Used Mercedes-Benz CLA Boot Lid

The CLA has run across two distinct generations: the first-generation (C117) ran from 2013 to 2019, with a facelift in 2016, and the second-generation (C118) launched in 2019 onwards – these are completely different bodies and the boot lids will not interchange between them. Within the first generation, the pre-facelift and post-facelift pressings look different, so whether a 2013–2015 lid fits a 2016–2019 car is a boundary you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration. Always quote your exact year and reg when getting a quote.

The 2016 facelift is the key boundary here: a 2015 car is pre-facelift C117 and a 2017 car is post-facelift C117, and the rear panel styling changed at that point. Both fall within the first-generation C117 platform, but whether the lid swaps cleanly across that 2016 facelift line is something you should confirm with the breaker using both registrations, as pressing changes at facelifts are not always fully documented. Don't assume fitment just because both cars share the same generation name.

Trim level does not affect whether a boot lid physically fits: SE, Sport, and AMG Line all share the same shell within a given CLA generation, so the panel will bolt on regardless of which trim the donor car came from. What you may notice is cosmetic differences – for example, an AMG Line lid may carry a different badge or spoiler profile – but the fitment itself is not trim-dependent. Just make sure the donor car is the same generation (C117 or C118) as yours.

No – the CLA Shooting Brake (X117) is an estate-style body and its boot lid is an entirely different pressing to the saloon/four-door coupe CLA (C117 or C118). Body style is the first question with any boot lid, and estate and saloon lids are never interchangeable. Make sure you specify exactly which body style your car is when contacting a breaker.

Engine size makes no difference to boot lid fitment on the CLA – the same lid fits whether your car is a 180, 200, 220d, or any other engine variant, as long as the generation and body style match. The things that actually matter are the generation (C117 2013–2019 or C118 2019-on), the body style (four-door coupe or Shooting Brake), and the facelift year (2016 on the C117). Give the breaker your registration and they can confirm the exact panel from the donor vehicle.

The boot lid itself is a central panel and is not inherently handed left or right, so an LHD-sourced lid can physically fit an RHD UK car in most cases. However, if the lid carries pre-drilled holes for number plate lighting, badging, or a rear wiper, the positions may differ between markets or model years, so confirm these details with the breaker before buying. It is also worth checking whether any integrated camera or sensor mounting points match your car's specification.
