Purpose and body fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the W211 series models, ensuring it maintains the correct geometry, mounting points, and characteristic body contours. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle means this component is responsible for both aesthetics and absorbing some of the impact during minor parking collisions.

The original construction from the Bumpers and reinforcements group facilitates installation into factory mounting points, without the need for modifications or fitting aftermarket parts of uncertain specifications.

Color and finish Melanite Black Metallic 185

The bumper is finished in Melanite Black Metallic - 185, characteristic of many Mercedes W211 equipment configurations. The metallic paint coating ensures consistency with the factory body paint, which limits the scope of any potential paintwork and facilitates visual matching after installation.

Selecting the correct shade is important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for practical ones – a correctly matched color minimizes tonal differences between body panels, which is particularly crucial during post-accident repairs and visual restorations.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used component, the rear bumper retains its factory construction and geometry, which translates into proper alignment with the fenders, trunk lid, and other components of the rear body section. This type of component is a good solution for repairs where combining reasonable costs with maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications is key.

Choosing an original, used bumper allows for reducing the risk of installation problems typical of some aftermarket replacements, such as inaccurate contours, different mounting points, or differences in edge shapes.

Benefits of using an original rear bumper

• Factory fitment – maintaining the original body line and correct gaps between elements.
• Color consistency – the Melanite Black Metallic paint makes it easier to achieve a uniform look for the rear of the vehicle.
• Time savings during installation – construction compliant with factory mounting points.
• Reasonable cost-to-quality compromise – used OEM component as an alternative to new parts.
