Purpose and fitment

The presented handle is part of the Door handles group and has been designed specifically for installation on the front right door of the Mercedes SLK R171. The placement on the vehicle is precisely defined, which facilitates part selection during body repairs and minimizes the risk of errors when ordering.

The Tellurium Silver Metallic color allows for an aesthetic match to the factory body paint in this shade, which limits the need for additional painting or reduces it to a minimum. As a result, replacing a damaged handle can be carried out efficiently while maintaining the vehicle's consistent stylistic line.

Technical and functional characteristics

The handle's construction complies with Mercedes factory standards, which translates into proper cooperation with the lock mechanism and comfortable door operation. The properly profiled grip ensures a comfortable hold, and the mounting geometry allows for installation in place of the original element without the need for modifications.

The item has assigned part numbers and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration. This is particularly important when selecting body parts, where differences between equipment versions can affect the shape and mounting method.

Condition and service application

The handle is offered as a used part, which is a cost-effective solution while maintaining the manufacturer's original specification. Such components are frequently used in professional body and paint shops as well as by users servicing their own vehicles, where the priority is compliance with the factory design and a reasonable repair budget.

Replacing a door handle is a typical service operation performed in case of mechanical damage, signs of a collision, or operational wear. Using an original component allows for maintaining proper fitment with the door panel and correct operation of the opening mechanism.

• Color consistency with Tellurium Silver Metallic paint, facilitating aesthetic repair.
