Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented rear bumper is dedicated to Mercedes W169 series models and is mounted in the rear body area. As a structural element from the Bumpers and reinforcements group, it is responsible for absorbing minor operational loads, maintaining the correct body line, and providing preparation for Parktronic system sensors, if the vehicle is equipped with them.

Its placement in the rear zone ensures compatibility with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications or part adjustments.

Color and paint matching

The bumper is finished in Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic - 748, which allows for precise matching to the vehicle's factory paint in this color specification. The metallic paint coating ensures a visually consistent appearance with the remaining body panels, and with proper preparation and installation, it minimizes the need for additional painting of entire adjacent elements.

For body and paint shops as well as end users, this means the possibility of carrying out repairs in a more predictable way regarding the final result and shade consistency with the rest of the bodywork.

Component characteristics and condition

The offered bumper is an original Mercedes component sourced from the secondary market. The used nature of the part makes it a cost-effective solution while maintaining factory geometry and compatibility with the body. The element is suitable for use both in post-accident repairs and when replacing worn or damaged operational bumpers.

Thanks to the preservation of the original construction, it is possible to use factory mounting points and integrate with existing vehicle equipment, including the Parktronic system, provided the car is equipped with it and appropriate sensors and harnesses are used.

Benefits of using an original rear bumper

• Factory fit – maintaining original body geometry and proper alignment with adjacent panels.
• Color consistency – paint in the Kometgrau Comet Grey Metallic - 748 shade makes it easier to achieve a uniform body surface.
• Preparation for Parktronic system – possibility to mount sensors according to the factory layout.
• Economic solution – a used OEM part provides an alternative to new parts while maintaining high manufacturing quality.
