W209 shared parts?
From physical look, the w209 seems to have a w203 front and w211 rear. Is that true?
Means i can install w203 headlamps or w211 tail lamps on the w209?
The clk200k engine is shared with the e200k as well?

Some parts are shared, some are not.
I'd say most of the exterior parts are not shared, except may be w209/w203 side mirrors, and maybe front elements (fenders, bumper) for c55 (c55 front end is different to the rest of w203s). Mechanically w203 and w209 are very close. I know that with w211 clk shares some interior parts like steering wheel, dash.
And yes, engines are also interchangeable, technically you can put engine from w211 into w209, but I'm not sure that you can put v8s into regular w203.

As far as I know, there are no interchangeable body parts between the W203 and W209. The C55 does use a different front end from other W203's for accommodating the V8 engine, but it's all different than the W209, except the headlights. While many parts like tail lights and bumpers may look similar among models, they are generally not interchangeable.
