Used Mercedes-Benz C-Class Bonnet

The C-Class has run across four modern generations: W202 (1993–2000), W203 (2000–2007), W204 (2007–2014), and W205 (2014–2021). Bonnets are generation-specific, so you must match the correct generation to your car — a W204 bonnet will not fit a W205, for example. Check your registration against these ranges when requesting quotes from a breaker.

The W204 C-Class received a facelift in 2011, which brought changes to the front end including the grille and lights. Both your 2010 and 2012 examples sit within the W204 generation, but one is pre-facelift and one is post-facelift — whether the bonnet itself interchanges across that 2011 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as panel profiles can differ subtly around a facelift. Never assume a direct swap without that check.

Within the same generation, the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across body styles — saloon, estate, and coupe variants within a generation typically use the same bonnet pressing. This means body style alone should not affect whether a bonnet fits your car, so don't rule out a part simply because it came off a different body style. That said, always confirm with the breaker using your registration to be certain.

For the standard C-Class range, trim level — whether SE, Sport, or AMG Line — does not affect which bonnet fits, as the panel itself is the same across those grades within a generation. A full AMG variant (such as a C63) may use a different bonnet pressing, so if your car or the donor car is a C63 or similar performance model, confirm this specifically with the breaker. You may notice cosmetic differences such as different bonnet badges or finishes between trims, but the fitment of the panel is not trim-dependent for mainstream grades.

Both 2016 and 2019 fall within the W205 generation (2014–2021), so in broad terms they share the same front-end architecture. The W205 received a facelift in 2018, which updated styling elements at the front, so there is a facelift boundary between your two years — whether the bonnet itself crosses that boundary without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. Name both years clearly when you contact a breaker so they can check the part numbers.

Engine choice has no effect on bonnet fitment — the front panel is identical regardless of whether the donor car was a diesel, petrol, or hybrid variant. Focus instead on matching the generation and facelift period to your own car, as those are the factors that actually determine whether the bonnet will fit. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to be sure.
