Purpose and body fitment

The presented side skirt has been designed as a side body zone component for AMG versions, intended for installation on the left side of the vehicle. Thanks to its factory-spec geometry and precise profile, it ensures proper adhesion to the sill and adjacent panels, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of body stress. The accurate shape ensures a stable fit and maintains the vehicle's original side profile.

Elbaite Green Metallic finish

The Elbaite Green Metallic – 175 color is a distinctive metallic shade used in selected Mercedes configurations, particularly valued when combined with AMG styling packages. Using this color on the side skirt allows for:

• maintaining color consistency with other body components,
• aesthetic integration of the side skirt into the vehicle's side line,
• reducing the need for additional painting when matching the factory color.

The metallic paint structure works well with the creases characteristic of AMG versions, emphasizing the car's dynamic character.

Operational characteristics and installation

The side skirt from this series has been prepared as a body component intended for re-installation on a vehicle. The design, based on the factory blueprint, allows for the use of standard mounting points provided by the manufacturer, which facilitates workshop work and shortens repair time. The used nature of the part makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining original specifications and compatibility with factory sill elements.

For optimal visual effect and durability, installation in a workshop environment is recommended, with a check of the sill substrate condition and proper preparation of contact surfaces. This allows for a stable fit and reduces the risk of looseness during operation.

Application in the AMG sill zone

In vehicles with the AMG package, side skirts serve not only a protective function but also play an important stylistic role, building the side body line and visually lowering the car's silhouette. Using an original side skirt on the left side allows for:

• restoring the vehicle's consistent appearance after mechanical damage or corrosion,
• maintaining the characteristic AMG sill geometry,
• preserving compliance with the factory aerodynamic design in the side body area.

As a result, this component is a practical solution both for post-accident repairs and for visual refreshing of the car as part of body and paint work.
