Application and body fitment

The presented boot lid is designed for installation in the rear body zone of the Mercedes E-Class W211 saloon. The OEM construction allows for the use of factory mounting points for hinges, the lock, and actuators, which facilitates bodywork and mechanical tasks and limits the need for additional modifications. The component is designed to work with original seals, license plate lighting, and other rear body components.

Color and paint finish

The lid is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, characteristic of many Mercedes W211 units. The metallic paint coating provides an elegant, deep shade of black with a subtle gloss effect, which blends well with both light and dark exterior styling packages. For many users, this means the possibility of installation without full repainting, limiting the work only to potential spot corrections if required after fitting the component to a specific car.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a body component from the Hoods group, the boot lid performs an important structural and functional role – it is responsible for the tightness of the luggage compartment, proper body line alignment, and secure closing of the vehicle's rear. The appropriately selected weight of the component promotes the correct operation of hinges and actuators, which translates into comfort when opening and closing the lid. A used OEM component also ensures predictable behavior when adjusting gaps and fitting with the fenders and rear bumper.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The boot lid is offered as a used part, which allows for a significant reduction in repair costs compared to a new element from an authorized service center, while maintaining original geometry and build quality. For body and paint shops as well as individual users, this represents a favorable compromise between price and functionality, especially in the case of post-accident repairs or the replacement of corroded panels.
