Q&A
Q1: How do I know if I have AMG Line?
AMG Line has larger lower intakes and different undertray shapes. Your build sheet may show code P31. If AMG Line, select the AMG Line brace.
Q2: Will this fit facelift models?
Often yes where specified, but facelift cars may use different braces. Match by VIN or OE for certainty.
Q3: Are bolts and clips included?
No, reuse serviceable hardware or order replacements as needed.
Q4: Can I drive without this brace?
Not recommended, you risk poor panel alignment, increased noise and reduced mounting integrity for underbody panels.

Condition: New aftermarket replacement part. Not an original Mercedes-Benz part; brand and model names are used only to show fitment.
