Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA C118 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Air Canard

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

Designed for Mercedes-Benz AMG CLA C118 second-generation (2019+) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Air Canard set adds small aero wings to the front bumper corners, redirecting front-axle airflow at speed, contributing to front downforce, and giving the car a DTM-style face. Made to factory-spec tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this CLA C118 carbon canard attaches with 3M double-sided tape + clips.

Canards are flat wings mounted at a 45° angle on the bumper side corners; they redirect front-axle airflow outward, deliver a marginal front-downforce contribution, and push the front-end appearance toward DTM/touring car identity. Ships as a left + right pair.

• Race-Grade Strength: Very high strength for its weight, resists stone chips.

Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon

Prepreg carbon is autoclave-cured, offers a more consistent weave, and is noticeably lighter. The production method widely chosen in motorsport.

Installation Notes

2. Align the canard, mark the correct angle.
3. Remove the 3M tape liner, press the canard firmly.
4. Avoid washing for 24 hours for full bond.
5. Repeat for the opposite side.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral shampoo. Wipe canard edges with a soft cloth. After track use, use a carbon-safe cleaner.
