Characteristics and purpose

The presented Mercedes GL X166 Rear Spoiler Boot Tailgate Wing Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 is a body component designed specifically for installation at the rear of the vehicle. As part of the Tailgates and rear parts group, it works structurally with the tailgate, trim, and lighting, creating a cohesive rear assembly. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for proper alignment of the roof and window lines, as well as maintaining the factory geometry of the tailgate edge.

Appearance and color matching

The spoiler is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, a popular metallic black shade used in higher-class Mercedes models. As a result, the component blends harmoniously with body paint in the same color code, which reduces the need for additional painting when matching it to a car of the same color. The metallic coating provides a consistent gloss with the other body panels, which is particularly important in a large SUV where shade differences are easily noticeable.

Original origin and technical parameters

The offered component comes from the Mercedes brand, which means compliance with the manufacturer's factory design and assembly standards. The spoiler belongs to the Tailgates and rear parts group, making it structurally matched to the GL X166 tailgate in terms of shape, mounting points, and edge alignment. The product has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year in the manufacturer's catalogs or parts selection systems.

Condition, functionality, and application

The item is offered as used, which allows for an economical replacement of a damaged or missing spoiler while maintaining the original specification. This choice is particularly beneficial for accident repairs, body restoration, or returning the car to a factory-like state after modifications. The placement on the vehicle at the rear, marked in the technical data as Rear, clearly defines the mounting purpose and minimizes the risk of error when selecting the component.

Integration with other tailgate elements

The spoiler works with the tailgate structure, rear window, and other elements from the Tailgates and rear parts group, such as decorative trims or additional covers. Thanks to the factory profile, proper water drainage from the top of the tailgate and correct airflow in the rear section of the body are maintained. This solution is particularly important in tall SUV-type vehicles, where the geometry of the rear section affects both user comfort and stability at higher speeds.
