CL203 & W203 WINGS/FENDERS BODY PANELS - IS THERE A DIFFERENCE ???

Hi there, I am looking to replace both front wings (fenders) on my;
2002 C200 KOMPRESSOR SPORTS COUPE (CL203)
I have been searching online and can only find (W203). can anyone tell me if there is a difference regarding the front wings panels as both look identical. Only the rear of the (CL203) is clearly visibly different due to high rear body.

Thank you,
Brett

Yes, I am also seeking differences between the two - for example, the front bumper and dash top (and bottom)?

You can consult the dealer about the fenders.

The headlights are definitely different between the two, as are the bumpers.

None of the panels on the two cars are shared. Zero.
The only things shared are the mirrors and suspension components.

So, would front cross member from my 10/2002 C180 manual fit my crashed 05/2002 C200 auto? I think radiators are different

KompressorBoy14 your best bet would be to look in EPC and check the part #s. If they are the same then they match.

Nope, radiators are the same. The CL203 is identical to the W203 in pretty much every way except for body panels, and that the chassis is a few inches shorter.
I'm not sure about the cross member however. Check product numbers and see if they match.

Radiator

Thank you for your reply....

Does that mean that manual and auto radiators are interchangeable? My donor car has a manual radiator, and my repairer is an auto.

Hello Sharpinho.

Firstly, I note that you are UK based like me, can I suggest that you also join mbclub.co.uk.

I recently purchased two wings/fenders for my CL203 from Mercedes Oxford & paid £143 +tax with free delivery to SW England.

Part numbers are MA 203 880 03 18 & MA 203 880 04 18.

Contact Andrew on 01865 371011
