Not complete yet. So you are still good to go!

Only the luxury version gets the new 'bar' LED for MY 2011, and the sport version still has the "hockey stick" one for now....

It's coming I'll bet. Just like the 6 spoke AMG going to 5. As soon as the inventory runs out IMO.

Why darn then? You're hockey sticks won't be as common then.

Personally, they can't change to the straight-across corporate style fast enough. I think both look great, but anything to help keep some diversity to these cars is good with me.

You could probably rig it one way or another but I think the bumper is designed for the specific LED.

That is correct if you go to MBUSA.com and look at the bumpers of the various models, you will find the Sport version bumper is different than the luxury, and they are all different from the AMG. I did some work on this because my 2010 has the P1 with the round lights, and I'm considering a change to hockey sticks. For me the good news is if I decide to go that way my bumper is the same as the one which takes the hockey stick lights. BTW if you call your MB deal and give him the VIN they can give you some advise and the parts numbers necessary, assuming it's doable.

The bumper is a different shape but the side grills look to be the same .May just have to get one grill to see if it matches.
