Does w203 Facelift dash parts fit w209?
As per Title, I'm looking to face lift my CLK center dash, do facelift w203 parts work? or do I need 209 facelift parts and is it PLUG AND PLAY or not?

No, the center stack is narrower on the W209. And there is more than looks to the facelift - there were changes in CAN bus protocols, so you have to replace a while lot of things, including the instrument cluster, which is a challenge to keep the odometer working. I recall a guy on the benzworld W203 forum doing this and it cost him over $2K.
