Purpose and fitment

The described trunk lid is dedicated to the rear body section of the Mercedes B-Class W245 generation. Its placement in the rear zone allows for the direct replacement of a damaged component without the need for body structure modifications. Its original origin ensures proper geometry, preservation of body lines, and correct fitment with the bumper, lights, and seals.

Color and paint layer

The component is finished in the Mountain Grey Metallic – 787 shade, which belongs to the Mercedes metallic paint palette. This type of coating effectively masks minor operational dirt and highlights the characteristic line of the rear body section. For many users, this means the possibility of installation without the need for full repainting, provided the shade matches the rest of the bodywork.

Characteristics of the used component

The trunk lid comes from a used vehicle, which in practice means the preservation of the factory structure and mounting holes. This type of part is particularly valued in post-accident repairs because it:

• enables the restoration of factory gaps and body lines,
• limits the scope of bodywork to the necessary minimum,
• facilitates the fitting of accessories, such as hinges or locks, in accordance with the original design.

Benefits of using an original trunk lid

Using an original trunk lid for the Mercedes W245 allows you to maintain the structural and visual consistency of the vehicle. Factory fitment translates into proper closing, luggage compartment tightness, and the correct operation of associated components. This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs where both aesthetics and the durability of bodywork connections are important.
