Construction, colors and visual matching
The black mirror housing allows for aesthetic integration of the element into the bodywork. This color is universal and often chosen when replacing exterior parts, as it effectively conceals minor signs of wear and tear and facilitates any subsequent finishing work.
As an original part, the mirror retains the correct proportions, shape, and mounting method characteristic of the CLK C209 series. This ensures that after installation, the vehicle retains its factory appearance, without any differences in geometry or spacing between body parts.
Condition, origin and benefits of choosing a used part
The rearview mirror offered is in used condition, meaning it has been dismantled from a vehicle and shows signs of normal wear and tear. This type of component is an attractive alternative to new replacements, as it retains the original manufacturer's specifications while reducing the cost of repair or bodywork reconstruction.
Choosing a used OEM part is especially beneficial when you want to:
- maintaining the factory fit and assembly geometry,
- visual consistency with other body elements,
- reducing service costs while maintaining appropriate quality.
