Mercedes W176 Door Front Right O/S South Seas Blue in South Seas Blue Metallic is an original body component from the Doors and door panels category, designed for precise installation at factory mounting points. This used component ensures the vehicle's safety structure is maintained, as well as visual consistency with the body line, which is particularly important for post-accident repairs and professional restorations. It is a solution for users expecting factory fitment and compliance with the manufacturer's technology.

Purpose and body fitment

The offered item is a complete door shell designed for installation on the front right side of the body in the Mercedes A-Class W176 generation. The construction is based on the manufacturer's original geometry, which allows for maintaining:

• the correct line of creases and gaps between body elements,
• proper positioning relative to the fender, rocker panel, and pillar,
• compatibility with factory hinges, locks, and seals.

As a result, the door can be integrated into the existing body structure without the need for interference with the vehicle's load-bearing structure, which is important both for safety and for the subsequent calibration of adjacent elements.

South Seas Blue Metallic color – benefits for repair

The factory South Seas Blue Metallic paint with code 162 allows for a significant reduction in the scope of paintwork required when repairing the side of the body. In many cases, correction and polishing are sufficient to achieve a consistent visual effect with the rest of the bodywork, which:

• reduces vehicle downtime in the workshop,
• limits the costs of full painting of the component,
• makes it easier to preserve the original coating on a larger part of the body.

The metallic structure of the paint is particularly important for color matching – using an originally painted door minimizes the risk of color differences visible in daylight.

Technical characteristics and installation

The door belongs to the Doors and door panels group, meaning it is designed as a structural and shielding element of the body. The component has a specific weight that complies with the manufacturer's specifications for this reference, ensuring that:

• the load distribution of the hinges and pillar does not change,
• the correct operation of the lock and door check is maintained,
• there is no excessive load on adjustment elements.

The used nature of the part allows for the reuse of the original structure, which is beneficial both economically and in terms of compliance with factory side-impact safety parameters.

Use of the used part in service and repairs

Choosing a used front right door for a Mercedes W176 is a rational solution for body shops and individual users who want to combine cost control with maintaining manufacturer standards. This type of element is particularly effective in situations involving:

• repairs after a side collision with damage to the door shell,
• correction of corrosion or previous improper body repairs,
• restoring the vehicle to a state close to factory condition after modifications.

The original door construction supports proper cooperation with the window, seals, and equipment installation, which facilitates assembly and subsequent operation without additional adjustments.

Environmental and economic aspect

Using a used body component aligns with the principles of the circular economy – it reduces the consumption of raw materials and energy needed to produce a new part, while also allowing for a reduction in the total cost of vehicle repair.
