Purpose and fitment

The presented item is a complete rear right door dedicated to the W203 estate body style. The construction is compatible with factory hinge mounting points, locks, and window guides, which facilitates the transfer of components from the previously installed door and maintains the vehicle's original functionality.

The placement on the vehicle, defined as rear, passenger side, ensures proper alignment with the body lines and gaps between body panels. As a result, after correct installation, it is possible to achieve even gaps and proper seal fitment, which reduces noise and the risk of water ingress into the interior.

Color and paint layer

The door is in the Obsidian Black Metallic - 197 color, a popular metallic black used as a factory finish for models of this generation. For many users, this means the possibility of performing repairs with minimal paintwork required – often, only polishing or local paint blending is sufficient instead of a full repaint of the component.

The metallic structure of the paint helps maintain a consistent appearance of the bodywork, and with proper surface preparation, it allows for an aesthetic blend with adjacent body panels. This is a practical solution for accident repairs, dents, or corrosion issues on the original door.

Characteristics of the used component

The door comes from dismantling, which in practice means that these are original components with preserved factory geometry and sheet metal structure. Such parts often fit the body better than aftermarket replacements, which translates into easier installation and less bodywork required.

Choosing a used body component is particularly beneficial for repairs of older vehicles, where a reasonable cost is important while maintaining correct structural rigidity and compatibility with existing sub-assemblies. Original doors from dismantling allow for maintaining the visual and technical consistency of the vehicle on a limited budget.

Application in repairs and upgrades

The rear right door for the W203 estate will work well both for post-collision repairs and for replacing a component due to corrosion, mechanical damage, or deformation. Thanks to the preserved factory construction, it is possible to:

• restore the correct side body line,
• ensure proper closing and operation of the lock,
• maintain acoustic and water tightness in the rear part of the cabin,
• transfer original windows, seals, and interior upholstery.

This solution is particularly useful for body and paint shops as well as users who want to restore the vehicle to full functionality while maintaining a factory-like appearance.

Why choose parts from dismantling

For older models, where the availability of new body components can be limited, used doors represent a reasonable compromise between cost and quality. You receive an original component that retains factory mounting parameters and allows for efficient repair without long waiting times for deliveries.
