Technical Characteristics and Purpose

The presented rear bumper with AMG panel cover has been designed specifically for the X253 series, maintaining factory mounting points and the correct aerodynamic profile. Its placement on the vehicle is the rear, meaning the part is responsible for protecting the rear body section and ensuring the proper flow of the car's lines.

As part of the Bumpers and Reinforcements group, this component works with other structural elements of the rear body zone, ensuring proper alignment with the lights, trunk lid, and side panels. This allows for maintaining factory gaps and an aesthetically pleasing, cohesive vehicle appearance.

Brilliant Blue Metallic Paint Finish - 896

The part is finished in the Brilliant Blue Metallic - 896 color, characteristic of many Mercedes X253 configurations with the AMG package. The metallic paint finish emphasizes the dynamic body lines and pairs well with the stylistic details typical of AMG versions.

Choosing a bumper with the same paint code can, in many cases, limit the scope of painting work, which is particularly important for operational repairs. At the same time, color consistency with other body elements is maintained, contributing to the overall appearance of the car.

Benefits of Using an Original AMG Rear Bumper

Using an original AMG rear bumper in Brilliant Blue Metallic offers a number of practical benefits:

• factory fit to the body lines of the X253 series,
• preservation of characteristic AMG styling in the rear of the vehicle,
• compatibility with original mounting points and adjacent elements,
• suitability for use in post-accident repairs and body restoration.

A used bumper allows for economical repair while maintaining the original structure and appearance of the vehicle, which is important for both user comfort and potential resale value.

Part Condition and Service Application

The product is offered as a used body part, making it an attractive solution for service repairs where a combination of functionality and reasonable cost is a priority. Such components are often chosen by workshops specializing in the Mercedes brand and by users who want to restore the vehicle to full operational condition after damage to the rear bodywork.

Due to its factory origin, the bumper maintains the correct geometry and is prepared for installation in the location designated by the manufacturer, which facilitates bodywork and assembly and reduces the time needed for fitting the part.

Part Selection and Additional Information

When selecting a rear bumper for a specific X253 version, it is advisable to pay attention to the equipment configuration and the AMG styling package to ensure full visual and mounting compatibility. Vehicle identification data and information about the applied paint code may be helpful if needed.
