Purpose and function of the hinge

The presented hinge operates in the rear part of the body on the right side, responsible for the controlled movement of the boot lid and maintaining it in the correct position relative to the fenders and bumper. The design was developed specifically for the coupe body, taking into account the characteristic roofline and the shape of the boot opening, which translates into proper guidance of the lid throughout its entire range of motion.

The component works in conjunction with other parts of the lid lifting and retention mechanism, such as gas struts or locks, creating a cohesive system responsible for the convenient and safe use of the luggage compartment.

Color and visual fitment

The hinge is finished in the Selenite Grey Metallic - 992 shade, which allows for aesthetic matching to a body of the same color without the need for immediate repainting. In the case of bodywork and paint repairs, this reduces the scope of preparatory work and makes it easier to maintain visual consistency across the entire rear section of the vehicle.

The metallic paint coating is selected to the manufacturer's standards, so that after proper installation and any necessary paint touch-ups, the hinge remains virtually invisible in daily use, and the boot lid line remains harmonious.

Condition, origin, and benefits of using a used part

The offered hinge comes from dismantling and is classified as a used original part. In practice, this means it retains factory structural parameters, correct mounting points, and compatibility with factory bolts and body mounts. Compared to non-factory replacements, this facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of issues with lid geometry.

Using an original hinge in good technical condition is particularly beneficial for post-collision repairs, where it is crucial to restore correct gaps between body panels and ensure the lid closes securely without additional adjustments beyond the standard service procedure.

Practical installation and maintenance tips

When replacing the hinge, it is recommended to:

• check the condition of the cooperating boot mechanism components (gas struts, locks, mounts),
• inspect the geometry of the boot opening following any previous bodywork repairs,
• perform precise adjustment of the lid position after installation to achieve even gaps and proper closing.

Selecting parts according to manufacturer markings and parameters such as vehicle placement, color, or brand (available in the technical specifications section) helps reduce the risk of errors and speeds up the service process.
