Purpose and fitment

This rear bumper has been designed specifically for the Mercedes B-Class W245 series, taking into account the characteristic body shape and factory mounting points. Its placement at the rear of the vehicle means the component works in conjunction with the original reinforcements, beam, and other collision zone components.

The Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic color (code 748) allows for an aesthetic match to vehicles in the same shade, which reduces the scope of any potential paint work and facilitates a quick replacement of the damaged part.

Technical and structural characteristics

The bumper belongs to the Bumpers and reinforcements group, meaning its construction is prepared to work with factory mounting points and body reinforcement elements. The well-thought-out geometry ensures proper alignment of the side lines and the rear part of the body, as well as a correct fit with the tailgate and rear lighting.

The component has a specific weight, which is important both from the assembly perspective and for maintaining the factory characteristics of the collision zone. This allows the bumper to perform its protective function in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

Color and visual aspect

The Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic finish is a characteristic metallic grey used in the Mercedes range, which highlights the body lines well and is a popular choice in the compact van segment. Using the factory color allows for a consistent vehicle appearance after repair, without the need for full repainting of the entire rear zone.

For users who care about the aesthetics of the bodywork, this means the possibility of restoring the vehicle's attractive appearance after a collision or parking damage, while maintaining the original character of the W245 model.

Condition, origin, and benefits of use

The product is used, which in practice represents a favorable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the original build quality characteristic of the Mercedes brand. For many users, this is a sensible solution for post-accident repairs, where combining correct geometry, factory fitment, and controlled costs is key.

Using an original rear bumper for the W245 model reduces the risk of assembly problems typical of aftermarket replacements, such as inaccurate fitment or the need for additional mounting modifications.

Technical support and additional information

The component has an assigned OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle equipment version. If necessary, these data can be compared with service documentation or information from the manufacturer's catalog to confirm compatibility before installation.
