Purpose and Fitment

The presented rear bumper has been specifically designed for the S204 Estate body, guaranteeing a proper fit to the car's lines and correct positioning relative to the tailgate and taillights. Its placement on the rear of the vehicle allows for the restoration of correct crash zone geometry after a collision or operational damage.

Thanks to its construction conforming to factory Mercedes standards, the bumper integrates with the original mounting points, simplifying installation and minimizing the need for additional bodywork modifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for workshops expecting a predictable and repeatable repair process.

Obsidian Black Metallic Paint Finish and Color

The bumper's surface is painted in Obsidian Black Metallic - 197, one of the popular shades used on Mercedes C-Class models. The metallic paint structure provides an aesthetically pleasing visual appearance and consistency with the factory body finish, which is important for both post-accident repairs and vehicle appearance refreshes.

In many cases, the painted finish allows for limiting the scope of painting work to potential spot repairs, thus reducing repair time and costs for the user or workshop. This is a practical solution for body and paint shops aiming to optimize the service process for fleet and private vehicles.

Functional and Installation Characteristics

The rear bumper in the Estate version plays a crucial role in protecting the rear of the vehicle, absorbing the energy of minor parking impacts and safeguarding the structural elements of the body. The design adapted for the S204 allows for proper alignment with moldings, covers, and other rear zone components.

In practice, installation involves utilizing the factory mounting points, which facilitates the work of mechanics and reduces the risk of incorrect bumper alignment relative to the body. The appropriately selected weight of the component contributes to maintaining the correct load distribution in the rear of the vehicle, which is important for the durability of the mountings and driving comfort.

Item Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered bumper is from the secondary market, which is an advantageous solution for users seeking a compromise between quality and repair cost. A used part allows for maintaining the vehicle's original specifications while reducing expenses compared to new body components.

For workshops and body shops, choosing such a part means the ability to quickly restore the vehicle to full functionality while maintaining compliance with Mercedes' original construction standards. This is a practical solution for both accident repairs and the restoration of older S204 models.
