Purpose and body fitment

The presented handle is designed for installation on the front right door of Mercedes compact class vehicles, series W169 and W245. The component's construction complies with the manufacturer's factory standards, allowing for the preservation of body lines, proper alignment with the door panel, and correct operation of the grip mechanism.

As part of the Door handles category, it is responsible for the ergonomic opening of the exterior doors while serving as a visible element of the side body trim. Using an original solution reduces the risk of issues with door closing, looseness, or unnatural handle operation.

Color and finish – Tropical Black Metallic

The handle is finished in the Tropical Black Metallic shade, allowing for an aesthetic match to body paint in the same color code. The metallic black provides a subdued, elegant look that complements both light and dark styling accents of the vehicle.

For users who want to maintain the original character of the car, using a handle in the correct color eliminates the need for additional painting and makes it easier to maintain a consistent aesthetic across the entire side of the vehicle.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered handle is a used component, which means it has been removed from a vehicle and may show signs of normal wear typical for body parts. This type of part is a good choice for post-accident repairs, minor visual corrections, or replacing a damaged handle without the need to invest in a new set.

Choosing an original, used handle allows you to maintain factory geometry while optimizing service costs, which is important for the ongoing maintenance of older Mercedes generations.

Benefits of using an original door handle

• Factory fitment for the front right door in Mercedes W169/W245 series vehicles.
• Color consistency thanks to the Tropical Black Metallic paint, reducing the need for additional paint work.
