Purpose and body fitment

The presented covering panel is designed as a component mounted in the rear section, on the left side, which allows for maintaining the correct geometry of the side bodywork. The construction corresponds to the solutions used in the factory-original Mercedes W245, ensuring the component works seamlessly with the door line, seals, and other body shell components.

Its placement in the rear part of the vehicle on the left side facilitates the use of the panel both for local body repairs and for larger projects involving the replacement of multiple body panels. The appropriately selected dead weight makes it easier to handle the part during fitting and installation.

Color and surface finish

The panel is finished in the Comet Grey Metallic shade, allowing for a consistent match with bodywork painted in the same color. The metallic structure of the paint provides the depth characteristic of this color and an even distribution of light reflections on the surface of the component.

Such a finish is particularly beneficial for repairs where the goal is to minimize the scope of repainting – in many cases, proper preparation and polishing are sufficient for the panel to blend harmoniously into the existing side bodywork.

Functional characteristics of the component

As a body part from the Doors and door panels group, the panel serves both protective and aesthetic functions, shielding critical areas of the door and sill structure from external factors. The properly shaped surface promotes the correct drainage of water and contaminants, which is important for the long-term operation of the vehicle.

• stable mounting in the rear part of the body on the left side,
• preservation of the factory side line of the Mercedes W245,
• suitable for use in both local and comprehensive repairs,
• surface prepared for further paint processing if required.

Condition and service application

The item is in used condition, making it a practical choice for service repairs where reasonable cost is important while maintaining original geometry and compatibility with the body. This type of covering panel will prove useful both in body and paint shops and for individual renovation projects where matching factory mounting points is essential.

The appropriate weight of the part facilitates its transport, positioning on the vehicle, and assembly work, which is significant when precisely setting the gaps between body panels.
