Mercedes-Benz GLE Wing Replacement Parts

The GLE runs across two main generations: the first-generation W166 (2015–2019) and the second-generation V167 (2019-onwards). Wings are front-end panels and are shared across the different body styles within each generation, so the key thing to match is which generation your car belongs to. Always confirm the exact part with the breaker against your registration, as a facelift on the W166 in 2018 may have introduced changes to surrounding panels.

The 2017 model sits in the first-generation W166 range, while a 2019 GLE could be either a late W166 or the start of the second-generation V167, which launched in 2019. These two generations are completely different platforms and their wings will not interchange. Confirm your exact generation with your registration and let the breaker know, as this is the most important fitment check for this part.

The W166 received a facelift in 2018, and while front-end panels like wings can sometimes be shared across a facelift, you should not assume this is the case here. The 2018 facelift brought changes to the front-end styling, and whether a pre-facelift wing is interchangeable with a post-facelift one is something you need to confirm with the breaker against your registration. Name the specific model year when you contact the breaker so they can verify compatibility directly.

Trim level does not affect wing fitment on the GLE — the wing panel itself is the same across AMG Line, Sport, and standard specification cars within the same generation. That said, there can be cosmetic differences such as badging or subtle styling details, and a panel sourced from a different trim may need minor adjustment or respraying to match. Confirm the generation and facelift period with the breaker, and you should be fine regardless of which trim the donor car was.

Within the same W166 generation, the GLE Coupe (C292) and the standard GLE SUV share the same front-end platform architecture, and the wing panels are understood to be the same across these body styles. However, you should always confirm this with the breaker against your registration, as panel-level differences can exist that are not always obvious. Give the breaker both the body style and the model year to be certain.

Yes — always specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver's side) when contacting a breaker, as the two wings are not interchangeable with each other. In UK right-hand-drive cars the driver sits on the right, so the driver's side wing is the OS. Getting this right upfront will save time and avoid the breaker sending the wrong part.
