Used Mercedes-Benz E-Class Front Bumper

The W210 ran from 1995 to 2002, the W211 from 2002 to 2009, the W212 from 2009 to 2016, and the W213 from 2016 onwards - each is a completely different front-end design, so you must match the bumper to your exact generation. When contacting a breaker, quote your registration and they can confirm the generation immediately. Bumpers do not carry over between these generations under any circumstances.

The W212 E-Class was facelifted in 2013, and Mercedes updated the front bumper, grille and headlight surrounds at that point, so pre- and post-facelift bumpers look noticeably different. Whether the physical mounting points allow a cross-facelift swap is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as this is not something we can state as fact. Name the facelift boundary clearly when you request a quote - pre-2013 or 2013-onwards W212.

Both a 2005 and a 2008 E-Class fall within the W211 generation (2002-2009), however the W211 received a facelift in 2006 that included changes to the front bumper and headlight design. A 2005 car is pre-facelift and a 2008 car is post-facelift, so while they share a platform, you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific panel interchanges across that 2006 boundary before purchasing. Always provide your registration when requesting a quote.

Trim level alone does not affect which front bumper generation or facelift variant you need, so an SE and an AMG Line on the same W212 or W213 facelift period share the same underlying fitment. That said, AMG Line models typically have a different front bumper styling to SE or Avantgarde, so a bumper pulled from an SE may look cosmetically different even if the mounting points match - confirm the trim the donor car was when speaking to the breaker. Never assume a cosmetic mismatch is a fitment problem.

No - front bumpers are part of the shared front-end structure across body styles within a generation and facelift period, so a W213 estate and a W213 saloon of the same facelift phase use the same front bumper. You do not need to specify body style to the breaker for this part, though quoting your registration is always the quickest way to confirm.

The most important details are your registration number, the generation (W210, W211, W212 or W213), and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift - for the W211 that means pre- or post-2006, and for the W212 pre- or post-2013. Engine, wheelbase and door count do not affect front bumper fitment and can be left out. If your car has xenon or LED headlights rather than halogen, mention this to the breaker as headlight variants within a generation can influence how the bumper is finished around the lamp apertures.
