Used sills vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The CLS has two main generations: the first-generation W219, produced from 2004 to 2010, and the second-generation W218, produced from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift around 2014. Sills are body-specific and differ entirely between these two generations, so you must match the generation to your car. Always confirm against your registration with the breaker before ordering.
Both years fall within the second-generation W218 (2011–2018), but 2013 sits before the 2014 facelift and 2015 sits after it, meaning there may be pressing differences in the outer sill panel between pre- and post-facelift cars. Name the boundary confidently: the facelift was introduced in 2014, and whether the sill pressing changed across that point is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the sill, as the underlying body structure is the same across trim variants of the same generation. However, AMG Line and AMG models may have different styling on lower body trim pieces or add-on sill extensions that sit over the structural sill, so be aware of cosmetic differences when sourcing from a breaker. The core sill panel itself should interchange within the same generation regardless of trim.
No — the W219 (2004–2010) and W218 (2011–2018) are entirely different platforms with different body structures, so their sills are not interchangeable. Always source a sill that matches your generation exactly, and confirm this with the breaker against your registration number.
Engine choice makes no difference to sill fitment on the CLS, as the sill is a body panel unrelated to the drivetrain. Whether your car is a 220d, 250d, 350, or 400, the sill fitment is determined solely by generation and any body pressing variations, not by what is under the bonnet.
Give the breaker your full registration number and specify nearside (NS, the passenger side) or offside (OS, the driver side) clearly, as sills are handed and not interchangeable left to right. Also let them know whether you need the outer sill panel, an inner structural sill, or a sill cover or trim strip, as these are different components and breakers will need to know exactly what you're after. Confirming your build date alongside the registration is helpful in case of any mid-generation pressing changes.
