Mercedes CLA W118 C118 Lift Front Bumper A1188802802

part number A1188802802 refers to the front bumper cover (shell) for the Facelift (LCI) generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class (C118/X118), which debuted for the 2024 model year and continues through 2026.

Core Technical Specifications

This shell is the foundation for the updated front-end styling of the CLA. Because it is for the facelifted model, it features sharper lines and a more aggressive stance compared to the 2019–2023 versions.

• Vehicle Application: CLA-Class (C118 Coupe / X118 Shooting Brake).

• Trim Level: Designed for the AMG Line and Night Package configurations.

• Sensor Layout: Typically molded with 6 holes for the Parking Distance Control (PDC) sensors and supports Active Parking Assist.

• Material: Impact-resistant Polypropylene (PP).

Component Integration & Variations

It is important to note that A1188802802 is the primary plastic shell. To complete a full assembly or repair, several auxiliary components are usually required:

• The Grille: The facelift uses the new “Star” pattern grille (with miniature Mercedes logos) rather than the older diamond-pin style.

• Center Intake: The lower central grille is revised for better airflow to the radiators and intercoolers.

• 360° Camera: If the vehicle is equipped with the Surround View system, the center grille must have the specific bracket for the front camera lens.

• Inner Reinforcements: While the exterior is different, the internal impact absorbers often carry over, though specific facelift-only air ducts (left/right) are required for proper fitment.
