Interchangable parts between trim levels

Specifically speaking, I'm wondering if say parts suspension or braking parts from a higher level C-Class will fit a C200. I ask because when searching for parts for a C200 things are scarce and even more so because I'm in Hong Kong so wondering that since there are more parts listed for C300,C350 etc if they would fit? Thanks.

for interior parts, i know they do.
for exterior parts, except for the c63, everything is a perfect fit.

You CAN use e.g.suspension parts from e.g. the 300 or 350, BUT: there are dozens of different springs for each car. The dealer calculates the spring for your car with a "point-system", which includes the engine, the extras etc., so that in the end your car is at the right height. The differences are minor, but you should keep that in mind.
The shocks will fit from the 300 or 350, too (if they're 2WD like yours is).
The brakes might fit, too, but there are a lot of different types as well (with or without AMG-package etc.), so you need to check twice if they really fit...
Interiour- and bodyparts will fit (apart from the C63), as Kaewen told you allready...

Cool, I figured the suspension and brakes would fit but just varying on trim levels and that might interfere so I wanted to make sure. It's just since most manufactures aren't focusing on C200 CGI models, looking for components is difficult. My gf just has the standard luxury/avantgarde edition with the regular brakes. I want to upgrade her rotors to slotted but I need to see if the stock sports rotors are bigger or not since the calipers are also different between the models.
