Bonnet W166 for Mercedes-Benz GL-CLASS

Replacement bonnet panel engineered for the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class on the X166 platform (pre-facelift, prior to GLS rename). Built to OEM-equivalent specifications to restore factory panel gaps, latch alignment, and structural performance. Supplied in protective e-coat primer, ready for preparation and paint. Designed to reuse original hinges, latch/striker, insulation pad, washer nozzles, and seals.

• E-Coat Corrosion Protection: Electrophoretic primer ensures excellent paint adhesion and long-term rust resistance.
• Direct Fitment: Uses factory hinge points, latch locations, and rubber buffers—no cutting or drilling required.
• Safety & Structure: Preserves engineered deformation zones and compatibility with OE primary/secondary latch mechanisms.
• Body-Shop Friendly: Smooth outer surface and clean edges to minimise prep time before paint.
