Purpose and fitment

The presented boot lid has been designed specifically for the rear body section of the C-series coupé from the Mercedes C238 family. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for maintaining the factory body geometry, correct alignment of body lines, and proper closing of the luggage compartment.

The original Mercedes origin means compatibility with factory mounting points, appropriate structural rigidity, and compatibility with other rear assembly components, such as hinges, locks, or seals (sold separately).

Color and paint layer

The lid is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, a popular metallic black from the manufacturer's offer. The use of the original shade facilitates matching with the vehicle's existing paintwork, minimizing the scope of any potential paint jobs or allowing for their precise planning.

The metallic structure of the paint provides a characteristic depth of black and aesthetic light refraction on the body surface, which is particularly important in premium class models where a consistent, elegant look of the entire body is essential.

Structural characteristics

The lid belongs to the Boot lids and rear panels group, which means it serves both a protective and structural function in the rear part of the body. The construction is prepared to withstand the loads associated with daily opening and closing, as well as the operation of lock mechanisms and actuators (mounted separately).

The appropriately selected weight of the component promotes stable operation of the hinges and lifting mechanism, while also contributing to the proper balance of the rear of the vehicle. This ensures the performance parameters intended by the manufacturer are maintained, including the convenience of operating the boot lid.

Condition and service application

The item is offered as a used part, making it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, bodywork corrections, or replacing a damaged boot lid. Choosing an original lid from dismantling allows for maintaining the factory body specification while optimizing repair costs compared to purchasing a new component.

The product is suitable for both professional body and paint shops and workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand, where precise fit, repeatability of assembly, and the ability to quickly replace a damaged element with a part compliant with factory standards are essential.
