Purpose and function of the component

The described trim is a component from the Tailgates and rear parts group, mounted in the rear of the vehicle. It is responsible for the aesthetic finish of the tailgate edge while helping to maintain correct body gaps and lines. A properly selected trim facilitates the restoration of the original geometry of the rear body section after body and paint repairs.

Color and visual fit

The Linarite Blue Metallic - 352 color is a distinctive, metallic shade of blue used factory-standard in Mercedes models. Using a trim in the same paint code allows for reducing the scope of additional painting and makes it easier to achieve a consistent visual effect with the remaining body panels. This is particularly important for precise restorations where the consistency of the shade and coating structure matters.

Installation characteristics

The element is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the tailgate area. Thanks to its factory geometry, the trim maintains the correct mounting points and a shape matched to the body lines of the Mercedes SLK R170. This facilitates workshop work, shortens assembly time, and reduces the risk of fitment issues relative to adjacent panels.

Condition and use in repairs

The trim comes from the secondary market, making it an attractive solution for economical repair or reconstruction of the rear body section. A used original component allows for maintaining the vehicle's factory specifications while reducing costs compared to new components. It is a good solution both for workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand and for users independently sourcing body parts.

Support in selection and cost optimization

In the face of rising service costs, it is worth considering the use of verified used parts, especially for body repairs where visual and structural compatibility is key.
