Mercedes C43/C63 carbon side-skirt selection must retain the customer’s body style throughout the inquiry and order. A coupe and sedan listing are not interchangeable because the styling looks similar. Match the exact reference to the current sill area, then establish whether the quoted scope is an extension, replacement piece or paired assembly.
C43 / C63 side skirts: documented catalog choices
| Reference | What the catalog distinguishes | What to establish for the quote |
|---|---|---|
| C43 item 4 | Two-door side-skirt label | Record the exact vehicle and current lower-body configuration. |
| C43 item 8 | Four-door side-skirt label | Keep this reference separate from the two-door order. |
| C63 item 4 | C63 side-skirt entry | Obtain its own body-style and interface confirmation. |

Keep coupe, sedan and C63 skirt requests in separate order lines
The C43 product table distinguishes two-door and four-door skirts. The C63 skirt belongs to a different catalog. Use those distinctions without extrapolating cross-model fitment.
| Order route | Reference | Record beside the reference |
|---|---|---|
| C43 two-door request | C43 item 4 | Actual two-door vehicle details and current sill photographs. |
| C43 four-door request | C43 item 8 | Actual four-door vehicle details and current sill photographs. |
| C63 request | C63 item 4 | Body configuration and its own application answer; do not inherit C43 details. |
- Use a stock-record pattern such as C43 / two-door / item 4 / supplier reference. This is an internal naming example, not a factory SKU.
- Write left side, right side or pair on each line; keep the requested sales unit distinct from the number of orders.
- For a repeat order, reuse only the previously accepted variant record. A successful coupe order does not approve a sedan variant.
The result is three distinct inquiry routes. A distributor can keep common finish descriptions while preserving the body-specific purchasing reference on every selected line.
C43 / C63 side skirts: application boundaries
Side skirts need more than an overall length comparison. Record the front and rear ends, the underlying sill and the existing skirt profile. Ask whether the part is an extension added to an existing piece or a replacement assembly. That distinction affects both what the shop orders and what it removes. Treat the catalog’s broad vehicle labels as selection aids; use the actual product response to create the final retail application statement.
Illustrative workshop decision
Example: a distributor groups two-door and four-door customers under one “C-Class carbon skirts” stock code. A later reorder becomes ambiguous even if the first installation went well. Use separate internal variants and retain the approved reference photographs for each. A shared brand and finish can remain in the listing, but the selectable variant needs to identify the actual body application.
C43 four-door skirt request: example inquiry
Example inquiry — C43 four-door skirt request
Reference: C43 catalog, page 1, item 8.
Requested scope: Four-door side-skirt reference; confirm whether the sales unit is a pair.
Add the actual vehicle details, quantity per selected line and delivery destination. The reference and scope above are an inquiry example, not an accepted order.
Keep the separate C63 item out of this order unless it is independently reviewed. A mixed carton should still identify which reference belongs to each customer vehicle.
C43 / C63 side skirts: buyer questions
Can a C43 skirt be sold as a C63 skirt because it looks similar?
Only after that exact application is confirmed. Similar appearance is not a cross-reference.
Does “side skirt” mean a left/right pair?
Ask for the sales unit. Keep one piece, one pair and one set distinct.
What should identify the reference on a mixed order?
Use the PDF name, page, row, body style and the confirmed product reference together. Keep a photo beside each selected line.
