Technical specifications and fitment

The side skirt has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W204 model family, intended for the right side of the body. The construction corresponds to factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for precise alignment with other side panel components. This ensures the correct geometry of the sill and proper maintenance of the styling lines characteristic of this model.

The Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 color is a popular, elegant shade of metallic black used in Mercedes vehicles, which harmonizes well with other elements painted in the same code. In practice, this limits the scope of additional paint work and makes it easier to achieve a consistent visual effect after replacing the component.

Application in the body sill area

The side skirt serves a protective and aesthetic function in the lower part of the vehicle's side. It is responsible for:

• protecting the sill against minor mechanical damage and road debris,
• organizing the side line of the body and aesthetically closing the lower edge of the doors,
• restoring the factory appearance after body repairs or replacement of damaged parts.

For users who care about the visual consistency of the car, it is important that the component comes from the same construction group as other Side skirts used in this model, which helps maintain a uniform standard of workmanship.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered side skirt is in used condition, meaning it has been dismantled and was previously in operation on a vehicle. Such components are frequently chosen for repairs where maintaining the original geometry and factory mounting method is crucial. In many cases, this allows for cost savings compared to new parts, while maintaining proper fitment to the body.

Choosing an original, used side skirt is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, correcting parking damage, or restoring the car to a state close to factory condition after local paint repairs.
