Purpose and function of the component

The fuel filler flap in Mercedes C117 models is responsible for covering the fuel filler neck and visually completing the line of the rear fender. A correctly selected component ensures:

• a consistent body surface line in the rear part of the vehicle,
• protection of the fuel filler area from external dirt,
• stable seating relative to the hinge and opening mechanism.

By using an original flap from the same body series, the correct mounting gaps and edge geometry relative to adjacent panels are maintained.

Jupiter Red - 589 color and visual matching

The factory Jupiter Red - 589 paint is a characteristic, intense shade of red used in Mercedes C117 models. Using a component in the same color code often allows for avoiding a full repaint, which shortens repair time and reduces service costs. This is particularly beneficial when:

• replacing a damaged or scratched flap after a minor collision,
• restoring color consistency after previous body and paint repairs,
• precisely matching the shade to the vehicle's existing paint coating.

The original color on the component also facilitates the work of a painter if blending or local coating correction is required.

Installation characteristics and the rear zone of the vehicle

The flap is designed for installation in the rear part of the body, in the fuel filler area. The design, based on Mercedes factory solutions, allows for:

• the use of standard mounting points within the rear fender,
• compatibility with the original hinge and opening mechanism,
• maintaining the correct bending radius and shape relative to the body line.

As a result, the component can be used both for standard replacement and for more extensive bodywork in the rear of the vehicle, where maintaining factory geometry is crucial.

Used condition and service application

The offered fuel filler flap is in used condition, making it a practical solution for post-accident repairs, renovations, and service cost optimization. A used original component often provides a better fit than aftermarket replacements, especially in the area of:

• alignment with factory body elements,
• shape compatibility with the fender and bumper line,
• maintaining the vehicle's original visual characteristics.
