Purpose and vehicle fitment

The presented housing is designed for the left side of the vehicle, which is crucial for proper installation and mirror geometry. The shell construction complies with the factory Mercedes standard for the W205 model, ensuring that the correct mounting points, body lines, and characteristic aerodynamic shape are maintained.

As an item from the Mirror parts group, this part works with the original mirror frame, glass, and turn signal, allowing for the restoration of the side mirror's full functionality and aesthetics after a collision or mechanical damage.

Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 paint finish

The housing is factory-painted in the Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 shade, one of the popular colors used on premium Mercedes vehicles. The metallic coating provides the characteristic depth of black and an impressive light refraction on the mirror's contours, which emphasizes the side line of the body.

Thanks to the ready-to-use paint in the correct color code, additional painting processes can be avoided, which shortens repair time and reduces the risk of shade differences between the mirror and other body components.

Technical characteristics and installation

The mirror housing has been designed as a replacement part, compatible with the factory mirror mechanism in the Mercedes W205. The shell construction allows for:

• proper fitment with the mirror base and turn signal,
• maintaining the original aerodynamics of the side body section,
• stable mounting without the need for structural modifications.

As a used part, this item is suitable for users looking for a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original Mercedes specification and correct fitment to the existing mirror assembly.

Practical application and benefits of replacement

Replacing a damaged mirror housing with an original component in Obsidian Black Metallic allows you to:

• restore the aesthetics of the side body section after a scrape or collision,
• minimize wind noise resulting from cracks or shell deformation,
• maintain a consistent vehicle appearance without the need for painting aftermarket replacements.

For workshops and service centers specializing in the Mercedes brand, using original Mirror parts facilitates the repair process, limits the risk of installation issues, and allows for maintaining the finish standard expected by users of premium class cars.
