Technical specifications of the Mercedes W251 Wing Mirror Door Right O/S Outside Power Fold Obsidian Black 197

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is intended for installation on the right side of the vehicle. The electric folding design allows for convenient folding of the mirror from inside the car, which facilitates maneuvering in tight spaces and reduces the risk of accidental damage during parking.

The housing is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, which maintains consistency with the factory Mercedes paint palette and makes it easy to match the bodywork without the need for additional painting in many equipment configurations.

Function and application in the Mercedes W251 body

The wing mirror plays a key role in monitoring the side and rear zones of the vehicle, directly affecting driving safety. In the version designed for the right side of the Mercedes W251 body, it provides:

• a stable field of view in the passenger side blind spot,
• correct geometry of the setting relative to the bodywork,
• preservation of the factory styling line of the side of the vehicle.

Thanks to the original design, the mirror works with the factory mounting points in the door, which facilitates installation and limits the need for additional modifications.

Obsidian Black Metallic color – visual matching

The Obsidian Black Metallic finish is characteristic of many Mercedes equipment configurations and allows for an aesthetic replacement of the element after a collision or operational damage. The metallic structure of the paint ensures consistency with the factory body finish, which is particularly important for repairs performed on premium class vehicles.

In the case of post-accident repairs, using a mirror in the same color limits the scope of paint work, which translates into shorter vehicle downtime in the workshop and a more predictable final result.

Used condition and benefits of using an original part

The component is offered in a used condition, which allows for lower repair costs while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. In practice, this means:

• factory fitment to the Mercedes W251 body,
• preservation of the original mounting geometry and housing shape,
• possibility of installation as a replacement for a damaged mirror without interfering with the door structure.

For workshops and individual users, choosing an original used mirror is often an optimal compromise between cost and compliance with the vehicle's factory standards.
