This DAS Motor product guide reviews the Mercedes-Benz W118 / C118 CLA45 FDGT Carbon Rear Bottom plate, a rear bottom plate associated with W118 / C118 CLA with AMG sport bumper. It focuses on compatibility, carbon construction, fitting requirements, availability and purchase preparation.
Mercedes-Benz W118 / C118 CLA45 FDGT Carbon Rear Bottom plate overview
A rear bottom plate changes the flat lower section beneath the bumper and complements diffuser or side pieces. Its outline must clear exhaust components while maintaining a centred position across the underside.
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.
Specifications and Mercedes-Benz application
- Vehicle application: W118 / C118 CLA with AMG sport bumper
- Model years: 2019-now
- Product type: Rear Bottom Plate
- Style: FDGT
- Material: Dry carbon / Vacuum Infusion
- Installation: Add on / drilling screw & bolt
Compatibility and fitment for W118 / C118 CLA with AMG sport bumper
Inspect underbody panels, brackets and exhaust routing because these details are difficult to judge from an exterior photograph alone. The body style and factory exterior package should match the product photographs at every mounting edge.
Compatibility should be confirmed in three stages: chassis code, production date and exterior package. The published range of 2019-now remains useful only when all three match the photographed vehicle.
Installation requirements
The stated method is Add on / drilling screw & bolt. Mark and test-fit every mounting point before drilling, protect exposed holes against corrosion where applicable and tighten fasteners evenly rather than pulling an inaccurate part into position.
Lift access and professional fitting are advisable so every fixing point can be viewed and loaded correctly. 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.
Place the uninstalled part on a padded surface and compare left and right sides. Uneven curvature, twisted mounting flanges or blocked holes should be resolved before the vehicle is dismantled.
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.
A complete installation plan should include consumables and labour as well as the component itself. Adhesive promoter, replacement clips, corrosion protection or bumper removal can change the real scope of the job.
Check for heat marks, contact damage and trapped debris during routine underside inspections. Seasonal temperature changes are a useful time to inspect bonded joints, particularly where composite and painted metal expand at different rates.
Mercedes part pre-order checklist
- Separate model name from chassis designation.
- Check sedan, coupe, estate or SUV application.
- Verify the exterior package and facelift version.
- Review material and visible finish.
- Confirm adhesive and mechanical mounting needs.
- Allow for professional test-fitting before coating.
Mercedes-Benz W118 / C118 CLA45 FDGT Carbon Rear Bottom plate FAQ
Does this rear bottom plate 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.
