Mercedes W205 Tuning — Page 64

The Mercedes C-Class W205 (2014–2021) was produced as a sedan, wagon (S205), coupe (C205) and convertible, and most often it is tuned in one direction: to the C63 AMG look. This page brings together model-specific parts specifically for the W205: bumpers and body kits, grilles, lip splitters, diffusers, spoilers, lighting, hoods, steering wheels and floor mats. Model-specific products include “Mercedes C-class W205 2014-2021” in the name, and in brackets the body style, years and trim they are designed for.

C63 AMG-style bumpers and body kits

The most popular section is bumpers. Front bumpers are available in AMG C63 2014–2018, AMG C63 2018–2021, C63 GT and AMG Line 2018–2021 designs; the rear bumper is designed for a C63-style diffuser. They are adapted for the standard W205, not only the AMG version: the descriptions specify compatibility with sedan models of all years, both pre-facelift and facelift. Pay attention to the name: a “front bumper assembly” comes with a grille, while a “front bumper” without that wording means the bumper itself (assembled), without the grille.

If you want to change the entire look, it’s more convenient to choose a body kit: the front bumper, grille and rear section (a complete rear bumper or diffuser) are already matched to each other. There are separate kits for Coupe, the Black Mamba C63GT design, a kit with an aluminum hood and fenders, as well as a W206 AMG facelift conversion kit.

How to choose the right part for your W205

• Body style. Parts differ for sedan, wagon and coupe: OmsaLine and Carmos rear bumper trims are for SW, Esa is for sedan, and some kits and spoilers are Coupe-only.
• Years. Pre-facelift and facelift (from 2018) have different bumpers and headlights, and grilles also differ by mounting points. That’s why lip splitters, grilles and diffusers are labeled 2014–2018 or 2019–2021. If your car already has a bumper from a different period, choose based on the bumper actually installed, not the model year. The easiest way is to send the manager a photo of the front or rear end.
• Trim level. DPT trims are for AMG-Line only. Radiator grilles Diamond Silver, AMG Silver, Panamericana GT, C63-design and Rocket are made for Avantgarde, AMG-Line and C43 AMG; for the original C63 AMG there is a separate Panamericana GT option.
• Camera and Distronic. For grilles you can choose a version with a camera mount or without—check whether your car has a camera. If there is a Distronic radar behind the emblem, select the grille and emblem with the radar in mind: not every emblem lets the signal pass, so confirm compatibility with the manager.

Lip splitters, diffusers and spoilers: plastic or carbon

DPT front bumper lip splitters are made of glossy black ABS plastic and are installed with a glass adhesive sealant, which is purchased separately. Carbon trims are designed for a specific version—sedan Base, AMG-Line, C43 AMG, or C63 AMG coupe and convertible: a lip for AMG-Line, C43 or C63 will not fit another bumper. In the rear diffuser section you’ll find plastic diffusers with tips in C63 and C43 designs (black and silver) and carbon versions for sedan and coupe. Choose the diffuser based on the rear bumper actually installed: sedan and coupe parts are not interchangeable because the C205 has a different rear bumper. Spoilers include DPT in glossy black, 1234 Upgrade for Coupe, and a range of carbon options for 2015–2019 coupes; for sedans there is a carbon trim spoiler. All carbon parts are collected in the carbon trim section.

Lighting, hood, interior

Lighting options include facelift taillights (for pre-facelift 2014–2017 cars), BlackEdition V1 and V2 with smoked lenses, 2026-Design, as well as front headlights in Maybach and FullLed styles, separately for cars with halogen and with LED. Taillights are selected by year, body style and the actual rear-end design, while headlights are selected by the factory lighting type. They install in the OEM mounting points; if the name includes “without modules”, you transfer the modules from your original lights. For US-market cars, check the connectors before replacing the lights—re-pinning or coding may be required. Hoods are available in aluminum and carbon; it’s recommended to test-fit an aluminum hood before painting. A new grille often comes without an emblem—you either transfer the OEM one or purchase a front emblem, the emblem under glass, or its housing. AMG-Look mirror caps and stainless-steel covers are glued over the OEM caps—no removal needed. Premium mud flaps are sold separately as front and rear sets and differ for Base and AMG-Line bumpers. For the interior there are steering wheels in AMG 2018-Style, AMG 2021-Style and Maybach-Style (carbon, wood, LED options), 64-color ambient lighting, and floor mats in EVA, textile, Stingray polyurethane and Autogumm rubber, including Coupe-specific sets; trunk mats differ for sedan, wagon and coupe. For the roof there are cross bars for factory mounting points.

Installation and painting

Bumpers, body kits, hoods and fenders are supplied ready for painting and install in OEM mounting points. The workflow is: remove old parts, test-fit the new ones, prep, paint and final installation—test-fitting and panel-gap alignment are done before painting. You can install the body kit at the network of certified DD Tuning service centers—the manager will recommend the nearest one. DPT lip splitters do not need painting. And don’t mix generations: there are separate pages for W204 and W206, and parts are not interchangeable between body generations.
