07+ Front Bumper non-sport vs. sport

Been doing some searching and saw erifly's nice writeup on the 07+ facelift conversion.

https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...nt-bumper.html


I want to do this conversion but can someone post up a car with the 07+ non-sport bumper? I have been going back and forth through pics & sigs and am trying to figure out the difference. I think I am only seeing sport bumpers

Non sport 07+ bumper doesn't have the extra chrome fins around the fog lights.

Thanks guys. Looks like the sport has the same bumper as the AMG but the AMG has the "gills". I like the fog light style on the sport a little better. I wonder if you could put those in the non-sport bumper.

The foglights themselves are the same, but the cover flaps are different. Also, the chrome around the non-sport are seperate, but the chrome and coverflap on the sport is one piece. And when i did my conversion, i believe its not actually sport but AMG package, becuase i got a lot of parts wrong with sport. I think they go normal, sport, amg package, e63......

Which bumper did you convert to? With the fog lights being the same do you think the chrome and cover flap from the sport would work on the non-sport? Not sure how that stuff mounts.

Hi,

Is it possible to have the chrome cover of the fog lights in the non sport version (2 lines chrome) being put into the sport version bumper? I somehow like the 2 lines chrome better.. but as for the bumper itself as a whole sport one does look niceeee..

thanks in advance..

nope, no bumper parts are compatible with the other. they did that on purpose even on the pre-face lift, the sport bumpers would flare in from the top and on the nons they flare in from the bottom. look at the pic above, looked at the diff shapes of the fog light grill inserts.

Thank you so much, yeah I see the black thingy behind the chrome for sticking the chrome in seems different one to another, But I thought we could replace one to the other including the black bacground inserts for the chrome from non-sport to be put into the sport one...
