C180 - 2012
Hi there,
I have 2012 C180 (Saloon) and I'm looking to change the driver's side wing as there are several scratches and found few options online.
But most of them are for 2010 model (same colour 755) but all these models are type W204.
Can I use the wing from another model (it's still W204) on to my one, will it fit perfectly.
To order a brand new wing from dealer and getting it painted would cost 5 times more.
Thanks
Jay

Unlikely as yours is a post facelift and 2010 is likely to be pre facelift.

Used to have a C63...
As above. Headlamp sweep was different so would be surprised if wing panels were same.

The spec looks exactly the same, it's becoming extremely hard to find the same colour for 12 reg C180. Is the issue with fitting and bolts etc, or it's a complete no no

The issue is that without checking part numbers it's hard to know.
You could try checking ilcats.ru or teilekatalog and seeing if the parts are the same ( you need the 6 digit model number of both a pre and post facelift to be sure - for example 204.123).

Sometimes there are subtle shape differences pre and post face lift - for example lower bonnet lines, different shaped lights, different hidden mounting structure)

Thanks very much for that, I have searched the part number on that website and confirming with the parts dealer.
