The Mercedes-Benz W118 / C118 CLA FDGT Carbon Rear Canard sits within the DAS Motor Mercedes-Benz parts cluster. Its suitability depends on chassis, body style, exterior package, material and mounting geometry—not the model badge alone.
Mercedes-Benz W118 / C118 CLA FDGT Carbon Rear Canard overview
Rear canards introduce compact accents beside the lower bumper and can visually connect the diffuser with the rear wheel arches. Their angle should follow the bumper crease and remain balanced around reflectors, vents and exhaust outlets.
The C118 CLA Coupe and X118 Shooting Brake share a design language but differ around the roof and rear bodywork. CLA45, AMG Line and standard bumpers can also require different aerodynamic pieces.
The FDGT designation identifies the visual variant of this product. It should be compared directly with the regular FD version, particularly around projection, corner treatment and the way it connects with adjacent bumper or sill lines.

Compatibility and fitment for W118 / C118 CLA with AMG sport bumper
The local bumper profile is critical; a canard for a CLA45 bumper may not match an AMG Line or standard bumper. The body style and factory exterior package should match the product photographs at every mounting edge.
The listing gives model years 2019-now, but registration year alone is not enough. Decode the VIN or confirm the build date, then compare the bumper, sensors and trim level with the product gallery.
Installation requirements
The stated method is Add on / 3M tape adhering. Adhesive installation depends on temperature, surface preparation and uninterrupted contact pressure; polish, wax and silicone dressing must be removed from the bonding area.
Position both sides with temporary tape first, then compare height and projection before permanent fastening. Check clearance through the full movement of nearby panels, wheels or tailgate components before the installation is considered complete.
Material, finish and delivery inspection
The listing identifies Dry carbon / Vacuum Infusion construction. For this type of composite part, low weight is useful, but the practical quality checks are consistent weave direction, an even clear coat, clean edges and mounting surfaces that are not distorted.
Keep all protective film in place during the initial comparison, but lift it only where necessary to inspect the clear coat. Confirm the return procedure before making permanent modifications.
Price, availability and ordering in 2027
DAS Motor can help confirm current price and availability for the exact Mercedes-Benz application. Request a fitment check with the chassis code, model year, body style and clear photographs of the mounting area before purchase.
Do not assume that parts carrying similar FD, FDGT, GT or AMG-style names are interchangeable. These labels describe appearance; the mounting shape must still correspond to the exact vehicle and bumper.
Inspect the exposed outer tips after washing and after driving on roads with loose debris. Use pH-neutral shampoo and a soft wash method; abrasive polish can change the gloss level of the clear coat relative to surrounding factory trim.
Mercedes part pre-order checklist
- Confirm left-hand and right-hand symmetry.
- Measure the principal mounting surface.
- Check cameras, radar and parking sensors.
- Review exhaust and tow-equipment clearance.
- Inspect the delivery before dismantling the car.
- Retain packaging until fitment is established.
Mercedes-Benz W118 / C118 CLA FDGT Carbon Rear Canard FAQ
Does this rear canard fit every W118 / C118 CLA with AMG sport bumper?
No. Confirm the chassis code, body style, production date, bumper package and mounting geometry. A shared sales name does not guarantee identical exterior panels.
What should be checked before ordering in 2027?
Verify current stock, price, delivery terms, included hardware, material specification and the seller's fitment evidence for the exact VIN or vehicle configuration.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. A specialist should dry-fit the component, check symmetry and clearance, and confirm the correct adhesive or mechanical fasteners before any permanent modification.
