Used Mercedes-Benz C-Class Front Grille

The C-Class has run through several distinct generations: W202 (1993–2000), W203 (2000–2007), W204 (2007–2014), and W205 (2014–2021), with each generation using its own front-end panels that are not interchangeable between generations. Within a generation, the grille, bumper and lights typically restyled at the facelift point, so the generation and facelift period are the two things that really matter when sourcing a used grille. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact part.

The W204 C-Class ran from 2007 to 2014, with a facelift introduced in 2011 that brought revised front-end styling including changes to the grille surround and bumper. Pre-facelift (2007–2011) and post-facelift (2011–2014) grilles look different and are not the same part, but whether a specific grille can physically swap across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume. Name the facelift year when asking — it's the key detail breakers need.

No — the front grille on the C-Class is part of the shared front-end structure and is the same across saloon and estate body styles within the same generation and facelift period. You don't need to specify body style to the breaker when asking about the grille, though quoting your registration is still the simplest way to make sure you get the right part.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the front grille in terms of mounting and fit, so an SE, Sport, or AMG Line are all within the same generation and facelift period and the grille will attach the same way. However, AMG Line models typically feature a more aggressive grille design with different styling details compared to SE or Sport, so a direct swap between trim levels may look noticeably different on your car. If appearance matters to you, it's worth asking the breaker which trim the grille came from.

A 2013 C-Class is a late W204 (2007–2014 generation), while a 2015 model is a W205 (2014–2021 generation) — these are entirely different platforms with different front-end designs, so the grilles will not interchange. You need a W204 grille, and because your 2013 car falls in the post-facelift W204 period (facelift was 2011), you should look for a grille from a 2011–2014 W204 and confirm fitment with the breaker against your registration.

The grille itself is generally not directly dependent on headlight type, but front-end panels on the same generation can have subtle differences depending on lighting variants in terms of surrounding trim and fitment points. This is one to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as they can check the exact part reference rather than leaving it to chance.
