Aah, I see, what I mean is bonnet, wings, bumper, grill and head lights and even wing mirrors, from what I can tell with them parked next to each other is that it was just a face lift and it all fits to the existing mounting points, even the slam pannel

the clc is the "sport coup" c class correct? If so it should be the same as the 32 but the c55 has the clk front end.

There was a face lift with w204 shaped lights in the CLC, from 2010, "sport coup" so I recon you could swap the whole front, it would look mint, just got to find one that's had a rear end shunt lol

I'm not sure we even got that on this side of the pond(the States). Sorry if you're over here too, but you sound British or near Aus./NZ.

I think I like it too and no, our coupe never got that refresh as we hate hatches for some stupid reason. We were lucky to get the first one, let alone it stick around long enough to need a refresh. /VW GTI owner for almost 20 years

none... for now
That looks cobbled together day 2 different teams. A smooth, Gen X hatchback body and angular, Gen Y front end. It's literally 2 cars put together...

Honestly you can make it work pending on your mechanical skills. If your the type to just drop off car and part somewhere, this won't get done unless you got cash flow. But you can find recked ones or get front clips that way if need to cut and reweld new front support in, you got everything you need to do all that. Obviously I hope that it can be a simple swap over but doubt so. like a jdm front conversion on usdm dc2

sorry to say but the older model looked better. The normal C class hatch. This CLC is all over my Country and I don't like it one bit.
