Fitment questions

What years of Mercedes-Benz CLS boot lid are interchangeable?

The CLS has run across two main generations: the first-generation C219 from 2004 to 2010, and the second-generation C218 from 2011 to 2018. Boot lids from within the same generation will generally be your starting point for compatibility, but whether a lid crosses cleanly between the early and late years of a generation — particularly around any mid-run pressing changes — is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Will a pre-facelift CLS boot lid fit a facelift model — for example, does a 2006 lid fit a 2009 car?

Both years sit within the first-generation C219 (2004–2010), so you are within the same platform and body shell, which is a good sign. However, Mercedes did make detail changes during this generation's run, and whether the pressing, badge aperture or lamp cut-outs are identical across those years is not something to assume — confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before ordering.

Does a second-generation C218 CLS boot lid fit all variants in that range, including the Shooting Brake?

The standard CLS C218 saloon coupé and the CLS Shooting Brake are completely different body styles with entirely different boot lids, so they do not interchange. Always confirm which body style you have before approaching a breaker, as quoting your registration will immediately clarify this.

Does trim level affect which boot lid I need — for example, AMG Line versus a standard CLS?

Trim level — whether AMG Line, Sport, or a standard specification — does not change the pressed steel boot lid panel itself, so a lid from a different trim car on the same generation will fit. You may find cosmetic differences such as badging, spoiler lips, or different badge holes between trims, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can match those details as closely as possible.

I have a C219 first-generation CLS — will a boot lid from the C218 second-generation car fit?

No: the C219 (2004–2010) and C218 (2011–2018) are entirely separate generations with different body structures, so their boot lids are not interchangeable. Make sure any part you source is confirmed against your generation, and give the breaker your registration to be certain.

How do I make sure I get the right CLS boot lid from a breaker?

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can verify the exact generation, model year, and body style against DVLA and trade data. The key factors for fitment are the generation (C219 or C218) and body style — engine and trim level do not affect which lid you need, though trim can affect cosmetic details like badges and spoilers. Never rely on year alone, as production changes mean a registration check is always the safest approach.
