Technical Characteristics and Fitment

The presented fuel filler flap is an original part, specifically designed for the Mercedes-Benz W169 A-Class body. The flap's construction is prepared for integration with the factory hinge and opening mechanism, which simplifies installation and preserves the original body geometry around the fuel filler area.

The Atoll Blue Metallic - 375 color matches the factory body paint, meaning that after replacing the flap, you can achieve a uniform paint surface without the need for additional painting of the entire wheel arch or fender area, provided the surrounding panels are in the same shade.

Function in the Fuel System and Bodywork

The fuel filler flap plays a significant role in both protecting the fuel system and enhancing the vehicle's aesthetics. A properly selected flap:

• shields the fuel cap and filler neck from external contaminants,
• limits the ingress of moisture and dirt into the filler area,
• visually stabilizes the vehicle's side profile, maintaining factory contours and shape.

To ensure the proper functioning of the fuel system and comfortable daily use, it is advisable to use parts from the Fuel Filler Flaps and Accessories group, which are structurally matched to the specific body generation.

Atoll Blue Metallic – 375 Color Scheme

The Atoll Blue Metallic - 375 shade is a metallic paint from the Mercedes-Benz palette, characterized by a subtle, elegant blue hue with a metallic light effect. Using the original color on the fuel filler flap allows you to:

• maintain a uniform appearance of the vehicle's side section,
• minimize color discrepancies between the flap and adjacent panels,
• reduce the scope of potential paintwork after installation.

For Mercedes owners who prioritize maintaining a consistent, factory-original look for their vehicle, selecting the correct paint code for this body area is of significant visual importance.

Item Condition and Practical Application

The offered fuel filler flap is a used original part, which translates to a beneficial combination of factory fitment and an attractive price compared to new parts. This type of solution is particularly advantageous for accident repairs, spot bodywork corrections, or restoring a vehicle to a near-factory condition after localized damage.

Replacing the flap is a typical bodywork service operation and can be performed either in a professional body and paint shop or in a specialized workshop focusing on Mercedes-Benz models.
