Bonnet X253 for Mercedes-Benz GLC-CLASS

Replacement bonnet panel for the first-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV on the X253 platform (2016–2022, including the 2019 facelift). Built to OEM-equivalent specifications to restore factory panel gaps, latch alignment, and structural integrity. Supplied in protective e-coat primer, ready for preparation and paint. Designed to reuse original hinges, latch/striker, insulation pad, washer nozzles, and seals.

Key Features

• OEM Specification: Manufactured to Mercedes-Benz dimensional tolerances for precise alignment with fenders, bumper, and headlights.
• Lightweight Construction: Aluminium outer skin with reinforced inner bracing for rigidity and reduced mass.
• E-Coat Corrosion Protection: Electrophoretic primer ensures excellent paint adhesion and long-term rust resistance.
• Direct Fitment: Uses factory hinge points, latch location, and buffer mounts—no cutting or drilling required.
• Safety & Structure: Maintains engineered deformation zones and compatibility with OE primary/secondary latch mechanisms.
• Body-Shop Ready: Smooth outer surface and clean edges reduce preparation time before paint.
