bumper for W208 - AMG vs. non-AMG?

I'm looking to buy a new front bumper cover
for my 2000 CLK430, and I see that some brands seem to be specifically for a model with AMG styling or bodywork. Do I need to know whether my 430 has AMG bodywork, and if I do, how do I find out? (Vehicle info attached.)

Many thanks!
Pete

All U.S. spec CLK430s have AMG bodywork.

accident or did you pull it off when you caught it on a concrete wheel stop? When you get it, there is a nice write up on replacing it yourself.....not hard but takes some time.

The latter. I'm going to install a parking sensor on the new one - especially since my son is about to get his learner's permit!

I have pulled mine off...wife pulled off after repair...this is 3rd bumper...now we know not to get near curb stops....the parking sensor will not help with the clk...it's just too low...slides up and over curb stop and then pops down once you have gone over...then when you back out, it catches and rips off...too many posts on MB forums saying same thing.....don't even go near a curb stop!!
