The wheels will fit. as for the rest of it I doubt it. They are two different platforms. The 208 is based on a w202 and the 209 is based on a w203.

No the radiators are different:

The W209 Radiator Dimensions are: 25 1/2 x 16 x 1 Thickness with a horizontal hose entrance and horizontal hose exit

The W208 Radiator Dimensions are: 24 x 16 1/2 x 1 3/4 Thickness with a semi-vertical hose entrance and horizontal hose exit

Also the mounting tabs are different and would not line up.
