Difference between 'Avantgarde' bumper and AMG bumper??
You may have seen my other posting asking if anyone has a front license plate mount. I did get a PM, however the mount part number crosses to an AMG bumper whereas the one I need is for the 'Avantgarde' bumper. Anybody know the difference? They look similar from what I can tell by looking online. Thanks!

Mercedes offers the E class in three different trim levels in Europe - Classic, Elegance, and Avantgarde. The three differ in the standard options content, and also the exterior trim and design. Avantgarde always uses a different front fascia and grill. Regular U.S. models use the elegance trim level, but have higher standard equipment levels than do European Elegance models.
I ran across this while looking for a plate mount for my AMG. The same part number is used to mount a U.S. style plate for either the AMG or Avantgarde bumper. Doesn't make it any less expensive, unfortunately.

When checking the build sheet on my E55 I saw avantgarde listed? Does that mean I have extra lil features over some other E55's??
