About This Part

Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Hood Replacement

Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 Hood replacement is intended for body repair projects involving damaged, dented or otherwise unsuitable hood panels. Designed for buyers sourcing replacement exterior body parts, this listing provides a starting point for identifying the correct hood configuration for a compatible W205 vehicle.

The hood is an important exterior body panel that covers the engine compartment and contributes to the vehicle’s overall appearance. When replacing a damaged panel, the correct shape, mounting points, edge profile and alignment with the front fenders and bumper should be considered.

Our focus is on helping buyers identify suitable replacement parts for their repair requirements. Vehicle details should be checked before ordering because a shared model name does not necessarily mean that every hood version is interchangeable.

Vehicle Application and Compatibility

Vehicle make: Mercedes-Benz
Vehicle model: C-Class
Chassis code: W205
Model-year reference: 2015–2021
Part name: Hood / Bonnet
Installation position: Front
Application: Exterior body repair and replacement

The W205 designation generally refers to the C-Class sedan. Other body styles, such as the S205 estate, C205 coupe and A205 convertible, use different chassis codes. Their compatibility should not be assumed solely from the C-Class name.

Production specifications, market differences and individual vehicle configurations may also affect part selection. For this reason, please confirm the exact vehicle before purchasing a Mercedes C-Class Bonnet.

If your vehicle has undergone a facelift or has a particular exterior configuration, provide clear photos of the existing hood and surrounding panels. This helps us assess whether the replacement part matches the required body shape.

OE Reference Numbers

The following numbers can be used as starting points when checking the required replacement hood:

• 2058800357
• 2058800457

These are reference numbers reported in replacement-parts listings, not a guarantee that both numbers fit every W205 vehicle. The number applicable to your vehicle must be confirmed against the original part, VIN and relevant parts information.

You can review the Mercedes-Benz parts listing for hood reference 205-880-03-57 and the W205 hood replacement catalogue for additional cross-reference information.

Please note that an OE reference is provided for identification and compatibility checking. It does not mean that this product is supplied by Mercedes-Benz or that the listed numbers are universal across all model years and configurations.

Before placing an order, compare the available reference number with your original hood whenever possible. If the original number is unavailable, send us the VIN and photos so we can help review the application.

Hood Panel Features and Replacement Considerations

A W205 Hood Panel needs to match the vehicle’s body dimensions and installation requirements. When checking a replacement part, buyers should pay attention to several practical details.

Panel shape and exterior profile: The hood should correspond to the intended vehicle version and align properly with the adjacent body panels.

Mounting points: Hinge positions, fastening locations and other installation features should be checked against the existing configuration.

Front edge alignment: The front edge must correspond to the surrounding grille, bumper and headlamp arrangement. Incorrect alignment can affect the finished appearance and may complicate installation.

Material and finish: Please confirm the material and surface condition of the specific product being quoted. Material, coating and paint requirements should not be assumed unless they are included in the confirmed specifications.

Vehicle-specific requirements: If your vehicle has previously sustained collision damage, inspect the surrounding mounting structure before selecting a replacement hood. Deformation elsewhere may also affect panel alignment.

These checks can help buyers select a more suitable Mercedes W205 Bonnet for their repair project and reduce the risk of ordering an incompatible panel.

Replacement Hood for Collision Repair

A damaged hood can affect both the exterior appearance and the proper fit of adjacent body components. Replacing the panel with a compatible part can form part of a broader front-end repair, depending on the extent of the damage.

For repair shops, distributors and automotive parts importers, accurate identification is especially important when sourcing body panels for vehicles of different years or configurations.

When requesting a W205 Hood Replacement, please indicate whether you need the hood panel only or are also sourcing related front-end parts. Additional components should be quoted separately unless their inclusion in the package has been explicitly confirmed.

If paint preparation or refinishing is required, please discuss the expected finish and handling requirements before ordering. Do not assume that the part will arrive painted to your vehicle’s exact color unless this has been agreed in writing.

Ordering and Quotation Information

To help us check your requirements, please provide the following details:

• Vehicle production year and model version
• VIN, if available
• Photos of the current hood and the vehicle’s front end
• Original part number or OE reference, if available
• Any known differences in body style or exterior configuration
• Destination country and preferred shipping arrangements

With this information, we can review the requested configuration, check available replacement options and confirm the product details before preparing a quotation.

For international orders, we recommend confirming the part number, product specifications, package contents and shipping method before payment. This is particularly important for large body panels, where packaging and transport arrangements may affect the total delivery cost.
