Fitment questions

Does a bonnet strut from an older C-Class fit my newer one - for example, will a W204 strut fit a W205?

The C-Class W204 (2007–2014) and W205 (2014–2021) are completely different generations with different bonnet designs, so their bonnet struts are not interchangeable. Always match the strut to the correct generation - confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Will a bonnet strut from a pre-facelift W205 fit my post-facelift W205?

The W205 C-Class was facelifted in 2018, and while the bonnet itself is generally understood to carry over across that facelift, whether the strut and its mounting points interchange exactly is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume - breakers can verify this quickly using your reg.

Does the trim level affect which bonnet strut I need - for example, is an AMG Line strut different from an SE or Sport?

Trim level does not affect bonnet strut fitment on the C-Class - the bonnet and its support struts are shared across SE, Sport, AMG Line, and other trim variants within the same generation. You may find minor cosmetic differences in finishes or underbonnet bracing on AMG models, but the strut itself is the same, so any like-generation strut should suit your car.

I have a W203 C-Class - will a bonnet strut from a W204 fit it?

No, the W203 (2000–2007) and W204 (2007–2014) are separate generations with different bodywork, so their bonnet struts are not compatible. Make sure you source a strut specifically listed for the W203 and confirm fitment with the breaker using your registration.

Does it matter whether my C-Class is a saloon, estate, or coupe when buying a bonnet strut?

Within the same generation, the bonnet and its struts are shared across saloon, estate, and coupe body styles on the C-Class, as the front-end structure is common across the range. That said, it is always worth confirming with the breaker against your registration to be certain, as there can occasionally be minor variations.

Is there anything special about the bonnet strut on a C63 AMG compared to a standard C-Class?

The bonnet strut on a C63 AMG functions in the same way as on any other C-Class of the same generation, and engine or performance variant does not alter the strut specification. Source a strut for the correct generation - W204 or W205 - and confirm with the breaker using your registration to make sure it is the right fit for your specific car.
