Purpose and fitment

The presented door is dedicated to the Mercedes SLK R172 generation model and is mounted in the front, left-hand position. The construction is based on factory mounting points for hinges, the lock, and seals, which promotes the maintenance of the correct body line and proper closing. Thanks to this, the component can be used both for post-accident repairs and for replacing worn or corroded panels.

Obsidian Black Metallic paint finish

The Obsidian Black Metallic color is a characteristic, dark metallic paint from the Mercedes range, valued for its understated yet elegant appearance. Applying this shade over the entire surface of the door allows for limiting the scope of any potential blending and facilitates the painter's work in matching it to the remaining body components. The metallic structure of the coating harmonizes well with the roadster's body line, emphasizing its dynamic character.

Technical characteristics of the body component

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, which means it performs a key structural function in the side part of the body – it is responsible for proper window guidance, cooperation with cabin sealing, and stable mounting of the lock and hinges. The original geometry of the panel promotes the maintenance of appropriate gaps between body components, which is important both for aesthetics and for reducing wind noise while driving.

Condition and service application

The component is in used condition, which allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original construction. This type of door will prove useful in body and paint shops, workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand, and for individual users who are looking for a factory body panel as a base for further renovation work or reconstruction after a collision.
