanisms.

The main advantages of this solution include:

• original geometry matched to the Mercedes W221 body,
• auto dip function increasing comfort and precision of maneuvering,
• paint in Obsidian Black Metallic 197 in high gloss,
• construction intended for the vehicle's standard electrical installation.
