Bonnet C118 for Mercedes-Benz CLA-CLASS

Replacement bonnet panel for the second-generation Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class on the C118 chassis (from 2019 onward). Built to OEM-equivalent specifications to restore factory panel gaps, latch alignment, and structural performance. Supplied in protective e-coat primer, ready for preparation and paint. Designed to transfer all original hardware and trims from the existing bonnet.

Key Features:

• OEM Specification: Manufactured to Mercedes-Benz dimensional tolerances for factory-correct fit and finish.

• Installation Ready: Transfer washer jets/hoses, insulation pad, seals, emblem, and any acoustic or pedestrian-safety components as equipped.

Q&A:

Q1: Is the bonnet supplied painted?
A1: No. It is delivered in OE-style e-coat primer and must be prepared and painted to match your vehicle.

Q2: Do I need new hinges or a latch kit?
A2: Typically no. Reuse the factory hinges, latch/striker, rubber stops, and seals unless damaged.

Q3: Does it fit AMG models (CLA35/CLA45)?
A3: Yes, the C118 platform shares the bonnet shell across multiple trims. Confirm by VIN for AMG variants or vehicles with additional insulation/sensors.

Q4: Are washer nozzles and insulation included?
A4: These components are not included. Transfer washer jets/hoses and the insulation pad from your original bonnet.

Q5: How do I achieve perfect alignment?
A5: Loosely mount the hinges and latch, set even gaps to the wings and bumper, then torque to specification. A professional body-shop fit and paint process is recommended for best results.
