Purpose and fitment

The presented rear bumper has been designed specifically for the Mercedes W245 model, taking into account the factory body geometry and mounting points. Its placement in the rear zone of the vehicle ensures proper alignment of the body lines while allowing for correct integration with other body components and reinforcements.

Thanks to a design that complies with manufacturer standards, the bumper is a suitable choice for both post-accident repairs and the replacement of worn body parts, where maintaining proper panel gaps and stable mounting is crucial.

Color and paint finish

The component is finished in Kosmos Black Metallic - 191, which allows for an aesthetic match to the factory Mercedes paint in this shade. The metallic structure of the coating provides a characteristic depth of color and harmonizes well with the body lines, limiting the scope of any potential paint work required after installation.

Choosing a bumper in the correct color is not only a matter of aesthetics but also saves time and costs associated with surface preparation and repainting the entire element.

Technical and functional characteristics

As a component from the Bumpers and reinforcements category, the rear bumper serves a protective and structural function in the rear of the vehicle. Its shape is tailored to the W245 bodywork, allowing for proper load distribution in the impact zone and correct interaction with internal reinforcements and mounts.

The used nature of the part means that the element comes from disassembly, which in practice allows for maintaining the original geometry and fit typical of factory components. For many users, this is a beneficial solution that combines adherence to manufacturer standards with a rational level of body repair costs.

Use in repairs and upgrades

The rear bumper in Kosmos Black Metallic - 191 will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged part and for broader work related to refreshing the rear of the body. Choosing an original component for a Mercedes reduces the risk of installation problems, such as shape mismatch or the need for mounting modifications.
