Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented AMG rear bumper is a body component mounted in the rear area, responsible for absorbing part of the loads during minor collisions and for properly maintaining the body lines. The design, adapted for the C238 series, allows for maintaining proper assembly gaps, which translates into stable mounting and correct cooperation with adjacent body panels, lights, and reinforcements.

The original construction facilitates the preservation of factory mounting points, which simplifies body and paint work and reduces the need for additional modifications. The use of this component is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where dimensional repeatability and compliance with manufacturer documentation are crucial.

Selenite Grey Metallic - 992 paint finish

The factory color Selenite Grey Metallic - 992 is a characteristic, metallic shade of grey used in modern Mercedes models. The metallic paint provides distinct color depth and works well with AMG body lines, highlighting the contours and the sporty character of the rear part of the vehicle. For workshops, this means the possibility of limiting the scope of painting solely to potential touch-ups, and for the user – a visually consistent effect after repair.

A properly selected color from the manufacturer's palette also facilitates the subsequent matching of adjacent body elements, which is important during gradual vehicle renovation or the replacement of several panels at different times.

Performance parameters and assembly

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, which means it has been designed to work with factory reinforcement elements and mounting systems in the rear body section. The design intended for a specific model minimizes the risk of fitment issues and also facilitates assembly in workshop conditions.

The element has a specific weight, which is important both from a logistics point of view and for work on the vehicle – it enables safe maneuvering of the bumper during trial fitting and final assembly. The used nature of the part allows for economical repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specification, which is especially beneficial for more extensive body repairs.

Benefits of using an original AMG rear bumper

Using an original AMG rear bumper in the C238 model provides several significant technical and functional benefits:

• preservation of the factory body line and characteristic AMG styling,
• color consistency with the manufacturer's palette thanks to the Selenite Grey Metallic - 992 paint,
• compatibility with factory mounting points and reinforcements,
• possibility of effective post-accident repair without the need to use universal solutions.

For users, this means an aesthetically and technically correct reconstruction of the rear part of the vehicle, and for workshops – a predictable assembly process and a lower risk of needing additional corrections.

Fitment, condition, and additional information

The element comes from the Mercedes brand, which guarantees compliance with factory quality and construction standards. As a used part, it represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original vehicle specification, especially in the case of models with the AMG package, where styling is significant for the car's value.
