Mercedes-Benz CLE Side Skirt Replacement Parts

Side skirts are not a standard body panel fitted to the Mercedes-Benz CLE (C236/A236) in the way that bumpers, doors or wings are - they are an optional or trim-dependent styling addition rather than a structural part of every car. Some CLE models left the factory with an AMG Line or AMG styling package that includes rocker panel extensions often described as side skirts, so whether your car has them depends entirely on which specification it was built to. If you're looking to replace or match a side skirt on a CLE, confirm with the breaker that the part they have came from a car with the same styling package as yours.

The Mercedes-Benz CLE launched in 2023 and at the time of writing remains a single first-generation model (C236 coupe, A236 cabriolet) with no confirmed facelift having taken place, so cars across the 2023-to-present range are expected to share the same body panels including any side skirt extensions. That said, always confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration, as minor running changes can affect panel fitment even within an unchanged generation.

Engine choice does not affect side skirt fitment on the CLE - the body shell and exterior panels are shared across all engine variants within the same generation. What does matter is the exterior styling package, because a CLE 53 AMG or a car specced with the AMG Line exterior will have a different side skirt design to a standard or Avantgarde-trimmed car. Make sure the part you're buying came from a car with the same exterior specification as yours, and ask the breaker to confirm this before purchasing.

The CLE Coupe (C236) and CLE Cabriolet (A236) share the same platform and front-end architecture, but side skirts follow the rocker line of the bodywork, which can differ between body styles. It is safest to source a side skirt from the same body style as your own car - confirm with the breaker whether the part they have came from a coupe or a cabriolet and check it against your registration before agreeing a purchase.

Yes - near-side (NS, kerb side, left-hand side on a UK right-hand-drive car) and off-side (OS, driver's side, right-hand side) side skirts are handed parts and are not interchangeable with each other. Always tell the breaker clearly which side you need, using NS or OS, to make sure you receive the correct part.

The CLE is built on its own distinct platform and its styling is specific to that model, so side skirts from other Mercedes ranges such as the C-Class or E-Class are very unlikely to be a direct fit. Some aftermarket suppliers produce CLE-specific skirts, but if you want a genuine used part, stick to sourcing from a CLE of the same body style and trim specification, and always confirm compatibility with the breaker before buying.
