RE: 10 new uncovered R171 pictures and new information

What I wanna know now is, which one of the front bumpers is for the 200, which one is for the 350, and well... we know how the AMG one will look like.

In the picture I attached below, we can see the top two cars having the new sports amg bumper.

The middle row has SLK's with bumpers that look like the amg ones, but without the sports ventilations on the sides and a little bit less blocky looking (the parts just underneath the head lights). Could this be the 350 ?

And finally, the bottom row has an R171 with another type of bumper. Here the fog lights are not round, but rather arrow shaped (and a bit oval), and the supports that separate the fog light wells and the middle air intake hole, are shaped like this -> \ / <-instead of -> / \ <- like on the AMG (and the middle one). So, could this one be the 200 ?

I quite like both bumpers, I wonder if there will be a sports package of some sort that will give the AMG look for the 200/350, or maybe the middle car with the AMG like bumper IS the one with the sports package.

Maybe someone here has a better idea ?
