Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented item is a complete front left door designed for installation in the side zone of the body, on the driver's side. The placement on the vehicle, defined as front – left side, means that the part is structurally adapted to the factory hinges, lock, and window guides in the W164 body, which facilitates proper alignment with the fender, rocker panel, and A-pillar.

Obsidian Black Metallic paint finish

The door is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic, marked with paint code 197, characteristic of many Mercedes W164 equipment configurations. The metallic paint coating provides a deep black with a subtle pearlescent effect, which allows for a visually consistent match with the remaining body panels and limits the scope of necessary paint work after installation.

Technical characteristics and installation

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is a structural element of the side body, responsible for both aesthetics and the proper operation of the window, as well as interaction with seals and the lock. The OEM construction ensures:

• correct edge geometry in relation to adjacent body panels,
• factory mounting points for hinges and the door check,
• adaptation for the installation of original seals, lock, and window mechanism.

The properly selected weight of the door promotes the correct operation of the hinges and closing comfort, which is important for the durability of the entire door assembly.

Condition and use in body repairs

The item is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical vehicle repair while maintaining the original body structure. This type of door is particularly suitable for post-accident repairs, correcting corrosion damage, or replacing deformed panels when the priority is to maintain factory body lines and compatibility with interior equipment.

Compatibility and reference numbers

The door has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific equipment version and vehicle year. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing the markings with service documentation or the part number of the item removed from the car to confirm full compatibility with your specific Mercedes W164.
