Replacing chrome chin spoiler, W212 Sport
Well, I already managed to ram my chrome lip spoiler into a curb.
Looking around on the internets I found a decent exploded diagram of what I think I need, linked here:
https://www.mbdirectparts.com/auto-p...nts-front-scat
I am specifically looking at parts 15 and 16 here, right? However, part #16, the outer pieces of the chin spoiler - are they reversible, left to right? Why does the tag for part 16 say it's the outer RIGHT for coupe / convertible, but it appears to indicate it's LEFT for everything else? Do I just order one #15 and two #16s (since I did manage to tag all three "points" on the chrome) for the entire lip spoiler? My car is a '14 W212 Sport SEDAN by the way. NOT a coupe / convertible.
Thanks,
D

OK the more I look at this the more confused I get.
It seems like almost all the parts on this diagram specify COUPE/CONVERTIBLE but I can't figure out where to specify SEDAN.
Also it looks like #16 has two part numbers, one left and one right, but the RIGHT molding specifies COUPE / CONVERTIBLE when the left does not.
I'm so confused and not thrilled about dropping $400 in the first place, let alone $400 on parts I don't know are right.

Ordered, thank you very much. Now, what's going to be the reality of installing these things? Am I going to have to pull the whole front bumper cover?

Easy removal, carefully unclip preferably using plastic wedge.
