This metallic black shade is characteristic of premium class models and allows for an aesthetic match to a vehicle of the same color without the immediate need for repainting the entire surface. For users planning a full paint restoration, the panel provides a stable base for preparation and repainting in accordance with the manufacturer's technology.

As an original Mercedes body part, the boot trunk lid panel maintains factory geometry, which facilitates the adjustment of gaps and alignment with the fenders, bumper, and rear window. The construction is designed for installation in the rear zone of the vehicle, using standard mounting points for hinges, actuators, and other hardware. This allows for the restoration of the original rigidity and functionality of the rear body section after bodywork repairs.

The used condition of the component allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. The panel can be used both for local post-collision repairs and for comprehensive rebuilding of the rear body section, where maintaining proper geometry and compatibility with factory components is crucial.

Practical application and benefits of installation

• the rear lid has been damaged as a result of a collision or impact,
• the original panel shows significant signs of corrosion or deformation,
• it is necessary to replace the component to restore proper closing and sealing of the trunk,
