To get the part number for your particular automobile, enter your VIN into https://partsouq.com/. Then, navigate to the attachment parts area and look for the rear bumper diagram. Depending on what you need, there appears to be a plethora of choices. I am unsure. On the other hand, you might contact the parts department at a local Mercedes dealership; they should be happy to assist you.

Everything is now franchised, so maybe different dealerships have different regulations, but as long as my phone calls aren't too lengthy, I've never had any issues with my local dealership. The ability to share displays makes it much easier when they are in the same room. As an added bonus, they are sometimes more than eager to print out helpful part diagrams.

I do the same thing. Whenever I place an order, I email the salesperson at my neighbourhood dealership, and he promptly provides me a snapshot of the order, along with the item number, description, and pricing. However, entering your VIN into partsouq should make it work.

Marshalls, one of our neighbourhood merchants, does not even carry replacement parts. After you chat with the attractive receptionist, who enquires as to whether or not you have placed an order for a part and details the nature of that order, the parts guy arrives with the part and collects payment. Despite the fact that they failed to specify that they are a no cash dealer the first time I ordered a part over the phone, I still had to return home to retrieve my card since I had the money. If there had been another option, I would not have returned.
And there's no way to share your screen with the man unless you've already placed an order remotely; he'll need the VIN and details about what you want before he can stop circling back to the parts department to obtain them. As someone who has worked for a primary dealer for a long time, I found it strange—and I imagine it was their loss—that they informed me that customers no longer needed to visit the store to place parts orders; everything could be done over the phone or via email. As a result, the parts counter was considered unnecessary.When the forecourt was empty, I hung out behind the parts counter and sold more than I can remember.

That is unfortunate. Mines Sytner, their parts department has consistently been excellent; but, with just one employee on staff, it can become quite hectic. Typically, one of them will go back to obtain the necessary components. You have to stand up while you're served because the space is cramped, there are no tables or chairs, and the counter is somewhat tall.

Compared to the saloon, the C205 Coupe has a different fitment. Get the VIN number from the number plate using an online site and look for a photo of a prefacelift vehicle on a site like Autotrader if you're looking for OEM recommendations.
If you know the VIN, you can get the right part numbers.
Changing the rear splitter and tips from my previous C43 saloon's pre-facelift to post-facelift version was that simple.
