The modern S-Class generations are the W220 (1998–2005), W221 (2005–2013), W222 (2013–2020), and W223 (2021–present). Within each generation, the bonnet is shared across all wheelbase variants (standard and long-wheelbase) and roof configurations, so engine choice and body length make no difference to bonnet fitment. Give your registration to the breaker to confirm the exact generation, and they can match you to the right panel.
The W222 S-Class received a facelift in 2017, which brought changes to the front-end styling including the grille, lights, and bumper. The bonnet itself may or may not interchange across that 2013–2017 and 2017–2020 boundary — this is exactly the kind of question you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as panel profiles can subtly change at a facelift even when they look similar. Don't assume fitment without that check.
The W221 runs from 2005 to 2013 and received a facelift in 2009, creating a pre-facelift (2005–2009) and post-facelift (2009–2013) period. Both a 2006 and a 2011 car fall within the W221 generation, but they sit on opposite sides of that 2009 facelift boundary, so whether the bonnet interchanges is not guaranteed — confirm this directly with the breaker quoting your registration before buying.
Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the S-Class — the bonnet panel itself is the same across SE, AMG Line, and full AMG variants within the same generation and facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences such as badges, power-wash nozzle positions, or paint code, so check those details with the breaker, but the panel will mount the same way. Engine choice, including AMG V8 or V12 fitment, makes no difference to the bonnet itself.
No — the bonnet is a front-end panel and is identical across short and long-wheelbase variants within the same S-Class generation and facelift period. The extended wheelbase on L-suffix models adds length behind the B-pillar, leaving the front end unchanged. Any breaker can confirm this against your registration, but wheelbase is not a factor you need to worry about when sourcing a bonnet.
The bonnet panel itself is the same regardless of headlight technology, so xenon, LED, or other lighting variants within a generation do not affect which bonnet fits your car. However, if your bonnet has integrated washer jets or camera mountings, check with the breaker that the used panel matches your exact specification, as those features can vary within a generation. Confirming against your registration is always the safest approach.
