Mercedes CLA W118 C118 Facelift AMG Front Bumper

Mercedes-Benz CLA (W118/C118) Facelift (2024–2026), the AMG-Line front bumper represents a significant sharpen in styling over the pre-facelift versions. If you are sourcing this for a repair, a conversion, or inventory, here is the technical breakdown.

Key Visual & Structural Updates

The facelift bumper is designed to accommodate the updated LED High Performance or Multibeam headlamps. The most notable change is the move toward a cleaner, more integrated aerodynamic look.

• A-Wing Design: The lower central “A-Wing” is more pronounced, often finished in high-gloss black or chrome depending on whether the vehicle has the Night Package (Code P55).

• Air Intakes: The side air inlets now feature sharper, more vertical “flicks” or fins that improve airflow around the front wheels.

• The Grille: This bumper is designed to house the new Mercedes-Benz Star Pattern grille, which features dozens of small three-pointed stars rather than the older diamond pins.

Part Number Reference

While there are several variations based on sensor tech and trim, the primary shell components for the AMG-Line Facelift often fall under these sequences:

Technical Requirements for Installation

If you are performing a “Lift Conversion” (putting a 2024+ bumper on a 2019–2023 car), be aware of the following:

• Headlight Compatibility: The bumper cutouts are specifically shaped for the facelift headlights. While the outer dimensions are similar, the inner taper where the bumper meets the lamp has changed.

• Sensor Brackets: The Facelift utilizes 6 PDC sensors. Ensure the wiring harness from the pre-facelift car reaches the new sensor positions, as the mounting points have shifted slightly outward.

• Underbody Shielding: The air ducting behind the bumper (the radiator shutters and side ducts) is slightly different. To ensure proper cooling and high-speed stability, the facelift-specific air ducts are recommended.
