Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA C118 (2019+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Air Duct

Designed for Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA C118 second-generation (2019+) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Air Duct turns the front bumper's side air intake cutouts into carbon panels — combining CLA45 S AMG aesthetics with optimized airflow management. Manufactured in Europe to factory-spec tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this CLA C118 carbon front air duct fits OEM mounting points directly.

Front air ducts route clean airflow to the intercooler and front brake cooling while transforming the front bumper side cutouts into a DTM-style look. Ships as a left + right pair.

Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon

Prepreg carbon is autoclave-cured under heat and pressure, offers a more consistent weave, a controlled resin ratio, and is noticeably lighter. The production method widely chosen in motorsport.
