C43 Coupe 2019 rear diffuser on C43 Coupe 2018

Hi guys,

I have a C43 Coupe 2018 and in my opinion the rear diffuser is not that aggressive. I want to install the diffuser from C43 Coupe 2019. The question is does it fit? Any one that have any info about part measurements? Or should I get Brabus one that fits my C43?

Imo it looks like a direct swap sorta like the c63 swap.

If you could somehow get your hands on a 19 diffuser I bet you would pay a pretty penny for it seeing how it is brand new

I'm about to take delivery of a 2018 C43 AMG sedan on Friday. Will be turning my W204 C63 in.

I am going to be modding the C43 to the max. Will only be using MB factory parts for the bodywork upgrades.

Am already planning on the OEM rear bumper flics, AMG center caps, and the "upgraded" front splitter.

Plan on putting the '19 diffuser on the rear if it turns out to be a direct replacement with no fabrication required.

Some related OEM upgrade questions:

- Has anyone done a C63 grille swap on the C43? Since the '19s will be coming with the twin-blade grille, I am strongly considering getting the jump on this by going with a C63 grille.

Is it a direct replacement? Anyone have all the required part numbers? In addition to the aesthetic component, it looks like the C63 grille facilitates more airflow than the C43 "diamond" grille (which I also think looks nice, but not as clean as the 63's).

Thanks in advance.

The new C43 grille (which looks like the current C63 grille) will most likely fit the current C43. The current C63 grille does not fit the current C43.

I have asked my dealer to check it out. I dont think it should cost that much, its just a plastic piece. The guy who is responsible for parts is back on Monday, will know more then. Otherwise I will buy it from somewhere else, ex www.mboemparts.com

I will also modify my C43 Coupe 18 as below:

Panamericana grill
C43 19 front bumper/splitter
C43 19 rear diffuser with round exhaust tips
Paint brakes to red or gold/orange, haven't decided yet

Lovin' those plans man.

Did you know that there's an upgraded/optional splitter for the '18 C43? I think that's what I'm going to be going with. I think I prefer the lower front fascia of the '18, the grille of the '19, and the rear diffuser of the '19.

I wonder how extensive the exhaust tip swap will be. And whether it will require some fabrication as opposed to being a pure bolt-on swap.

Thx man! No, which one is it? Link pls

I think its about 800-1000USD, both job and peace. You dont have to replace the bumper, only the diffuser and tips. That part is mostly plastic so not that expensive.

Awesome! Really looking forward to watching your build unfold. It's going to be a head turner, for sure.

Here's the link:

You can see it adds a lower horizontal element with some vertical strakes.

Thanks bro! I´ll post a pic when its done.

It looks better the mine, but in my opinion the new one looks more aggressive.

Call me crazy but I am confounded why some guys are so concerned about changing up their 18 coupe with 19 parts. IMHO the 18 coupe looks great as it is and by adding all these substitutions only increases your chances of getting RATTLES.

Just saying.

Hi guys,

Just came back from AMG dealer and here is more info about C43 2019 rear diffuser.

SKU for the rear bumper (red markin in pic) is the same for both 2018 and 2019. AMG mechanic was almost sure that rear diffuser from 2019 (blue marking in pic) would fit. He looked underneath my C43 Coupe 2018 and a C43 Coupe 2019, it looked the same except the diffuser. Diffuser from 2019 is much bigger than from 2018, looks awesome. All of this is so new that he couldn't find night package part, not up in the system yet. Asked me to call him in September, it should be up then. It takes about 3h to change it.

Hi guys,
Got some price indication. Diffuser and end pipes will cost approximately 1600USD (14000SEK).

No worries! Im going to install it probably in September. But I will skip the rest, didn't like the new front at all. It looks to plastic and plain (not sporty) for my taste.

If you mean that C43 2019 diffuser = C63 2018 diffuser then no. C43 2019 diffuser has round pipes, se pic above. C63 diffuser have square pipes, even C63 2019 have square pipes.
