Mercedes-Benz CLA Bumper Replacement Parts

The CLA comes in two generations: the first-generation C117 ran from 2013 to 2019, and the second-generation C118 launched in 2019 onwards. Within each generation, bumpers are shared across the range, but the first-generation received a facelift in 2016 which changed the front bumper styling, so a pre-facelift 2013–2015 bumper and a post-facelift 2016–2019 bumper are from the same generation but different facelift periods. Always confirm the exact interchange with the breaker against your registration before buying.

These two cars sit either side of the first-generation C117 facelift, which arrived in 2016 — the 2015 car is pre-facelift and the 2017 car is post-facelift. Both are C117 platform cars, but bumpers and front-end panels typically change at a facelift, so these parts may well differ. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific bumper you're looking at crosses that 2016 facelift boundary before purchasing.

Engine and trim level do not affect bumper fitment — the CLA 200, 220, 250 and standard AMG-Line variants all share the same front bumper within the same generation and facelift period. However, the CLA 45 AMG has its own distinctive bumper with larger air intakes, so a standard bumper will not be a direct cosmetic match for a 45 AMG car, even if it physically mounts up. Make sure the part you're sourcing matches your specific variant, and confirm with the breaker if you're unsure which bumper your car uses.

The CLA Shooting Brake shares the C117 platform with the standard CLA saloon in the first generation, and front bumpers are generally shared across body styles within a generation and facelift period. However, you should confirm this against your specific registration with the breaker, as panel-level interchangeability between body styles is worth verifying rather than assuming.

The bumper shell itself is the same part regardless of headlight type, but the foglamp surrounds, grille inserts or daytime running light bezels that sit within the bumper can differ between headlight variants within a generation. When sourcing from a breaker, give them your registration so they can check which specific front-end specification your car has and supply a matching bumper assembly.

The two key questions are which generation your CLA is — C117 (2013–2019) or C118 (2019 onwards) — and, if it's a C117, whether it's pre-facelift (2013–2015) or post-facelift (2016–2019). Give your registration to the breaker and ask them to confirm the part came from a car matching your generation and facelift period, as mixing these up is the most common reason a used bumper won't look right even if it physically fits.
