Fitment on a used bumper varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The CLS has run across three generations: the first-generation C219 ran from 2004 to 2010, the second-generation C218 ran from 2011 to 2018 with a facelift in 2014, and the third-generation C257 started in 2018. Bumpers are shared within each generation and facelift period, so always match both the generation and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift when sourcing a used bumper from a breaker.
These two cars sit either side of the C218 facelift: the 2013 is pre-facelift and the 2016 is post-facelift (the facelift arrived in 2014), and bumpers, lights and grilles typically change at that boundary. You should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration whether the specific bumper they have crosses that 2014 facelift line, as fitment is not guaranteed across it.
Trim level does not affect whether a bumper physically fits the car, as panels are shared across the trim range within the same generation and facelift period. However, AMG Line models may have a different bumper style or additional styling details compared with standard trim, so visually confirm with the breaker that the bumper matches the spec on your car to avoid a cosmetic mismatch.
No — the C219 (2004–2010) and C218 (2011–2018) are entirely different generations on different platforms, so their bumpers are not interchangeable. Always make sure any used bumper is sourced from the correct generation to suit your car.
Both cars share the C218 platform, but the 2014 facelift is the key boundary — bumpers, grilles and lights commonly change at this point. Confirm with the breaker against your specific registration whether the bumper they have is the correct facelift variant for your car, as fitment across that 2014 boundary cannot be taken for granted.
Engine choice has no bearing on bumper fitment for the CLS — what matters is the generation (C219, C218 or C257) and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. Simply quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct panel.
