1. Confirm the Mercedes body code first

W213 sedan, S213 estate and C238 coupe are separate doorway applications. Choose the current page whose title names the same body, then keep the vehicle year and set beside that link.

E-Class Sedan W213

Current Mercedes-Benz E-Class W213 Matte catalogue source. Open W213 Matte.

The current Matte title identifies 2016–2023 and exposes COLOR BODY, COLOR HIGHLIGHT and SET. The paired Stainless page names the same W213 sedan.

E-Class Estate S213

Current Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate S213 Stainless catalogue source. Open S213 Estate.

This is a separate 2016–2023 Estate product path with COLOR, SET and STYLE controls.

E-Class Coupe C238

Two long door sill plates with Mercedes-Benz lettering and edges illuminated in white, straight-on view on a dark background.
Current Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe C238 Stainless catalogue source. Open C238 Coupe.

The title identifies 2017–2023 Coupe C238 and the SET is FRONT only. Its handle contains W213 wording, so use the title and body code as the check.

2. Use the matched W213 artwork and finish evidence

The W213 pair uses the Mercedes-Benz wordmark shown by the product artwork. The Stainless description confirms the logo, flanking light bars and side edge; the Matte visual shows the wordmark without bars. Keep that exact artwork separate from a three-pointed-star illustration.

W213 Matte PRO

Approved W213 Matte PRO visualization showing the Mercedes-Benz wordmark rather than a star emblem. It is not a customer photograph or dimensional fitment proof. Review W213 Matte.

Use COLOR BODY, COLOR HIGHLIGHT and SET on the exact W213 Matte page. Keep the buyer brief tied to the current title, artwork and selectors.

W213 Stainless Steel

Use COLOR, SET and STYLE. The current description names the logo, top light bars, side edge and a wired door-activated route; it is a separate finish path from Matte.

The matched W213 evidence supports artwork and finish selection. It is not dimensional fit proof, brightness testing or a customer installation photograph.

3. Record options for the exact body

Body path Current product choice Selectors to record Year/set check
E-Class Sedan W213 Matte Mercedes-Benz wordmark Matte PRO COLOR BODY, COLOR HIGHLIGHT, SET. Title identifies 2016–2023; confirm W213 sedan and FRONT or FRONT+REAR.

4. Finish the body and artwork check

Body code

Write W213 Sedan, S213 Estate or C238 Coupe. Do not let the Mercedes-Benz name alone decide the plate path.

Year wording

Keep 2016–2023 for W213 and S213, or 2017–2023 for C238, with the exact product URL.

Finish and set

Record Matte body/highlight or Stainless color/style, then choose the set allowed by that page. C238 is FRONT only.

Next guide

Use the installation guide after the body and finish are settled. The Mercedes-Benz collection keeps the other chassis paths together without implying fit.
