**Unlock the Perfect Fit: 2017 Nissan Qashqai OEM Hood with Original Paint**

For owners and repair shops of the 2017 Nissan Qashqai seeking an unparalleled restoration, we present an exceptional opportunity. This is not a new aftermarket part or a generic replacement. This is the original factory hood, removed from a 2017 Nissan Qashqai, offering a match that simply cannot be replicated.

**The Incomparable Value of Original Factory Paint**

The crown jewel of this component is its preserved original factory paint. Modern automotive paint systems are complex, involving multiple layers, specific chemical compositions, and baking processes that are incredibly difficult to duplicate perfectly in a repair shop. Color matching, even with advanced systems, can lead to slight variations in shade, metallic flake orientation, and overall finish when compared to the rest of the vehicle’s aged panels.

By choosing this OEM hood, you bypass all these variables. The color is guaranteed to be a perfect match to the other original panels on a 2017 Qashqai. The texture, gloss, and long-term durability of the factory-applied coating remain intact. This ensures a seamless, factory-fresh appearance that maintains the vehicle’s aesthetic integrity and protects its value far better than a repainted panel.

**Honest Condition: Professionally Addressed Minor Damage**

Transparency is key. This hood originally sustained minor damage that required attention. We believe in full disclosure: the hood has undergone professional metal work (panel beating) to restore its perfect structural shape and contour. The repair has been completed to a high standard, ensuring the panel is straight, aligns correctly, and has the correct fit.

Crucially, the repair process stopped after the metal was perfected. **No paint work was performed.** This is a significant benefit for you. It means you are acquiring a panel with a flawless foundation and a pristine, original paint surface. There is no need to worry about the quality of a secondary paint job, potential premature peeling, or incorrect color blending.

**Why This is the Superior Choice for Your Qashqai:**

* **Guaranteed Fitment:** As a genuine Nissan part, it will bolt on directly with perfect alignment to the fenders, headlights, and latch mechanism. No modifications, shimming, or adjustment headaches.
* **Preserved Vehicle Value:** Using original OEM body panels with factory paint is the gold standard in collision repair and is highly valued during resale.
* **Time and Cost Efficiency:** Save significantly compared to the exorbitant cost of a new OEM hood and the extensive labor hours required for painting, color sanding, and blending.
* **Eco-Friendly Solution:** This is the ultimate form of automotive recycling, giving a high-quality part a second life and reducing waste.

This hood represents the smartest compromise: the minor imperfection was professionally corrected, leaving you with the immense value of the original, untouched paint. It’s the perfect solution for a cost-effective, high-quality, and value-retaining repair.

Ideal for a knowledgeable owner looking for a perfect cosmetic restoration or a professional body shop aiming to deliver a superior result to a client without the cost and hassle of a full repaint.

**Please Note:** We recommend a professional installer test-fit the hood before any final painting decisions are made, to confirm the repair meets your specific standards. This part is sold as-is regarding the completed metal work.
