Thanks to its precise profile, it ensures the correct alignment of the body lines while providing protection against typical operational damage, such as minor impacts or dirt in the sill area.

Color and visual fit

The Tellurium Silver Metallic - 762 color is a distinctive metallic shade of silver used in Mercedes models, which allows for a consistent match with the factory body paint. The metallic structure of the paint provides an attractive light effect, and the precisely selected shade facilitates the integration of the cover with the remaining body panels without the need for visual compromises.
