Will a C36 and C43 Share the Exact Same Front Fenders?
Passenger Side Front to be exact?
I searched but I don't have access to part #s and want to know if
the passenger side front fender from a 96 C36 will fit a 99 C43.

All 94-2000 W202 fenders are the same, same fenders comes with holes for indicator signal, some are not(depend of the model spec.),,
also AMG add the rubber seal trim, to give little bit wide looking for fenders.

I've got a regular fender on the driver's side of both my C43's and it's identical to the fender I took off...

They are rolled. Probably a modification AMG did when they got their hands on the car. If you were to order one i doubt youd have an option for a rolled one.
If you are going low, be ready to roll your fenders unless you find a w202 amg thats parting.

Thankss,

*in EPC & MB/W202 factory data/file; they mention no any difference with W202 fenders, except the indicator hole & AMG seal..!!

The purpose is to eliminate rubbing. People do this when they lower their cars.
Every w202 amg i looked at had rolled fenders. Yours were probably replaced at some point if they are not rolled.
I dont think you can buy them rolled new from mercedes

Good info., didn't know about that before,
As i know; in 99 MB produced 464 C280 with C43 body kit & 313 C240 with C43 body kit,
but in 2000 they produced 384 C280 with C43 body kit & 198 C240 with C43 body kit & 128 C230K with C43 body kit,
*can we say AMG done that bend to the fender for lowering isn't..?,,
or it's some kind of info. to MB, to know if fender been replaced during warranty/service history to the AMG models...?!!?

Actually never thought of that, which is a clever trick they can pull.
But im also thinking that since these cars with euro suspension comes
a bit lower, they compensated for the difference and rolled the fenders.

Id say its mostly done because they upgraded to 17 inch mono 2s that are also wider than stock 15s and 16s that come on c230/c280s.
My stock c43 was pretty damn high when i bought it. It was a 4x4
I didnt know they released c230s and c280s with c43 kits. Is this in europe only?

Yeah, Euro & Japan, but not sure about U.S..?
i had "2" C280's 5-6 years ago with originally/factory C43 kits,
as i remember; when i want to replace the right fender seal at the dealer, they gave me AMG seal directly without asking that is non-AMG...!!

Guys,
You are right, amg did roll the fenders for the larger 17" wheels,as Zayed mentioned there is only one number so it looks like you purchase a stock W202 fender and then apply AMG spec"40.27", which will be be some sort of spec on how far to roll it I assume or same spec as mentioned in PJmak's post above(you would use aftermarket rolling tool
)
Also, the rubber lips you see on euro and japan models I think was for salty roads to aid stone rust/stone damage wasn't it?

My 99 was wrecked 6 months after we got it, had to replace drivers side fender with one from a blue pre-update C280, it looks identical to the stock one
My 98 had some rust on that same fender so I replaced it with one I found from a black C230k on craigslist and it is also identical. I still have the stock one in the shed with the rust hole in it. I can use it for a definitive comparison so we can figure out this mystery, if I can ever get home before dark!

+ looking inside the amg fender its distinctly obvious its been rolled as they stop the roll well before the bumper join, if you go too far with the roll you will pull that area inwards it doesnt look so good.

well, the stock fenders are tagged with the car's VIN. no way to get fenders like that unless they shipped with the car! maybe I'm really just not looking at them hard enough and they look almost identical?
