Design and fit for Mercedes W203 / C209
Designed specifically for the Mercedes C-Class W203 and C209 coupe, the mirror precisely fits the headliner and factory mount. The body's shape and reflective surface profile facilitate quick field-of-view adjustment, supporting safe observation of the area behind the vehicle.
The neutral, subdued color scheme of the mirror interior blends well with typical cabin configurations in these models, and the original origins help maintain a uniform cockpit appearance without the effect of "adding" from another car.
Performance parameters and ergonomics
The interior rearview mirror is responsible for monitoring the space behind the vehicle, so mounting stability and proper mirror geometry are crucial. The design ensures:
- clear field of view in the central part of the rear window,
- ergonomic position relative to the driver's seat,
- easy angle adjustment with one hand movement.
The black housing reduces light reflections and edge reflections, which improves driving comfort at night and in intense daylight.
Colors and integration with the interior
The combination of a gray surface visible from the cabin and a black technical section creates a universal color scheme that harmonizes well with the fabric and leather upholstery in typical Mercedes W203 and C209 configurations. This allows the mirror not to dominate the visual appearance, but to blend harmoniously with the lines of the dashboard and headliner.
Used condition - practical benefits
The item offered is in used condition, which represents a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining original build quality . In practice, this means:
- factory fit for mounting in a given model,
- maintaining the original geometry and adjustment functions,
- the possibility of economical repair or replacement of a damaged mirror.
This solution is particularly beneficial when restoring a car to its pre-collision condition or replacing a worn-out component, without having to invest in a new replacement of uncertain quality.
Use and selection of the right mirror
Before purchasing, it's worth verifying the compatibility of the mount and your vehicle's equipment version to ensure trouble-free installation and proper operation. If in doubt, it's helpful to compare the shape and mounting method with the mirror currently installed in your car.
